Waver

....I think they are getting a little worked up and are exaggerating the legal risk.

Sighhh.

OK, you're right. An undergrad knows better than an attorney with 20+ years practice experience (including as counsel to several skydiving businesses) what legal risks are "exaggerated".

Next time I need a tooth filled, fuck the dentist, man, I'm going to you, 'cause you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Mjo. Let me make this real clear for you so there is no confusion in the future. I don't want any input from you in any way shape or form. Whenever you see my drozone name, do not reply to ither my posts or responses. I do not care at all what you have to say to me. So please, next time you have the urge to say something to me,,,don't.

Ah, such maturity. You and your pal give legs to the argument that the minimum age to skydive should be increased to 25.

Sparky - Let me make this real clear for you so there is no confusion in the future.

1 - I'll take input from you anytime you'd like. I may disagree with it (rarely) and when it happens I'll take the time to say why and have an even better discussion as a result. But I think your experience is great and you always intend the best for all of us in the sport.

2 - I do want any input from you in any way shape or form whenever you take the time.

3 - Whenever you see my dropzone name, please drink a beer or go up on a jump with a newbie. I'll do the same.

4 - I do care what you have to say to me and will frequently use it with others and then pretend it's my own experience and wisdom in the sport.

5 - So please, next time you have the urge to say something to me,,, use the spell checker first, eye donut reed sew well sumtimes.

sincerely,
me

Edit: the only reason I read this thread was because the word waiver was mispelled. I thought "what hundred jump wonder started this one". True

FFit - Congrats for trying to start a club. It's a great thing. Hint though, a thin skin and a defensive posture is a crappy way to start life. Maybe if the skydiving operation is one you'll plan to use for the club, they could modify their waiver so your club to also be covered, thus saving those you bring in from the hassle of going through two documents.

You're cracking me up. If you find time where you aren't busy shot gunning lawsuits at people I would love to have a beer with you.

As far as the tooth ache goes, come on over. A 5th of jack, a 2lb mini sledge, and I will have your tooth ache fixed in no time.

On the flip side if I get sued, I will be sure to call you and admit that I was a fool. I think I will try and keep my big yap shut for the rest of this thread.

I never waver when it comes to Sparky. Really good guy. But man he's old

And thanks for the airport rides. 23 years between them -- the guy's got staying power!

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. (tbrown)

If you are referring to Algonquin College, yes, I have studied there, earned a diploma in Print Journalism there and learned how to use Spell Check there.

Bill,

Thank you. That makes an old man feel warm and fuzzy. But I should have known better than to screw with Vlad, he is a real skydiver that takes it to the max.

You keep on keep'n on Vlad.

bah, at your age, you're already fuzzy most likely. I'm finding it around the nostrils and ears. So nothing accomplished there.

yep, this is STILL the funniest thing I read yesterday. No need to listen to a guy that really has forgotten more than you currently know, survived in the sport 30 some years, world record holder (must have been at some time?) etc etc. ::sigh::

Yea, that's really something, seriously. But it's not even going to matter what I say. What's the point of talking to people who just want to see you fail and have nothing but negative shit to say to you every time. Like if this guy is who u say he is, why would he bring up the past for everyone to see, is he afraid that he's gonna lose a part of his status or something? (By the way, these "questions" do not need anwsers) I dunno, but at this point I don't really care.

If you think that then you don't mjosparky very well, oh well. I only know him by reputation anyway.

But there is a lot of good advice for you in this thread, advice which you asked for, and some you should put to use.

This will be the last time I will reply to one of your posts,

Do you seriously think anyone that posts here wants to see you fail? You posted a question, you were the one seeking advice. When you get advice from qualified people, in this case an attorney, you give them shit because it is not what you what to hear.

Quote

why would he bring up the past for everyone to see,

You call me out in a public form and then bitch about me posting a link. The purpose of the link was to show that there is a pattern to your little tirades. Are you embarrassed by what you have posted in the past?

Quote

is he afraid that he's gonna lose a part of his status or something?

Trust me, I am not in the least concerned about gaining or losing status. Status is fleeting. The only thing important in this game we play is gaining knowledge. Knowledge will keep you alive when all your status is failing.

If status is your thing, acting like a mature adult will go a long way to improve your status. Part of being mature is accepting well meaning and freely given advice from others. You don’t have to follow it but having the common courteously to not throw a tantrum over it will always improve your staus.

Quote

but at this point I don't really care.

If you plan to continue jumping you had better care because with your present attitude very few others will.

This is just my opinion, take it or leave it.

I'm not embarassed, but if you did fell comfortable, then you wouldn't have done that. You're always accusing me of "throwing tantrums". That is what bothers me. And advice like "if you can't spell a word right, you shouldn't do it" What kind of legal advice is that? I know all this stuff already. What I was looking for in the first place was some real hard lines that I could put into my waiver, to draft a copy before I go to the lawers, not people telling me to seek legal advice, I already knew that. And that last part about me not caring, the people I know and jump with and my dropzone I really do care about 110%. I'm not usually like this, but when you're always accusing me of crying and crap like that, why would I care?

hahaha, this is hilarious. how old are you guys? are people honestly getting worked up over what someone is saying to them over the internet? even better is that everyone is correcting each other's grammar. i have a paper that i have to do in spanish due on monday for my class. anyone want to proof read it for me while you guys are in the "correcting grammar" mood? you must know spanish though.

After being in the sport a few years I found the best ones seemed to be where you personally copied a statement (I riealize this is a dangerous sport Blah Blah. How could they say I never read it complety if its in their own writing It worked well with the student written final test. "I didnt know what toggles were thats why I flew into the hanger".Keep in mind no waiver is bullet proof .But cover your Butt as well as you can. Some lawyers pride themselves on loop holes . EG the women and the coffe cup at Mcdonalds , The guy who got up with his motor home on cruise control to make a sandwich. Always rember the difference between a dead skunk and a dead lawyer in the road is there are skid marks in front of the skunk. Its hard to believe but USPA can help. Dont let anyone jump without one.
