    Even at Warp 9 on dilithium crystal power?

    How do you propose to make them quit hating us?

    I nominate Judge Judy. She don't take no crap from anyone!

    I wonder what Obama promised her in exchange, for removing the heat from his own ass.

    I doubt space-diving will catch on due to the enormous expense and extensive prerequisite skills. But I bet that regular 'ol tandem jumping gets a spike, as droves of curious people flock to drop zones to get a taste of what it must be like.

    Your chest strap looks rather loose. I'm not letting some freak hang vertical off of mine like that. Ack!

    Subscribe to "Parachutist" magazine. When it arrives in your mailbox each month, read it with glee. Your wife will realize that you still want to do this, and are still serious about it. After constant monthly reminders, maybe she'll soften her stance.

    It doesn't advertise well that you're selling computer software, and don't even know how to make a clicky-link to your web references... And you also get negative scores for using language like "create an abstract component to modelize the regulation mode...l" that nobody can understand. With the database stored on the internet instead of the source computer, what's to keep competitors from hacking into your database to find out who your customers are and what level of business you're doing?

    Buy a mechanical altimeter that does not depend upon batteries to function properly.

    So all skydivers with children should cease jumping immediately?

    So you're going to quit driving cars too? And you're going to put off your dream for 18 years, because of your wife's irrational fear. Wonderful. Turn in your man card. Join the bowling league.

    Is that CO2 gas, or that powder stuff? And what's involved in cleaning up the mess - do you have to take the engine apart?
  14. CarpeDiem3
    Is that something that we ordinary users can do?

    Jump anyway. And don't hide it from her. Just tell her you've dedicated your life to her and the kids, and it's time you did something for yourself. Then go out and do it. Are you going to spend the rest of your life letting her deny you the dreams that you have?

    Saw this Facebook post: http://www.facebook.com/SkydiveArizona/posts/10152186670965691 Skydive Arizona is offering a reward to 50 jump tickets to any person/s who can supply information that leads to the arrest of the person/s who were responsible for the vandalism of our aircraft on the evening of the 6th October and or early morning of the 7th October 2012 at Skydive Elsinore. Please contact Steve Hill (520) 251 0440 or steve(at)skydiveaz.com. Your details will be kept confidential. We appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thanks Skydive Arizona Management.What the heck happened to their aircraft that night?

    Someone dying during a skydive is still someone dying during a skydive. It's a bad thing regardless of whether it's a tandem passenger or an experienced jumper. We shouldn't downplay potential problems just because they only threaten experienced jumpers.

    Let's say that someone wanted to jump with a giant yellow Big Bird strapped to his chest. And someone told him that those flailing arms and legs might be a problem. And next he argued in rebuttal that no one has ever been hurt before jumping with a giant yellow Big Bird, therefore, it doesn't present a problem and should be perfectly safe. Would that be a valid argument in favor of everyone making Big Bird jumps? At one time, no one ever imagined that anyone could possibly fall out of a tandem harness. And everything went along fine for several decades, and tens of thousands of jumps. Did that mean that there was never any potential for a problem? No. Becaues then it happened. And again. And again. Do anything often enough for long enough, and something bad will happen because of it. Bottom line: If it provides no benefit to the jump, and isn't necessary to have, then there's no point in adding the risk, however small that might be.

    Those kinds of folks usually love to tout their free speech rights, but then they hate paying the consequences of said free speech. Can't have the first without the latter.

    Lines have half-hitched on reserve flaps. They could half-hitch on a hoodie. The only reaon it probably hasn't been heard of yet is that there are a lot more reserve deployments with reserve flaps then there are reserve deployments with hoodies.

    Looking for Oh. Thank you. I was imagining some kind of specialized parachute equipment...

    What's an "LF rigger"?

    Heck, turn some points inside that cloud.

    Viedo of a verbal exchange between Congressman Allen West and Nezar Hamze of CAIR, at a press conference. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=2CVK4c2qu3M You choose who won the point.
