Then they are _real_ skydivers. Such a clever post......Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

kallend 2,146 #27 December 20, 2008 QuoteQuote and sailplane pilots must deal with the same issues that skydivers do when landing.So if a sailplane pilot has a particulary hard landing, is the pilot obligated to break his own leg with a sledgehammer upon exiting the cockpit ? What's the SOP on this ? I am a licensed sailplane pilot, and I assure you that a bad landing in a sailplane will likely result in multiple fractures or even death. No sledgehammer needed.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
