  3. You know, a lot of skydivers are very bright people too. As well as many folks that die in car accidents. I think this is what these "watcher" folks are so hung up about - the fact that these people were bright and promising. Thanks for your thoughts everyone. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    That qualifies for the most disturbing thought of the month. What's it like without them? -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

  10. I'm with you there. How many people die in car accidents every single day? I'll bet money that it's a whole lot more than 7. Death is a part of life. By choosing to be astronauts, they chose not just how to live, but also how to die. If they can accept that choice, why can't everyone else? The whole story is so big now because they want out so spectacularly. Same reason nobody covers skydiving successes, but all the whuffos jump on every failure anyone ever does in the air. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

    I think it would be better to just chop them off with scissors. Sure would hurt less. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

  13. All I hear about the Columbia disaster is "How horrible" and "They shouldn't have died like that." I agree that the accident is tragic, but just listen to me for a moment, and then decide if I'm crazy. They went up, I'm guessing, for a similar reason we go up. And they take a much greater risk when they do. Why is it then that they should not have died this way? Would it be better if the accident did not happen? Yes, but the accident happened because their business is a very risky one. That is the real reason they died, at least I think so. The only way to eliminate that risk is to get out of the whole space thing for good. What I'm trying to say is, if this accident did not happen, some other would have eventually and we would have been saying the same thing about them. So to say that they should not have died this way is only delaying the inevitable. Someone would have died this way, such is the job they are doing. Everytime someone says "they shouldn't have died this way" sounds to me like "whuffo do they ride that space shuttle?" I wish someone would look at that video of the fireball and say "Damn, I wish I could go out like that". Now that would make those 7 smile. Am I nuts?

  14. My goal - finish student progression, register 50 freefalls by August 1st, jump own gear by August 1st, go to WFFC on August 1st. January #s: But the season starts on February 15th.

  15. This is a tragedy. Of course, those people died doing what they love doing, and they understood that their job is dangerous, but this does not lessen the severity of what happened. This is one of the most, if not the most, deadly and dramatic accidents to hit the US space program. We can only hope that, unlike the Apollo I horror, death came quickly. My condolences to everyone involved. To the Israelis, Ilan did not die in vain. Be proud of him, it's what he would want.

    Mark Follin?

    Maybe it's a pseudonym? A skydiver with a last name like Follin is almost too good to be true. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

  19. Ah. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the WFFC, where it's probably even more important. a) Stay away from the swoopers b) Follow the leader Basically, monkey see monkey do. If monkey not sure, monkey go away where he can't bump into people

  21. The serious swoopers at my home DZ do downwinders on their (full) loads all the time.

  23. How big is that canopy? Maybe it was a swoop/intentional downwinder? If there's nobody there and the track is clear, it's going to be as safe as downwinders get.
