Thats what I was thinking. (Well, I was thinking something about falling asleep with your shoes on and not needing to worry about the field - but I 'm keeping my mouth shut.) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Maybe it was one of those deals where he had a streamer and then an entanglement and just had a wad of fabric above him slowing him down somewhat. (Shrugs) I dunno. How are you doing girl? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Who the hell is doing yours???? I pay $45.00 "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

My thinking is that I could be unconcious under the reserve so I want something big and slow, as far as two out, I've seen a biplane more than once. I don't know that the reserve was 60 square ft bigger than the main but the reserve was bigger in both instances and the brakes on neither canopy were released either time. The best thing to do is avoid a two out situation? My thinking on that has always been, if altitude permits, diconnct the rsl, turn it into a downplane and cut the main away. If they are flying stable, that is not a good idea, there is too much risk of entanglment. Also, if you have two out it is probably because you deployed your main too low. (If I found myself in that situation I would probably do what the professionals say and steer very gingerly with the canopy that is in front, which is most likely to be the main. And plf.) Also, my 250 reserve would be loaded 1.0 which is why I chose that size. That and the first rig I rented was set up that way. I wound up buying it and it is my backup / water rig. FYI, my opinion is that and I am by no means an expert. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I am glad I read this before anyone actually posted any. I don't want to go blind. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I jump a 190 main and a 250 reserve. Wing loading is not as signifigant as you get heavier. (People will flame me for that.) Reserves are usually F111, mains are usually ZP. (F111 breathes, ZP does not.) The glide ratio will be different. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Heeeey! "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I love it! Maybe I'll even buy some beer. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Um, in my state uninsured motorists pays for medical bills when someone doesn't have health insurance - collission pays for things like this. Comprehensive pays for "acts of God". (Accidents in general make rates go up.)

There is helicopter training on the airport as well. They listen to the radio quite well and aviod us accordingly. Like Billy said, one of the lifeflight guys is a jumper and he has us moon the other pilots at times depending on who is flying. Oh, having them on the airport has saved at least one jumper's life. Skydive Alabama is a member so if we need them it doesn't cost the jumper anything - something to think about. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I opened head down in a track and got an instant canopy, the stitches on both risers holding the extra cable for the cutaways was ripped halfway up the housing on both risers. My rigger re-stitched them and they are still there. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Why does this piss me off so much? Someone is smart enough to save themselves skydiving but they can't push the url button, put in the url and push the url button again? WTF????? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Alright Peanut, what did you do now? And what are you doing drinking on a Thursday? You are off Friday, aren't you? (What am I saying, you are "off" everyday. ) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Where I jump the price just went up to $23.00. The DZO said if we could convince the airport to give him free fuel then he would give us free jumps. Everyone call the airport manager and see how fast we can get kicked off. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I thinkl so, that picture in the middle, "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I like "Lucy's" self promotional adds. "If you have a product that adds extra inches for her enjoyment, we want to hear from you, Fred@xmradio.com" "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

To get or give a cold to McBeth - I can only dream. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I have almost 500 jumps and I am still scared every time. The more you do it the more relaxed you get about it. Fear is your friend.

I don't think you have told us enough, there are many ways to do it depending on conditions and what you are trying to measure exactly. I know you said it was dusty, is what you are measuring basically stationary? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

None of you are talking about Dolly Parton's breasts. Cheez. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330345,00.html "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

She is still gorgeous, even in her sixtys - I'd still do her. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

So we just have to bring our uniforms?

You get a t shirt with that, right? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

After reading this, I am of the opinion that I am never going to meet a girl anywhere - let alone convince her to have sex with me. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

Somebody ask Peanut if it is ok if I come this time. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
