Where you been? __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Dude in all honesty I don't think you should be posting this stuff with your profile as specific as it is... Not in terms of YOUR personal info, but you DO list a DZ there that may not appreciate this sort of "publicity" __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Yeah... Tail!!! Tail baby, tail!!! __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Yeah.... what about the TAIL?!? I tell you about the tail! Split-tail baby! Yeaaaaawww! Nothing like getting a nice piece o tail in the morning!!! At least that is what I've heard. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

OHHHH! Pie-er!!! I was thinking of a really friendly wharf or marina or something, with a really pleasant pier you could fish off of, where all the fishermen were nice and helped you bait your hook __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

this past thursday at the nut they had the gorilla turned on... I never knew that thing was hooked up to a motion sensor... went and got peanuts and the thing started moving and howling.... scared the crap out of me... couldn't fling for a couple days... __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Yeah, I agree. The whole point of this poll is basically to drum up support for a class action lawsuit or something. People in this country, and sadly in the skydiving world as well, need to take some logic and statistics classes and stuff so they will be able to spot "straw men" and "slippery slope" type arguments from a mile away. Overall, I think Legs means well, but his constant focus on the plight of the bionic skydiver and the herosim of Canadian Forces artillery is sad. They only had 105s for christs sakes! __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

where's the rest of 'em from last night? __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

When I feel negative, I just hook up my Sharper Image Ionic Breeze and all is well again.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fresh air __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

I am famous for this... unfortunately for Seb, he always seems to be around when I make these horrible sounds. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

I thought you meant Honolulu __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

technically I did not puke... I was dry heaving.... I think I drank: 2 beers 3-4 rum n cokes 1 shot of something I guess I AM a lightweight.... that does not seem to be in proportion to how I felt... whatevah __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

I am positively the most negative person I know. BAH!!!! __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Lizzie can drink me under the table where the fuck are these grass stains from????? __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

If someone is hashing out safety stows like that DURING packing... they need to get some refresher training... there is NO excuse for finding that in a rig after 120 days.... It takes 30 seconds on a zig zag machine to reinforce suspect stitching on those things.... edited to add: of course I must admit that I can not forsee all circumstances where it could get like that, but I would be pissed to find that.... __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Hey... got a question... I have always accepted the common wisdom that if you pull high (i.e. 10K AGL) AT TERMINAL, you will get slammed... I guess the theory is: thinner air = higher fall rate = greater deceleration = ouchy But part of me has always thought, "But shouldn't the theory be: thinner air = higher fall rate = greater deceleration, BUT this would be offset by the deceleration taking longer (since there is less air "stuff" hitting the deploying canopy than at a lower alt) = not much difference in perceived opening shock...." I guess my question is, why doesn't the lessened "wind resistance" make the opening longer and softer in the same manner that it makes you fall faster... The more I think about it, it really doesn't seem like there should be an appreciable diff at all. I would expect measurable (i.e. perceived) differences if you were taking a terminal opening at like 25K, but pulling only 7K or so higher than normal doesn't seem like it would make a diff.... that is , assuming that the "conventional" wisdom is correct... probably it's one of those "X increases by the cube of Z while Y increases by the square of Z" things.... __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?
