    Familiarization. Touching handles in freefall. Opening high and getting the feel of the canopy. Practice flairs. Find the stall point. Oh, and not landing in mud.

    Hang out, learn all about it, and you'll be ahead of the game when your day to skydive arrives.

    The only time the pilots would nromally wear their oxygen masks was if the cabin became unpressurized. The point of the quote is to emphasize that the smoke was so bad that the pilots had to use their emergency breathing equipment in a non-emergency situation. Aha! That makes sense. Thanks for putting that into the proper perspective.

    Actually, that would make a hell of a lot of sense for people with certain types of alcohol fueled anger issues. In that case they've probably already got a criminal record, and the background check will catch 'em. But along that line, why the fingerprints? Are they expecting pot smokers to be out committing crimes, and this will help catch them when they do? Is it fair to treat them like criminals, when they haven't actually done anything to deserve that yet?

    Good video, related to this crazy idea. Now imagine that bicyclist wearing a wing suit, and at top speed he jumps up from the bike, oriented horizontal to the ground, and inflates his wings. Poof! Like magic, he could transition from pedaling to flying. He could even use that forward speed to do a pop-up maneuver to gain some altitude above the bike. Who's going to be the first to try this? Anyone? Hello?...

    I think they said it that way so people know they just can't crack a window and air the place out. That would be "because" of a pressurized cabin, not "despite".

    News: "Medical Marijuana Users in Illinois to Forfeit Right to Bear Arms" Quote: "Illinois is allowing patients with over 41 medical conditions to legally smoke pot, but a new plan proposed by state officials will require them to give up their Second Amendment rights – the right to own a gun. They will also be fingerprinted, have a background check run on them, and pay $150 a year for the right to smoke up." Link: http://naturalsociety.com/medical-marijuana-users-will-forfeit-right-bear-arms/ So, if you had to choose between your guns and your pot, which would you keep? Hey, notice how the poll choices rhyme...

    Sacrificing $2 billion in sales... Hmm... Okay, what about removing wine and beer to fight alcoholism and drunk driving? How about candy and soda to fight obesity? Cosmetics tested by torturing animals? Paper products that kill trees? Do the right thing, CVS! As long as they still sell Chia pets, I'm okay.

    Yep, he's going to end up like Michael Jackson at the rate he's going. News quote: "The pilots, despite a pressurized cabin, were forced to wear their oxygen masks during the flight, so that they wouldn’t risk inhaling marijuana and failing any subsequent drug test, which would put their licenses at risk." Um, the pressurization has nothing to do with that. It's not like a pressurized cabin repels marijuana smoke...

    Is your pet "Chaos"? How do we vote? By clicking the heart icon?

    I ain't leaving. If something that drastic happened, it would be time to stay put and join a revolution to overturn it, by force if necessary, and return things back to the Constitution. And for those talking about the 2nd Amendment, THAT is why it's there.

    Quote: "the establishment of regional hubs focused on mitigating climate change... at seven locations across the country." How many billions is that going to cost us? Don't we already have regional USDA centers to help farmers?

    Someone probably said that about the Wright brothers too. I admire his spunk. Would you call that second set of wings "slats", or do they make it a biplane?

    I read your comment, imagined the summit of Everest in my mind, and just had a crazy idea pop into my head... What if you slid down the mountainside on your belly, geared-up and in wingsuit, like sliding down the face of a wave while body surfing. Could you reach enough speed that at some point you could lift your upper body and arms, and get some wind under your wings, thereby achieving lift-off and flight? By gosh, just think of it! You could take off like an airplane, go into freefall, proximity fly the terrain, and finally deploy and land under a parachute. This would open up many new possibilities as to where launches could be achieved. You would no longer need a cliff, but just a steep smooth surface. Use a boogie board, or mechanics creeper. I see someone trying this within the next year... Okay, crazy idea over.

    Quote: "Battery lasts for two months." Let's see... If the average person makes 100 jumps per year... And the average time between cut-away's is 500 jumps... That means that this device "might" be needed once every five years. And in that time, the batteries will need to be changed 30 times! I'm not sure it's worth it... Probably the device will just have dead batteries from lack of maintenance, and won't work when you finally need it.

    I've heard that San Marcos does a pretty big tandem business, so maybe they plan on siphoning off some of that for themselves...

    That's GOOD!

    Is he conscious and intentionally laying motionless? Or is he unconscious with all his muscles limp? If he's back-first, what are the positions of his arms and legs? Is his back arched? Are we talking about a jump from a motionless hot-air balloon, or an airplane with horizontal speed? Answer: It depends...

    If skydivers can't land there because of owls that live in the ground, then how come it's zoned agricultural which would allow tractors to till the soil over top of the owl's burrows? Seems to me the skydivers would do less damage than a giant tractor pulling a roto-tiller behind it. That's a good question, Truman! All owls in favor of the skydivers, say "Whoo".

    All over America, black men are now trying to figure out how to put this sound system in their Honda Accord's...

    Isn't this whole groundhog day thing really stupid? I mean, it's kind of like that "weather rock" on a string that you buy as a gag gift in a souvenir shop: If it's white, it's snowing; if it's wet, it's raining; if it's wiggling, it's windy. Back to the groundhog. If he sees his shadow, it's sunny; if he doesn't see his shadow, it's cloudy. We don't need a groundhog for that. We can just put a stick in the ground. Can you see the shadow of the stick? Yes or no - that's your forecast. Leave the darned groundhog alone and let him sleep in his burrow.
