Hummmm, what's the title for that thread???? "Ever KICKED someone elses kid the hell out?" “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

I would just comment, don't depend on the jump leader to step outside and measure the wind speed. We are all responsible for our own safety & decisions. If winds are an issue, go evaluate them for yourself and tell the jump leader you need to stand down if that's the case.] I agree completely. I didn't try to put the blame on anyone but myself, I just tried to point out that without all the hard facts it's easy to make a stupid choice as this one really was. It was MY choice and I fucked up, end of story. Therefore I'm really careful as a jump leader when the winds start to increase, I tell my fellow jumpers about it and recommend the low experienced ones to sit a couple of loads out, as I read a quote "It’s better to be on the ground, wishing you were in the air. Than to be in the air, wishing you were on the ground" “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Nope. I'd stay in the plane. But if asked the samt thing 1 year ago I'd have jumped any way. This 'wisdom' comes from a weekend with really shitty weather and on the sunday we got a broken sky instead of a complete cloud cover as the days before. The wind was quite hard, later I was told it gusted up to 30-32 knots, but I didn't think it was to bad. BAD thinking. We did our jump and all was okay until I got my feet on the ground. A gust of wind actually got me airborn again flying backwards and I landed on my back 20 feet away... I was dragged 60 feet over the grass before I was able to collapse my chute. A horrible experience with a broken ego at the time. To be honest, if the jump leader would have bothered to step outside and meassure the wind speed to tell us the correct information BEFORE we took off I would have stayed on the ground. But a lesson learned without getting hurt physically. “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Ofcourse I have a cut away on my cam helmet. In fact this is required on camerahelmets in Sweden. Tested it on the ground for the same reason I yank out my reserve when I have it repacked, to get an idea of the ammount of force needed to cut it free. A cut away system on my helmet is for me as having a reserve parachute. I don't want to use it but when it saves my life then I'm f**ing grateful!! “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

I got myself a Mamba about 1½ years ago and I use it for all my jumping except camera. Its an awesome helmet that work well in any orientation and for any speed “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

You See A Skydiver In the Middle of O'Hare ... What Do you Do?

Why making it so complicated? The shortest prhase needed to get a skydiver's attention is CASE!!!!! But then you would have to buy him beer, when I think about it...

That's a NICE shot man!!!!!!

Exactly my point.... Although a different animal... But I can live with the pig analogy “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

...and all the women reading your post are mulling over how attractive that they consider the "cow" analogy. Yeah... I pretty much count on getting flamed for it “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Hmmmm, then you have to be filthy rich or.... Well I guess you can fill the blank *LOL* “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Ohhhh, another point..... Do you buy a car without a goooooood test run???? “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

You guys know that you don't have to buy a cow just to have a glass of milk, right??? “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Yeah... I’ve got that "you are just selfish" comment as well... My standard reply to that is "The most selfish act you can do is to get pregnant, your kid never asked you to bring him/her into this world" Then I elaborate a bit just to piss gasoline on the fire.... If there was a license requirement for having kids we should have way more people with driver license than with a child license..... But as it is now, any IDIOT can be knocked up / get somebody knocked up... But many IDOTS can't pass the exam for a driver license... How sick isn't that??? *turn around and walk away*..... “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

Well..... It MIGHT be equipment failure.. Then it's a different story... But I'll guess there will be reports about it... Human error or equipment issues..

AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY PROCEDUREs FOR SKYDIVING
mrwrong replied to DON321's topic in Safety and Training
Thanx It's just a classical example of to much thinking a little to fast from one individual. But if the JM would have followed procedure I wouldn't have a good story to tell “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once! -
AIRCRAFT EMERGENCY PROCEDUREs FOR SKYDIVING
mrwrong replied to DON321's topic in Safety and Training
Does it even exist such stupidity???? Well the main thing is this.... The pilot is always in charge while being in the aircraft, and the pilot alone decides if one should get the f**k out or not. We have an intercom for the jumpmaster - pilot communication and this is a really good solution. I was told a funny, (since all ended well), story from a couple of years before my jumping days begun. Our club had rented an AN-2 due to service on our regular aircraft. None of the jumpers were rally familiar with this type of aircraft. While ascending to jump altitude the engine suddenly went dead, and the pilot realized that he had forgot to turn the carburetor heater on and that was the reason. So he turned it on and restarted the engine. When he turned his head to tell that all was under control the entire 'load' was gone. As soon as the motor went silent the JM opened the door and gave the exit command. They had a hard time finding everybody who landed (far) out. The only one who didn't land out was the pilot This is a classical example that the pilot - JM communication is extremely important.

Strange.... My AV (NOD32) don't detect anything like that... And NOD32 is quite sensitive to pick up on those.... Is anybody else having these problems??
