Thanks for reminding me of that. You are 100% correct! Dom

I don't mean this as a personal attack on you, so please don't take it that way.....but this is exactly what I am talking about. It is the additude that has been bred into jumpers over the last 10 years maybe. Wake up. It will happen. You will see it. It may be at your home DZ, or a far away boogie, but it will happen. Kid yourself if you want to. Because that is all you are doing....kidding yourself! Dom

vibes to you and your child. Saying a prayer now Dom

I ment it to be harsh. We as jumpers kinda of look over the fact. If you talk about death on the DZ you are told not to. Shhhhhh.....your gonna scare that student! Well they should be scared. If they can't handle the truth then this sport is not for them. I am tired of people (myself included) trying to gloss over it. If I just made 10 people quit jumping, that is 10 people that don't need to be in the sport and I may have saved them a lot of pain later on. I lost 3 people this weekend that I knew very well. 3 people that will never make me smile again. I knew it could happen to them and that is the only thing that keeps me from totally losing it. I keep thinking of that movie " A Few Good Men" "You can't handle the truth!!!!!" If people can't handle the truth, then go away and save yourselves the pain and losses you will have one day. If they can handle the truth, then live life and love life and your friends, because they may not be there tommorrow. Dom

I have had a few pm's today from low time jumpers that have just amazed me. In light of this weekends incidents they have just realized that they, you, I can die in this sport. Why would you think that you can't? Why would you think that you won't be the one? I can understand a student doing there 1st tandem not really thinking about that fact. They are reassured by overy person on the DZ that they are gonna be fine, they are gonna have the time of their lives. It will be great! You will remember this for the rest of your life. But if you are a regular jumper and don't think it will ever be you, or a close friend, or that hero you look up to. Here is a realty check. It can and will happen. You will know someone that died. You will see it. Even right now someone reading this will say "nope, not me!" Wake up you are lying to your self and your family and your wuffo friends. Old time jumpers know this, the people that pioneered our sport saw it much more then most of us ever had or will. They didn't lie to each other or wuffos. I think a big problem with this sport today is the people that think it won't be them. People that think an AAD will save them....you are stupid!!! People that think an RSL will save them....you are stupid. People that down size to fast.....you are stupid. People that think they will make it in this sport and never get smacked in the face by death in some way....you are stupid. If you are not thinking about the chance of death every time you step on a plane......you are stupid. We are doing what man was never ment to do and we love it. Just don't be stupid. Think of all the possibilities. Be as safe as possible. Use your AAD's, use your RSL's they do help, but they are not full proof. The only way to insure you won't die jumping is to never jump. PEOPLE, YOU CAN DIE IN THIS SPORT!!!!!!!! YOU WILL WATCH A FRIEND DIE ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL SEE A BLOODY MESS ON THE LANDING AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL SEE A FRIEND NEVER WALK AGAIN!!!!!!!!! IF YOU CAN'T EXCEPT THIS THEN GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIFE IS ROUGH, SKYDIVING IS EVEN ROUGHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dom

Im gonna be sick. That is two friends this weekend jumping and one drowned in the bath tub. Memorial day has a new meaning for me!!! I will always remember her poll dancing after the JFTC record. God Bless you Taz. My you rest in peace and warmth forever!!!!!! Dom

Shannon was without a doubt the craziest chick I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. This really hurts! To all of the Byron jumpers........ I love you all. You have lost more then the rest of us. Please know that others are feeling your pain and you are in my thoughts ALL OF YOU!!!! Shannon loved life and we could learn a thing or two from the way she lived. God bless you Shannon may you rest in peace. Heaven is a brighter place now. You are going to be missed by so many. You touched many lives!!! Tears and blessings to you all. Dom

I'll tell em,,,,, it was my boy Justin, and my other boy Mark Kirkby. Ever since Mark started listening to me, he has imporved so much. i think he has such potential. if only he could focus. Dom

Ro, You can do this. We know you have the flying skills. YOu have had those for a long time now. Canopy has been your "pain in the ass" from day one. You have Jonathon there to help and he will give you the information you need. You have to gain your own confidence. You will get passed this. Just BE CONFIDENT. FOr the record! Rosa is not a name dropper. She happens to be very good friends with JT and why shouldn't she be proud to have him coach her under canopy? BTFU Haters. IF she was really a name dropper, she would have bragged about how many hours of coached tunnel time she has with me! Is that an old picture of you and Steve? Dom

I am spending mine with the most beautiful and caring woman in the world. Even though my life sucks at times. I am truely a blessed man. Dom
