  1. AAhhhh young jedi... Wrong. Per Title 22 a paramedic out of county operates under the protocols established within his county where his medical control exists. Per Sac county protocols: (E is the money shot) III. POLICY – Off-Duty Provision of ALS Care: A. Accredited Sacramento County Paramedics are explicitly authorized to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) while off-duty. This includes the use of automatic and manual defibrillators where available. B. Nothing in this policy shall require a Sacramento County Accredited Paramedic to provide ALS off-duty. C. If an off-duty paramedic chooses to provide assistance to a patient already under the care of Sacramento County ALS personnel, it shall be at the request of, and coordinated by, the on-duty paramedic providing patient care. If only BLS Personnel are on scene, assistance may be provided only at the request of the incident commander. D. Overall patient care will remain the responsibility of the on-duty ALS personnel except, at the specific request of the on-duty paramedic responsible for patient care and with the concurrence of the off-duty paramedic. E. In the situation where no EMS personnel are in attendance, the off-duty paramedic may render BLS and ALS care within their capabilities and available equipment until arrival of on-duty ALS personnel. Transfer of patient care will then be made to the on-duty paramedic. Edited to add: I do conceed that permission is required to carry drugs. If they are there...you can use them...

  2. Not in California!!! You are held to "Standard of Care" Another area people have confused is Duty to act. You only have a duty to act if you identify yourself...got that star of life sticker on you car?

  3. See what happens? You become a Captain and you stop paying attention to protocols! Phil, we are now covered off duty as well as on. We can carry and forage for ALS supplies and operate within scope of practice off duty (we are never not under our medical control). That said, I have found (I have some experience) that the best thing you can do is assess and facilitate.

  4. I would do it. 30 min to 90 min...no problem. I waste that much time reading peoples opinions on all sorts of stupid shit. As our Canadian friend hotly relied I would be afraid, as always, of people applying statistics to the individual, I want the information so I would participate.

  7. Believe it or not... There is a company...Evergreen I believe, that is using a 747 as a retardent drop plane. Gotta love flying that! Diving a 747 into a forest fire...BASE isn't dangerous.

  8. What they said is true however... As long as you can get to your belly and be stable do what YOU want in the air. If you want to begin freeflying do it. Be smart about it and get someone with experience to help you. Experience is not a guy with 100 skydives BTW. You can do it all as long as your smart about it. What so many try to do is break skydiving into all these separate categories...it's bullshit. If you can't fly on your belly, back, feet, head and angles in between, your not a freeflier! If you rush to your feet, your belly work will still suck. Ask any freeflier and they will all tell you that they rushed to their head, got proficient and had to go back and work on their feet. If you think sitflying makes skydiving more interesting, go for it. Recognize that there are no shortcuts. Peace!

  11. I can see their point. I'm sure you were just fine I watched a video of a guy with a few years off earlier this year. He had like 10 years in sport previous. It was funny watching him bounce off the powerlines on final (funny as in he didn't get hurt). It's in all our best interest to make sure returning folks can still do it. Welcome back!!!!

  15. Those warnings have show to be valid. I don't believe it changes things. Are they stupid? Yes. Should we allow them to be slaughtered? No. The only reason for a military, police force, fire department is to protect its people. Even the stupid ones. Because they are in the middle east doesn't change the fact that they are Americans...simple, ignorant, short sighted, and those with children, negligent...but Americans none the less. We NEED to be seen protecting our own, we also need to be seen pounding flat anyone who would use Americans as bargaining chips...or object lessons of the hate (sometimes earned) they have for us.

  16. The world should fear to fuck with Americans...the only way to do that is to make them fear. Getting Americans out of trouble is a perfectly acceptable use of the military, you know, protecting us and all that shit. If Americans are in harms way we absolutely should get them out. We're not talking about someone who committed a crime who broke a reasonable law. If you don't think the government should be interested in the well being of its constituency...what do you think its purpose should be?

  17. We took out a plastic ball about the size of a baseball filled with water. It fell at freefall speeds, the problem wasn't fall rate, it was how erratic it would fly if it had any air in it at all. Is it the rigidity of the plastic that allowed it to fall at those speeds?

  21. Assume you're surrounded by idiots would be a good place to start. Give them more room. I jump at a place that has no set exit order. They will put tandems out first, put large freefly groups out before rw goups. You just have to give space...while people scream, "get the fuck out!". Smile and give the extra space.

  22. Yeah? Who's God? Is Sharia a valid cornerstone or just what we find in Levitical law, or are we talking about only the big 10? Culture, which religion can be a part, play a larger role in law. Science and compassion should be the cornerstone of Law...unless of course we really should burn witches at the stake, treat women like children, put to death those who commit adultery and cut folkes hands off for stealing.

  24. I couldn't agree more! The PMRC and Tippers work with them didn't mesh well with the protection of our civil liberties. It sounded more like the Christian Right crying about the lack of morality in America, "What about the children?" as a justification for dictating morality. I truely wish there was a viable third party...or rather the republicans truely being Lincoln's party. We need more libertarian and less democratic majoritism (see I read the links the consevatives put up). We fall in to the same trap as the rest of the country when we play these dumb ass one line games. "Gore said he created the internet"..."Clinton got a blowjob". Everyone is focused on the bullshit when at the same time Clinton basically let Tyson Foods pick the Secretary of Agriculture...no one cared...they were more interested in the psudo reality TV version of what was happening in the White House and how it was going to turn there childred in to blow job getting world leaders...I wanted to be a blow job getting world leader too, I just had no good role models I look forward to September Dude!

  25. Long winded perhaps, poorly expresed, maybe, but it is undeniable that the man was forward thinking and did much to help build one of our favorite playgrounds. I'm no more a democrat then I am a republican, in the choice between two bad choices I will choose the evil that provides me with more freedom. Bring back the republican party that tried to legalize weed (Newt 1984) and I'll vote for that evil. They are all full of shit and I love to watch evryone stick up for their team as if these folks give a shit about you and not the power your support provides. I threw that link out there because the facts go some ways towards supporting what Gore said. In 1988 the man was supporting the internet...the first http site went on line in 1991. the dude was definitely working towards the future. Davis has been good. Heal up and get back up! ETA?
