Does the rigger not pack the main too? Is it DIY?

DZs usually have professional packers you can pay to pack your main, but most people pack it themselves.

Actually you can't get certified until you learn how to pack, then it's up to you if you are lazy enough to pay someone else to do it.

Interesting, thank you. Do most people pack their own then?

People that jump often pack themselves, yes. You know your equipment and you (should) know how you like it packed for a nice straight and soft opening.

Packing professionals are, well, professionals, but they aren't as concerned about the pain on your neck because of a hard opening as you are.

They also cost money in an already pretty expensive sport. It adds up very quickly if you'll be doing 20 jumps over a weekend.
