I dont like UPS either, and I WORK there. But the issue you have IS with Para Gear. UPS is merely the carrier in this situation. Para Gear had to create the shipping info (thats how it works, ask anyone in a shipping/reciving position). So, if its labled wrong = Para Gear, labled correctly = UPS fault. I wont use UPS either, unless Im forced. In regards to package bashing, yea I hear that it happens ( I have in no way ever jumped on, kicked, hit, and/or crushed a package at UPS ). But here are some points to ensure quality shipping: 1.use a strong box, not some crappy imitation of a box (if its flimsy, it will crush easy) and at no fault of the shipper. 2.Keep it under 50lbs. (heavy packages are tough to deal with and smash body parts, plus see 1. 3. filler, filler, filler. if your item flops around in a box then a. it will crush under a load, and b. is likely to be dropped when a loader tries to pick up and move it b/c of not being ready for the shift inside the box. and finally 4. use FedEx if all of the above fail. But seriously, Im sure that both have their respective issues. Just package it well, and YOU make sure the lable is correct and it will get there.... unharmed.

I usually steer clear of these type threads. That said, insert your whimsical, condesinding looks here. As I grow older (nearing a mere 28) I'm trying to find my opinion in politics, and society, and with that age, I seem to drift further to the left, yet cannot agree with some of what I hear. There are sooooo many great ideas AND arguments for both sides here, it seems its come to a mere battle of who can come up with the most supporting aruments. Does this not simplify our exsistence? Are we to be stuck in a rut of stagnant disillousion? Why can we not argue the bigger pictures? I dont really know. But if I want a gun, no matter what the make/model. I should be able to own it, legally. Am I willing to have a background check to see if I am unstable/violent/ or buyint massive (I cant quantify this one) amounts of arms? Yes. Do others derserve the right to know that there is a regulatory entity that oversees such things? Yes. I am not a "gun nut" by any standards. But I belive in my right to own, shoot, and kill w/ those weapons. Do I belive that IF I should ever have to do so in and event other than hunting, it would be questionable if I could even do it? Yes. But I belive Im not the norm. I would like to belive that if my live, or those if my "family" (those close to me), were in MORTAL danger I could defent them/myself. I belive the how big and the where of govonrment to be a fluid question. Differing eras and society call for reglation/deregulation. The masses, IMHO, are genrally cattle. Following the herd. Intrest groups can most times bend them to their will with the correct inputs. How many of you wish you could be just let alone, not forgoing common public works, (health, police, transportation, etc). I IMAGINE, a good part of you. I am willing to pay for what must be done, but never what the whims of others belive should be done. I hope this was not simple rambling. I gravitiate toward that. Good life to all.

I only think about sex every OTHER min! Skydiving-Sex, Sex-Skydiving = its ALL good. I do what I can to get the most of both. I will be in my prime Until I'm old enough to use viagra and a penis pump. Until then, the world is mine for the taking.....

I have no idea of who did the hooking up of said canopy... all I know is it was a PD rig, and it was backwards.

That helps.....I hear it can actually be sorta difficult to get things like line overs. They probably don't want a lineover on one of their demo canopies....might cause some damage. I think anything that won't likely damage the canopy is fair game, though.. Mike Last year a guy was demoing a PD rig and dumped high. We saw him flying it around for a while... and then he chopped it. We were like:'WTF'. It was hooked up backards! the rep was saying that was not possible, but he had video... and cussin a blue streak!
