drdive 0 #1 September 30, 2008 Last weekend we had an incident at the Ritz (West Plains Skydiving, Ritzville, WA) A well known, local S&TA decided he could fire walk at the bonfire, was having some balance problems (I assume from some vertigo from an inner ear problem but I can't be sure), and during said firewalk, the S&TA fell, suffering a large gash on his shin area of his leg. Tequila was reportedly used to cleanse the wound, bandages applied, and the next day an eminent skydiving physician, Dr. Pete Hill evaluated the wound and said "fuck it, you will live". No students were reportedly involved in this botched landing, this skydiver with close to 2000 jumps apparently botched the approach all by him self, and no blame should be laid on the Kokanee sucking students or experienced jumpers at the scene. Names have not yet been released pending notification of kin and Muttley. Please refrain from personal attacks, and lets all pull together wishing for a full recovery. Stats: Jumps - about 2K Ethanol loading - estimated at 0.18 Experience level at said ethanol loading - extensive with only previous scrapes and bruises Conditions: Clear, new moon, flickering lights Hear is to a full and speedy recovery to the injured party. Doc PS This is what you get for interupting our carnal events to report your dumb ass behavior - not once but 3 times"We saved your gear.

drdive 0 #20 September 30, 2008 >>> Duhhhhhhh - pure speculation, but multiple witnesses have told me that the estimate of 0.18 may be a very conservative estimate of the ethanol loading, and it could have been as high as 0.24. Now i personally have seen the victim at an even higher wing - er ethanol loading whilst driving his Toyota tundra (black) at a high rate of speed over bumpy Montana roads while I tried to unsuccessfully keep from spilling my fucking Lang Stout on my brand new Lang T-shirt, hence my sig line "We saved your gear.
