NoShitThereIWas 0 #77 June 11, 2004 Goat-fuck-stupid, Vinnie? I stopped reading this thread after your post to respond ... I liked that, that was a good one. Yeah, I'm with Vinnie!!! Give him a time out. (It works on my 3 year old) Seriously, if this guy is a hazard to himself, it's one thing. Definitely the responsibility of, if no one else, the DZO to do "something" if for no other reason than to protect his/her own ass from the bad publicity he/she would have to deal with from the press when the guy does do something to screw the pooch. A hazard to other people, that is a whole other story altogether. I know that the people at my DZ would not tolerate any Yahoo coming in and endangering the lives of others regardless of their jump numbers. We like to Keep our DZ Safe, thank you. I can almost guarantee that if we saw someone doing stupid human tricks to risk themselves, they would most likely be jumping "solo" if they are that lucky. Granted we all make some mistakes and not one of us is perfect, but imperfection vs. arrogance combined with ignorance are completely different. I can say on my own behalf that if someone does something which intentionally endangers me, I will handle the problem myself and that person had better protect his handles. I have had people nearly take me out due to their own arrogance and negligence. Luckily, it has only happened twice. One was a "timing miscalculation" of a solo head downer who followed our 2 way sit fly out of the plane without enough separation. He nearly plowed through my canopy after I was already open and was so close that I could hear him coming and could see the look on his face as he passed me. We had a "discussion" on the ground following the jump. The other guy decided to hook turn right in front of me when I was on final and his shoes carved right in front of my face. All I could think of at that moment was this is it, I am dead. He bailed from the DZ before anyone could find him. Yep, I take endangering my life and other's seriously.
