Generally the pull altitude goes down slightly through the AFF programme, or at least it did on mine. The HnP is a bit more nerve wracking than a full altitude jump although it needn't be. For example if I do a full height jump and pull at 3K I am doing c. 120 mph at pull time and am less than 15 secs from impact if I have a total. If I jump out at 3K I am around 20 seconds from impact so I actually have more time to deal with any issue. I did 5 static line jumps before AFF so I got over the fear of a 'low' exit that way. Just think logically, relax and enjoy. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I have not voted as I am not in the US but I wanted to throw something into the fray. As I write this nearly everyone has voted for yes and with various reasons - more efficient, less reliance on fossil fuels, enviromental benefits etc. etc. Why then do these reasons not apply for somewhere like Iran? They want to be able to build Nuclear power plants for the very reasons that America do that are quoted above, but this is vetoed by the international communty. Obviously there is a worry they will develop nuclear weapons if they have the technology which only us powerful reliable nations can have in order to keep control, but other than that why shouldn't these other countries also be allowed to share the upside of this technology - I mean, it's great if America doesn't use as much fossil fuel as they are the largest economy in the world but if every country other than the few we 'allow' these plants do then the damage is still done...

A mate of mine was doing a tandem in his boxers last weekend to raise money for charity and they had a line over and chop. Landed 2 miles from the DZ. It was his first jump. Thats what I call value for money. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

These are the sort of decisions you will make for yourself in time, but I really appreciate my audible. I have, very infrequently, heard it when I have not expected, i.e. when I have got out at 10k instead of 14K and been involved in the jump with my body clock expecting a few more seconds freefall. None of these devices is to be relied entirely upon but why not arm yourself with the best equipment you can. At the Aussie DZ I used to jump at freefliers were not allowed to jump WITHOUT audibles after a couple of low pulls and a two out situation. So buy one, it doesn't cost much and it is very useful, but bear in mind it is NOT a replacement for a wrist mounted alti. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Bump. I watched this last night and found it to be extremely thought provoking and well made. It is worth watching just to see the Al Jazeera point of view of the war in Iraq and, potentially, to see things from the other side.

Not sure to be honest as I have always booked in advance. There is a place in Leicester Square (near tube), where you can queue for tickets that day. You may even be able to turn up at the box office of the theatre and buy them - a little exploring may be in order. On http://www.londontheatrebookings.co.uk/ there is an option to book for the day of the show - if you compare prices you can get some reasonable deals. Enjoy! CJP Gods don't kill people.

by 'play' I assume you mean West End Musical. I am a big 'Les Miserables' fan and 'Phantom' is also good. 'We Will Rock You' is supposed to be good as are a number of the others with Mel Brooks 'Producers' meant to be awesome. You could however go and see a play. Brian Denehy is playing in 'Death of a Salesman' at the mo. Patrick Stewart is in 'A Life in the Theatre' and there are a few others out there too. Lots to choose from. CJP Gods don't kill people.

Tom Good to get a well written, intelligently thought out response. This has gone slightly further than I had ever expected. It started with me saying [without checking original post], "unfortunately two Aussie jumpers have died in the last year". This was in a discussion about rock fishing and BASE and the various dangers and I was, I thought, correcting the statement that one Aussie jumper had died last year - no other intention at all. I was refering to Slim & Jason FitzHerbert. This was disagreed with and I naively used the word 'pedantic' on an open forum. This then led to some of the worst abuse I have seen flying on dz.com. I understand how much these people have contributed to the sport, as much as a non BASE jumper can and I had met both of the jumpers named above on several occasions. I was in no way questioning that. I don't suppose I have a point other than to clarify why offering an opinion in this forum can lead to such abuse. I was trying to put the right statistics in for discussion. If that was out of place then please all accept my apoligies. I will leave this here. Be Safe. CJP Gods don't kill people.

Jesse is more qualified. Much more. I don't doubt that for a second. I don't understand however why it means I am not qualified to make a comment. I wrote that last year there were two high profile deaths of Aussie jumpers. Am I wrong? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Unfortunately you are wrong. Last year there were 2 high profile deaths of Aussie jumpers, plus two high profile accidents involving major hospital time. I bet more people rock fish than BASE and rock fishing isn't generally considered by the populous, however incorrectly, as illegal. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I'm with you both. I have no time for the guy except in this stance and how he played Paxman on the night of the election. Politics would be substantially more amusing with more people like him in it. Good on him for going to the states, he should take this all the way.
