You're missing an elipse. The rules state . . . . Ahhh, but there is a parentheses there so would the elipsis go before or after?

Well, actually, many will tell you that any use of ellipsis whatsoever shows a general lack of intellect.... It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

....if they are used properly, they can have a great impact. 3 is for a continuation inside a sentance, possibly to indicate a distinct pause. "John said he was a great...and then he left." 4 are used to continue and/or end a statement, asking the reader to think on their own. ....and then Jane unzipped John's pants...."

Don't get me wrong, I still tell people the only way to explain what it's like to skydive is to do it, but I make sure they know exactly what they are getting into. Also, once on the plane, I keep my mouth shut. This is not the place to have a newbie freak out. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Yep, that's better. You have moved it over to the perceptions of others, instead of it looking like you think it isn't that dangerous. Yep, lots better. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

It's all in the representation. I'm sure I've scared away more than I've brought to this sport. How? By being honest. A good friend of mine repeated over and over how he wanted to jump, since I had soooo much fun doing it. I sat him down and had a good, long talk. I basically told him the ins and outs of the sport, and made sure I stressed to him the fact that you can do everything right and still die. He countered that with the AAD arguement (he lurks here, and reads alot on the sport). I prctically had to beat it into his skull that having an automatic opener on your reserve at best might save your life (if it works at all) and at worst (when it works) might allow your family to have an open casket funeral. When he finally understood that there was no way he could be sure it was safe, he decided that watching me from the ground was plenty good for him. How many people are that bluntly honest with newbies, students, whuffos, ect? Not many that I've seen. Sure, the DZO's put the blurb about dying in the training and on the waiver, but how many take the time to make sure the student/whuffo fully understands? It's your life, live it!

Thank you! You got my point, even if you don't realize it! Implies, by a skydiver, that the sport isn't as dangerous as most people think it is. I feel it's just the opposite. The sport is more dangerous that most whuffos and many skydivers think it is. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

And it's more dangerous that a good chunk of the newbies think it is. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Please O please tell me that was a troll line. You can underestimate the danger of many, many things but if you underestimate the dangers involved in skydiving just once...well...I'll try and make it for the ash dive. It's your life, live it!
