I was told the guys pulled their mains but were not under canopy until after the cypres fired... Low main pull... They should have had two out, but the reserve PC never came out. Told by whom? My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

This, or something close to it, is found in every owner's manual I have seen in the last 10 years. Either your memory is bad or you just didn't take time to read it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Above is a quote from the SB in question. If the cypres fired and the container failed to immediately open, how in the hell did they still have time to deploy their mains. Could this possibly be a case of low pull, 2 out and not enough drag to pull the reserve/freebag from a tight container? Sparky Hook, the last AD was issued in 1993 to RI.

Some people live lives that are vulnerable to the types of villains that are known to patrol these boards. Come to Chicago when it's warm & I'll jump with you if you doubt my integrity, or perhaps I'll look you up next time I'm in your vicinity, if you like. nathaniel I agree that what happened to PK was inexcusable. But if you are not doing something wrong in the first place the villain has no leverage. I give them my home address and tell them to bring it on.

That is really not recommended.. In fact I would give you odds 1000 to 1 it would be fatal Jeanne, I will guarantee he will not survive. The fastest ever to survive was 720 mph (.97 mach) and it shredded the rear seater. This guy landed without his helmet, boots, gloves and the leg zippers on his flightsuit. Now that had to be a ride.

Hey JP, Part of the problem is the ones you mentioned could give a shit less about someone else. To the ones you mentioned in your first paragraph its all about "me". They feel they should not have to earn anything, everything is their right. Fuck it, let Darwin have them. The deserve each other.

Hey Darlin, Will you buy this old man a beer. 77 days inside the wire at t Khe Shan, 1968.

No, getting older has not been a bitch. Growing older has been one hell of a wild ride, filled with strange and wonderful things to see and do. Sometimes I ate the bear and sometimes he ate me. But it never stopped me from dancing with the bear. I have been lucky, have taken a large bite out of life and can't wait to see what else I can stick my finger in. You can only hope to have as much fun getting from where you are to where I am. The memories, the friends and the 8' x 10's. Besides, growing old beats the hell out of the alternative. One day you will be there or be dead. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Not true, really. Cellphones were invented in 1947. Just because they weren't affordable until the 1980s doesn't mean that they weren't around. Like I said, there were no cell phones around. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I personally think that someone is a "skydiver" if they have control of their body in the sky. I normally think of people who have a B license but more towards a C license, are about at the stage where I think of them as a skydiver. I only have 27 jumps and I think I am someone who skydives. I think that tandems and AFF students are people who have skydived until they make it a regular thing. Of course this is only my opinion, and like anything on this forum, everyone has their own opinion on this and I respect others may think one jump wonders are skydivers. Before that magic number are they jumpers making jumps? And then that means only skydivers make skydives? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Chuck, Those are the same jokes he told me while we were sitting in a bar near Z-Hills during the world meet in 1981.

People over 35 should be dead. Here's why. According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, ... and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.) As children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors! We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. NO CELL PHONES!!!!! Unthinkable! We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms. We had friends! We went outside and found them. We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents? We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. Horrors! Tests were not adjusted for any reason. Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law. Imagine that! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. People under 30 are WIMPS Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
