    Dane, Don't think about it, do it. You will love it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Without pre-breathing you are going to altitude with nitrogen in you system. As pressure decreases this nitrogen can be released in to your blood stream in the form of bubbles. This can do anything from make your joints sore to kill you. It can come on fast or it can come on slow. Going above 18,000 without pre-breathing and a sealed mask is not only dangerous, it is foolish. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Bill, You seem to have all the right answers so I am going to let it go. But you might want to give some thought to why the military has the procedures they are using. Do you think it just to fill the pages in a lesson plan? Be Safe! Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Yes, your mouth and nose connect, but you can not bring in air or O2 through you mouth while you are holding a tube. 1 to 1.5 L flow is not enough to overcome the pressure of air coming in through you nose. If you made that many jumps from above 18000 msl with out pre-breathing you are just lucky. Even then, some people may have joint problems in the future. Thats not my opinion it just the facts of humans going to higher altitudes. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Skratch, I not only think USPA should take a long hard look at you proposals, but it would be in their,(ours) best interest to bring you in as a consultant. This is the second really great post I have seen this week. (right Hook) Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Jim, No one but you new the situation. We can all say we would to this or that but until you are the one with his ass on the line you can't say what you would do. You know your canopy and your abilities, sounds like you did the right thing. The jumpers sound like they were running their mouth to let everyone around know that they were jumpers too. To many jumpers do not understand that a demo in not just another skydive. I'll bet you dazzled the crowd. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I would like to add my congratulations to Joe. I jumped with him a bit when he lived in the ghetto. Do you think you are going stay with it? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I know a jumper in Ca. with over 7000 jumps, all with quick ejectors. They are like any other part of your rig, if you take care of them and pay attention they will give you years of service. The step through design used in most of todays rigs is there for ease of manufactuer only. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I don't get why you folks are so obsessed with that profile thing. Most of the info is stuff I just do not keep track of. I certainly don't want to maintain that stuff either. I can't even keep my own websites up to date. Jan, Shame on you! Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    200 years ago an idea was born. It has become what the founders had hoped for and more. With all its problems, and there are many, it stands above all other nations in the world. This place allows all of us to be what we are. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
