LOL Admit it, you've never seen an actual alligator. Since alligators only run fast in straight lines, maybe running in a circle and screaming would be the best technique. *** ACTUALLY - I grew up in Bradenton FL & hung out in a bunch of rivers & lakes... saw plenty of alligators up close & personal . The zig-zag thing they taught us in elementary school, right after they told us to shuffle our feet in the ocean so to scare away sting rays. A circle would work, but you'd get no where. The trick to the zig-zag is to make it in about 10 ft incriments, so they have to turn to follow you, therefore slowing down. The tree thing... do not climb one as they will catch up to you before you can get your feet up 6 ft off the ground. It is true that alligators are non-aggressive; but, if they have the odd desire to chase you... it's better to know how to get away. I've actually seen this happen before. But when my friend finally arrived, the 15 or so people around all started screaming & running around - I think the alligator freaked out & went back down the hill to the Manatee river.

yes, but the set is never ending There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

If running away from an aligator, run in a zig-zag pattern. They run up to 35mph on land in a streight line. Also they can push themselves up a tree all the way to the tip of their tail... so don't climb a tree. Also, they only have about 5 lbs of pressure to open their mouths w/, but over 200 lbs of closing force. So if caught... hold it's mouth shut. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

that makes me feel good

Up @ Chicagoland Skydiving Ctr - we always need firewood!! For our huge bonfires we have almost every friday & certainly have every Saturday. Unfortunately - I can't really think of a way to get it from norther IN to Hinckley IL It shure would make for a smokin' great time. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

THAT'S HORRIBLE!! Thanks, but nothing else needs pointing out, Rhino reminded me of anything forgotten just fine in his thread. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

I've heard that birds can fly because their bones are very hollow/porus & therefore weigh very little. I wonder if there's any possibility of breading this into human bones? Eventually having a race of flying humans. One of my dz friends said, he thinks birds are reincarnated birds. Swoopers, soarers (is that a word), one's that take long slow flight, those that flock. Tandems are chickens & dz wuffos are penguins. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Um, no, not too often. Only when the adult in me desides to speak up. Plus, I hate confusing myself. And only one voice in my head rather than 2 can do that well enough. did you say - I think I need to have the SkyVan side door pointed out to me. just how corrupt are you blue? There is no can't.

I agree also, but only 48 hrs? There are many skydivers that leave work earlier on Friday & aren't back on a computer till Monday lunch... that's 76 hrs, at least. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

i don't think its "re-register" it's just "register" There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

However, people can still register & use totally generic info... that police officer was kind enough to give bunches of info, but I've seen so many users w/ nothing identifying in their profile. perhaps I'm just forgetting what I gave you when I registered & there is something there that will limit said "outsiders" from registering. Cause if not, than it simply makes it more difficult, but if someone really wants to see something - there's no real way to stop them from registering. Sorry for the ramble, having trouble forming complete sentences in a co-herent form today. edited to add: I do think it's a wonderful idea to limit viewing though. There is no can't.
