    You should absolutely ignore some people in your user base. It is the smartest thing you can do.

    Jumper made a low hook turn at approx 100 feet. Jumper attempted to do a hook turn over the main boarding area and when he realized he was low, he attempted to recover but it was too late. Jumper was part of a 4 way team that came to Deland f

    There are people who have been using this site for a long time, who have sold gear several times over through the classifieds and have never made a post. I've also jumped with many people who have never posted to these forums but who still love the site and read it daily. Posting to the forums does not "make" you a Dropzone.com member. Registering does. That's it. There's much more to the site than just the forums. Snap out of it! Safe swoops Sangiro

    There's no posting requiement. There are many people who use this site who do not post to the forums. He has been a member for more than a year. Only requirement: You have to be a DZ.com member in good standing.

    Jumper was in an uneventful 3 way freefly, after opening and flying their canopy they made a sharp turn without altitude to recover. They struck the ground knees, chest, head. He was transported to the hospital where he was later declared to be brain dea

    Jumper died after impacting the ground without a functioning parachute. Was told that chute didn't fully open, canopy collapsed sending him into a violent spiral from which he never recovered. Other jumpers noticed he was in trouble at about 2000 ft.

    No it's not. Tom is an amazing ambassador for your sport, something that you guys seem to be in short supply of unfortunately. Safe swoops Sangiro

    Not to be trusted... the boy is a menace! Did he get the contraband I sent him from Europe? Safe swoops Sangiro

    Simply not true. The truth is you don't know who has been banned, simple as that. Your comment has no grounds in reallity - as is often the case. Safe swoops Sangiro

    Jeffrey, You are still posting in these forums because you sent me more emails than I can remember singing your own virtues and telling me that you're actually "to be trusted" last time I banned you. I'm starting to think that was my mistake. You're running the well dry. Carry on. Safe swoops Sangiro

    You've been PM'ing a moderator and you've been warned. I know what it's about so let me make sure you understand. There is no way for you to word a pedophile joke that will not get you banned. Let it go. Safe swoops Sangiro

    And this is exactly how one individual can spoil it for a lot of people. We'll do our best not to ban that IP. Safe swoops Sangiro

    It was a simple oversight. However, I seem to be having one bad experience after the other with ASC and the people associated with it. I will gladly remove ASC from my database alltogether. That will remove all possible confusion. Unlike the USPA, you do not become a member DZ here and I have no obligation to send a single person from my site to your DZ. You know what they say about pissing into the wind. Safe swoops Sangiro

    Experienced jump had line twists and lost altitude awareness. The speed at impact was slow enough it did not trigger the Cypres to fire. Further details are not known.

    This was a night jump. The jumper was an experienced skydiver, cameraman and AFF instructor. He was on the first night lift, jumping from 12000 ft. His canopy was seen to be flying under control. It then made a sharp low turn and he impacted with the

    Going home.

    sangiro replied to sangiro's topic in The Bonfire

    Heya all, I've been drifting "homeless" for most of the last 10 years and the time has come for me to go home. I'll be moving back to Africa on Sunday. I'll be in Cape Town on Monday, up to Namibia for 2 weeks, back down to Cape Town for a week and then over to Arizona for the Holiday Boogie. I'll be at at the PIA symposium in Florida in January. When all of that is done, towards the last week of January, I'll fly back and settle in Cape Town. I'll drop in as often as I can and keep you posted on where I am.

    Have you ever tried clicking on the little [-] right next to International? Complete customization of display is not that easy... but there's probably more you can do than you know. Look around a bit. For example... did you know if you have more than 100 posts you can shorten the descriptions under each forum? Search around a bit... Safe swoops Sangiro
