Our cameraman used it and didn't stow it correctly so it flew out of the plane on decent.. He couldn't understand why I was pissed. I am an old fart, at least by skydiving standards. never pull low......unless you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #8 September 17, 2003 New to skydving, i've never heard of EFS... So, I looked it up... for those who are sky virgins like myself : "EFS Acronym for the Skydivers 'creed' - "Every Fine Sunday" (or is that "Eat Fuck Skydive") " Personally, I like the second definition better:D Angela.

I certainly have been there. When I asked for the first time, I was embarassed. The guy who told me was not. I still get somewhat embarassed when I see it. Folks dont use it a whole lot. Just you guys who jumped rounds. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dterrick 0 #15 September 17, 2003 QuoteI've always preferred SFE myself. Uh - oh, time for some algrbra.. does E=F/S? If E= 0, then no F and no S follow logically. you die. If E>0 and f>=1, then S >=1 also. Life is good If F=0, nothing matters -Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TitaniumLegs 8 #19 September 17, 2003 If E=F/S Then E for S=0 is undefined, or impossible. Therefore, since S<0 is not possible (you can't "unjump"), S *must* >0. Further, since you can't half jump out of a plane (it's kinda like being a little bit dead or a little bit pregnant - to steal a phrase from somebody else), we can reason that S must be a natural number (integer >0). Therefore, all people must skydive at least once. If F=0, E must also be 0, regardless of S (other than S=0). In other words, if you don't buy dinner, you're not getting laid. It can also be reasoned that if you take someone skydiving, you don't have to buy as much, or as nice a dinner in order to get laid. (I actually have empirical evidence of this.) YMMV - Your Math May Vary (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
