BETO74

Is a hypothetical question, never talked about folding or any material characteristic. As long as you have a number you, you have a distance can divided to and infinite http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Also reminds me the question. Can you have infinite spaces on a finite space? Why? If you have a letter size paper, can you divided oon half? can you divided that half on half, can you keep going forever? http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Sorry same direction!! you know the train is going to crash http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

How about the two trains going on the same track opposite directions. the distance between the trains in 100 miles, and they travel at 100 miles per hour. A super bird goes from train A to train B touches it and comes back to train A touches and goes back to train B, the super bird travels at 150 miles per hour. How many trips the bird have made before the trains collide? 100MPH 100MPH -------------->

The Bent Prop in Eloy had a wall of shame at one time, for the people who lacked morals and were a disgrace skydiving. Judy ---------------------------------------------------------- I guess I won't be going to Eloy anytime soon. I don't wanna upset any potential buyier of my Raven ---------------------------------------------------------- ***You seem a little worried about the "list". Like I said before, I don't and won't ever own a gear store, gear company, or dz. ------------------------------------------------------------ Uff......I was very worry about that http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

As I see it Precision would be just fine if you represent them. As for the rest of us.... you should start that list so everybody that disagrees with you could never buy skydiving equipment ever and maybe move to another country were companies and persons have moral values so we don't have to ever fight for what we think is right or wrong http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

(you came to this irrational conclusion that nothing could go wrong unless the manufacturer was negligent.) Yep I have the irrational concept that if is NEGLIGENCE is WRONG. I really think we are talking about negligence here not a bad down wing landing under strong winds on a cactus tree which could be categorize as s**t hapens or hey my bad!!!! sorry. Yes for the 4th time sorry if I expect my reserved canopy to save my life in the event, I'm sorry if I expect my car breaks to work everytime. But I will prepare myself for the worse This reminds me the commercial on TV with a litle girl going straigh to a swiming pool, and the guy says" Try to explain her parents that you could not save her life because you were getting stone." http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

[Again, the amount of skydivers wanting/willing to sue is scary as hell. If I ran a gear store, or was a skydiving manufacter or DZO, I would start a list of all the skydivers who think its RIGHT to sue, and deny them any and all service. Luckily for all you who want to sue, I don't and won't.) ---------------------------------------------------------- Yep, a list of people willing to sue and denied them any rights seems more viable than try to do things right without negligence, there is a place in the world like that I think is CUBA http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Every one of us jumps tested equipment that cost money to develop, that chain should never be broken, that’s what made skydive safe to a point. Why do you think we pay almost $2000 is not just strings and fabric the same as a computer is not plastic and silicon. I really think that the System creates a safe environment. (NOT TALKING ABOUT FRIVOLOUS LAW SUITS) they will be other companies that will correct the ways they build canopies or equipment to make it safe and avoid lawsuits how do you think laser technology, CAD technology, wind tunnel etc reach the design of our canopies? I’m talking about negligence, which can be found in all aspects no only car crashes and medical malpractice. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

[My point is that shit happens to reserve canopies also. There is a risk of shit happening to my reserve when I need it most; that's one of the risks I accept for myself when I choose to put my rig on and jump out of an airplane.] ________________________________________________ I Agree, the same as drive a car or anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------- I don't expect any piece of my gear to operate as it was designed and tested at any time. I choose to jump out of airplanes. If I die or am seriously injured while skydiving - regardless of the circumstances - it was my fault because I made the choice to jump. --------------------------------------------------------- I don’t agree. I do expect a minimum performance of the product that may lead into save my life sometime down the road. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Yes I guess you could sue but I don’t think I’ll be negligence because it was not test or properly assembly, right ……… http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

It did not happened in this country, doctors let my sister inside for too long and the brain didn't get oxigen at some point which cause brain damage, long story. [Your folks never sued, why? why not? Was there negligence, was there malpractice? Or was the poor doc just out playing golf? ] All of the above. Long story Thanks for your concerned she pass away 12 yrs ago, she was the closes to an angel I ever known. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Let me explain myself better. If I buy a car I expect the brakes to work in case I need them, if I get into an accident because of a poorly design car you’re damn right I’ll sue the hell out that company. My sister in law is cripple and blind for life because of a car accident that happened 5 years ago, I took a while for my girlfriends family to prove that the company (a big auto brand) poorly design that SUV they got a settlement does that pay for a young life to live with limitations? I think not. I had a sister that was born with mental damage retardation because the doctor was playing golf at the time of my mother delivery my parents never sued or anything just deal with my sister doing operations after operations all over the world. If, (which by the way I also have a RAVEN reserve) I have something on my back design to save my life in the event of anything that could happened and have to use it (hope I don’t have to) respecting the standards (which I do) and fails yes I’ll sue. I bought the reserve canopy after a reseach of wich canopy will be the best in case I need it, in case s**t happens. We could apply the s**t factor to pretty much anything, that’s why the minimum standards exist. Why anybody has to absorbed or take responsibility for other person or company s**t. Let them think “ Oh we poorly design or built this product and now we have this law suit, oh well s**t happens!!!! I’m sure this is one in a million incident, At least hope so. I agree with SkydiveNFlorida ------------------------------------------------------ (“But, that is not the point i'm arguing here. The point i'm arguing is that until that is YOU layed up with 50 broken bones, a life that is forever changed, and a pile of bills that flood your mailbox everyday... don't tell me that you are sure you wouldn't sue. Because, until you are in said situation, you cannot be sure.”) ________________________________________________ And… I also pay for the extra money so companies can test and re-test and test another 100 times the product that in the event will save my life. Like a country singer says: I won’t break my back for a million bucks, I can’t take to my grave… http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Totally agree with you I just would like to add, what happens with the manufacture recommnedations and exceded the max loads for the canopy I'm sure the jury cover that part, is like taking a Jaguar off road and complain about why it broke down. I agree we are in a high risk sport and I'm 100% with taking responsability for that but what if the equipment that I bought to safe my life doesnt work properly under normal conditions is not just my responsability for putting my own life at risk. Just my two cts, flame on http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Those one too. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

I let you in on a hispanic tradition. Have 12 grapes at 12:00 o' clock tonight you're allow to make one wish per grape, they represent the 12 months of the year, ask for health, safe landings, lots of jumps, and anything you can think of. Best of lucks http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Feliz Ano Nuevo hope everybody have a happy new year, we leave all the bad thing behind and start from scratch lookin foward to make lots of jumps with the people I care about, take care .. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

.42 is Ok I use .3 to do free fly go to Diamond lens web page you can see the difference or click on the banner on top of this page way cool ind... they also show pictures I guess it depends what you want to do with it. Later http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

I agree with you. I had a girlfriend that try to commit suicide and went to therapy with her since I was her boyfriend, it was a very hard period in her life an for those around her. My prayers to her and her family and friends. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Something I filmed was confinscated by the DZO. When, How is it possible ? http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Totally describe my feeling, I been thinking about getting my gear and try for the first time I have 350 skydives and I don't feel ready, I have done a couple helicopter jumps to get the exit feeling, on the other hand is also hard to find a mentor, one of these days!!! try not to rush my base jump birth http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

I check that out. Thanks http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

A guy fron New Zeland made it custom for me I try to go to his web site and is down, the helmet is great very light and inexpensive $350 http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

Right...... so I don't need the toilet paper?

I posted the pictures of my helmet a while back, now here is the whole thing put it together. -Canon Rebel ti -28mm fixed lens .3 Diamond lens on Video getting a .45 soon - Stroboframe -Camera eye -Bite Switch -Helmet is Blade helmets like it cuz has the side mount and the angles on top for enough room for still camera reducing the risk of..... well you know what i don't like to mention it. I'm using this helmet mostly for RW formations a couple tamdems, I'm not a friend of ring sight but sometimes I think I need one. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
