    The moral of the story is: look out the fucking door before you exit. This was not caused by a high speed skyvan, the pilot, the DZO, an ADD or any other bull shit. It was caused by skydivers not taking responsibility for their own actions. Dumb, dumb, dumb. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Most people are off the static line in 5 to 7 jumps. Your opinion does not make it a dinosaur method of learning to skydive. Are you sure of this or just guessing? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    ????????????? Thanks Dave. I agree with Phoenixipr on that statement.

    Who are you and what is your experence level? It would help if you fill out your profile. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Sounds like a huge Public Relations problem leading to a major credibility issue to me.

    Did you tell him that there is really no reason a pilot should crash an airplane except in an emergency but it does happen. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Well, thats all you need to hear, go for it. But remember some of the advice you got here when it turns to shit on you. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Now try speed skiing or swooping and lead with you face. I think you might find a difference. Just a guess thought. Let me know how it comes out. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Nothing in your post comes close to addressing the problem I am referring to. And no I did not ask you why you jump the rig you do. The OP did. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Well I guess we've gone through all you witty retorts on this subject.

    1995, a group of us did a series of hoop dives, both day and night, for Tom Sanders. He wanted some stock footage of them. SCSA - 329 NSCSA - 105 My jump career ended on 26 Feb. 2006 with a demo into a NASCAR race at Cal. Speedway.

    Just pick one. I learned out of D-18's and DC-3' wearing a jumpsuit with more material than a Hobbi Cat sail. Picked up lots of bad habit over the years. And thats my final word on the subject. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Then we will just have to disagree. I would hope that someone who is a position to test this "gut feeling" will do so in the near future. How many of the possible 48 to 72 tests are done with the use of a hand deploy PC to activate pack opening and how many are done with static line? Just something else to think about.

    That’s because they could not get the plane certified without it. I was talking with the owner of the company that makes the canopies for the Cirrus and they had 3 saves in one weekend. You mentioned that they are STC'd for Cessna 172 and 182. How many have you seen with a ballistic system installed? Actually an STC has been issued to the Cessna 150, 172 and 182. The Symphony 160 has only produced 15 planes so far and Diamond Jet won't have one to deliver until sometime in 2008. That puts us right back to the “real world”.

    I take when you say "res card" you are referring to the packing data card? Are you asking if I can or if I will? The answer to the first question is yes I can but the answer to the second question is no I won't. And you don't have to be a rigger to match up the various numbers on the components with what is on the PDC. But you do need to be able to read. And you don't have to call me Mr., Sir will do.

    Last year was 110 way record.

    John, They don't have enough for a record. I heard they were doing multi-point 96 ways. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You are blaming the person that sold you the rig because you did not check what it was you bought before you bought the damn thing. Attached is a partial list of the things I check when I do a repack or an inspection for a customer buying a rig. The information is not taken off the PDC it is confirmed from the individual components. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    How would like to have him at your DZ evey week end? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Probably if you could figure that 100 jumps X 10 years does not equal 812 jumps they would let you go without a coach. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    My first time in was a very humbling experience. I had spent a great many years learning how to things wrong and I was very good at it. It took some patient coaches and a few times in the tunnel before I came around and changed my ways. But I feel it made me a better flyer. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
