Actually the average was a little longer than 4 minutes of freefall. Considering they got about two minutes of freefall at an exit altitude of 5,500 feet. If they had jumped from a normal altitude, I'm thinking it would have extended the length of the movie by about ten minutes. FallRate

I was going to point out the errors, but I guess they're obvious.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE PSYCHIATRICALLY CHALLENGED
FallRate replied to n2skdvn's topic in The Bonfire
I'm not sure about Christmas Carols, but I truly believe that any woman (or man) who knows all of the words to every song from "Grease", is damaged goods! FallRate -
There was an article in the recent Parachutist about a detachable D-bag and slider for high performance canopies. Essentially the idea is to increase the performance of the canopy for serious swoopers. I was thinking...Couldn't a jumper (in competition or whatever) use a direct-bag and static line to get rid of the drag from the d-bag and pilot chute, without having to deal with the complexities of the detachable system? Of course it doesn't deal with the slider, but that would seem to be much easier to deal with as a detachable item. FallRate

Is there a Cliff Notes version of this somewhere. I'm a little lost. FallRate

Does anyone have a transcript of this. I'm stuck in dial-up hell. FallRate

Not Looking!!! FallRate

Hmm, that's an original idea. Not a bad one either. FallRate

For 3 Grand an hour labor and expenses, I would think that they could get close enough to use a .22 LR which runs only a couple of cents. Hey, a savings is a savings, and it's not nearly so messy. FallRate

I have always enjoyed listening to Maya Angelou reciting her own poetry. She should still be alive...I hope. FallRate

What's the barometric pressure? Winds? Is this a milk-fed pumpkin? Carved? FallRate

OK, watched the game; definitely one hell of a game. One question: Who/What is the 12th man? FallRate

Salmon Rushdie is Indian. Oops, almost made a one-liner. Salmon Rushdie was born in India but lived for large part of his life in England, where I believe he still resides, but could definitely be wrong about that. He is Islamic, and his book The Satanic Verses caused the Ayotollah (of Iran) to put a price on his head as it was considered an insulting depiction of Muhommed, or something like that. FallRate

This is a shot in the dark, but I tend to think that it has a history in the Military. Just sounds like something a platoon might chant for reasons I can't begin to imagine. I forgot to add...it would tend to follow the sentiment of "break a leg", where one wishes the best but doesn't want to jinx the recipient. FallRate

Who holds the first USPA 3-D award...and who "bequeathed" it to this person. I would tend to think this is easy. FallRate

Ok, just finished watching the movie. One serious problem: Did anyone else notice that Stuart was sleeping with his Grandmother (of unknown degree) for about four years. Yeeuck!!!! FallRate

They don't use many FedEx trucks, but they use a boatload of FedEx planes. A little over a year ago, FedEx and the USPS signed a multi-billion dollar contract to ship USPS freight on FedEx planes. It was a huge addition to the number of flights nationwide, increasing the total number by about 50%. FallRate

I'm pretty sure that some amount of legislation has already been passed in the US concerning unwanted email advertisements...don't know much about it though, I'm not a lawyer: I have a soul. FallRate

1. Break into the room that has your stuff, light something on fire with your iron and claim you smelled smoke. 2. Have a ghost-writer do the self-eval. 3. Replace all of your clothing with perm-press. 4. Have your work faxed to you and drink the damn beer. 5. Start referring to your bird as McNugget...if that doesn't straighten its ass up (or at least keep it over the newspaper), consider getting a cat. 6. Yep, rain sucks. Deal. FallRate
