  1. What are the facts concerning this fatality? Anybody jumping this size reserve at anywhere from 180lbs to the max exit weight had better be sure of two things they do not come down under it unconscious and they better be damn good at landing one!
  2. I jumped my Delta II in the same piggyback that I used for my PC but I can't remember if it was tight or loose.
  3. All three possible findings [rape, sexual abuse, forcible touching] are forms of battery, so a finding that Mr. Trump had engaged in any of these would be sufficient to hold him liable for battery," she said. "The most precise way to say it would be something like, 'The jury found by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll and therefore was liable for battery.'" Florey added that to satisfy liability for rape, Carroll would "have had to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Trump penetrated her with his penis." Although Carroll did not establish this, it does not mean that the jury did not believe her. since this is a civil court the preponderance of evidence is MUCH lower and only 51% needs to be in either side and in actual fact clear evidence is often not needed only a convincing testimony, anyway I'm out of this, I don't like politics its a dirty business and very little good comes from debating this old stuff.
  4. Am I missing something in this rhetoric? I do not recall a conviction for rape at anytime but if I am wrong please correct me.
  5. When Hell freezes over.....wait, even if Hell did freeze over he wouldn't win!
  6. O.K. Keep us informed, inquiring minds wish to know.
  7. I don't see how you can say that I implied same sex couples are going to be the only couples when I clearly said only a few.
  8. Show me where I said same sex couples are going to be the only couples????
  9. My replies are not meant to not include adopting etc..
  10. Well, I can see that nothing I say will be of any consequence but the truth remains that the family unit is the backbone of civilization and that is only accomplished by a heterosexual relationship. I can see absolutely NOTHING good coming from two men or two women together in a relationship raising children.
  11. I quote "society". That implies a multitude of people and damn sure not by IVF, adoption and surrogate. You may get a few dozen but you are NOT going to build a society using that means.
  12. It has been about 10 years since this topic started and as far as I can see nothing has surfaced about a new AAD for sport parachuting. Is the OP of this thread a corp. officer of FXC company? There is a newish AAD for the military referred to as the EEAAD but as far as my research has taken me nothing has surfaced about one for sport jumpers.
  13. That statement is either ignorant or stupid, explain to me how a society can be built with a two mom or dad family (if you wish to call it that)
  14. I'm looking at containers also and am going to go for the Cypress because of reviews and research.
  15. Good thinking, I should have thought of that right off!
  16. Does anybody have an email address for Jim?????
  17. I know someone out there has a pic because Jenkins had about 20 of them, I will pay thru the nose to have it sent to me so I can have a copy made. Thanks Don for never returning mine!
  18. The reason I am going to great lengths is that I have not jumped in years (read my first post) and wish to start again, I only have a few jumps on squares and I wish to be entirely cognizant of the new way reserves are setup, the way totals are addressed now withs the RSL and MARD is very different than when I stopped jumping.
  19. Yes, the Devil is in the details with that setup and requires careful attention that's why I wanted to obtain as much info as possible on the operation of that system.
  20. I wanted to know (I went to the Velocity site to find out) the exact sequence of events that take place when there is a MARD and AAD in place.
  21. I had a malfunction similar to this, I was jumping a Stratostar at Elsinore with a borrowed rig that was too lose on me, the reserve handle fell out of the pocket and the pin worked its way out of the reserve. The reserve was a 26 Lo-Po and fell down and inflated behind me, I watched it fully inflate behind the stratostar and when it bumped the main I cut the main away. It was a non-event but in retrospect I could see where it could get real bad.
  22. I can see it plain as day, he may have broke wrists after the pic but as i have it it is an 11 man.
  23. I have that pic. it is an 11 man with one person about to break wrists and three more on approach. Actually 4 danglers.
