1. A device for recording descent data for successive skydiving jumps, comprising:

  • a pressure transducer for providing a pressure signal signifying ambient pressure;

    a display means for displaying descent data; and

    a processing means coupled to said display means and said pressure transducer, including;

    trigger means for sensing a rate of change in the pressure signal from said pressure transducer and for providing a trigger signal in response to the rate of change of the pressure signal crossing a predetermined threshold; and

    recording means for recording for each jump in response to the trigger signal an altitude datum corresponding to the pressure signal, each altitude datum being held for at least a predetermined number of succeeding jumps for subsequent display on said display means.
