LouDiamond 1 #1 July 28, 2003 For those of you who have the current Parachutist magazine already, turn to the story on the PJ's. This may be too specific for most but I know we have some MFF folks out there. The first picture in the article shows a jumper kitted up with a O2 mask on. The test is to ID all the deficiencies the jumper has. Bonus points if you can correctly name the deficiencies and explain what/why it is wrong. You have 1 minute to inspect one jumper, your time will begin when you turn and face the jumper.

jraf 0 #12 July 28, 2003 Scott no offence but there are three defficiencies: 1) his jump suit is not fashionable and will be hard to find if he has an injury on an off landing 2) he has a gun - I keep my gun in the car as to not endanger my fellow skydivers in free fall. After the beer light goes on it's a different story 3) He has to jump for a living. I live for jumping.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

Hooknswoop 19 #15 July 28, 2003 No altimeter That collar would beat the crap out of him in freefall/no jumpsuit Strap hanging off the back onto the floor No gloves Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnischalke 0 #16 July 28, 2003 Is he gonna freefall with an alice pack down at his legs? What about the urination hose attached to his helmet? Or, does that tube go up his ass? And, all them patches he's got stuck to his bdu's--That's just gay. That rifle looks real secure too. I also like the magazine in the gun. Wait a minute, this guy is airfarce. They have M4s? Outside the plastic wrapper? Get out of town!!! The dangly straps and webbing are really cool touches. so, now my guesses as to what's wrong with the picture: 1) He stole LouDiamond's helmet. 2)Those ball things on the counter behind him are anti-gravity devices that won't even be invented for 30 more years. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

LouDiamond 1 #17 July 28, 2003 Hook has got two of them so far. Jumping in BDUS is perfectly normal though a jumpsuit is prefered.

No Parachutist yet Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
