skyrider 0 #3 January 21, 2010 BTW, I make light of the seat belt rules only because back then., there was a seatbelt on the floor, Nothing to hook it to, but it was there, I have over a 1000 jumps out of Poppa Victor that crashed at Perris , killing 12 of my friends, and 4 new friends I never met , After that crash, we took belts serious, People were killed very much due to being crushed under the weight of people on top of them! (It stopped nose down, If you never saw the crash pictures) So, I am NOT talking against the idea of belts! WOW, for me that is a long ramble! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
