    My bf & I will be going on the 30th for the first time... I will let you all know my progression as a newer jumper with little/no rw skills. I hope to be sitflying in there by the end of the session. sully, you should come out to Pahokee sometime. We're neighbors (I live in Plantation). Angela.

    So, at this point you'd buy the product, then wire it in and upload this newer software onto the alti? I'm not all that good with this stuff, so pardon my ignorance here. Then, they are going to be changing to a smaller ring on the handmount? Does anyone know when this change will be in effect? What will they do with all the unpurchased ones out there that don't have it if everyone wants the smaller one? Having small hands, i'd prefer the smaller ring. Thanks. Angela.

    Your dad is a skydiver and your nickname is "Mal". That'd leave you emotionally scarred. LMAO!! I had a friend named Arianne, I always liked that name. I also like the names Abigail, Marielle, & Catherine for a girl.. I think i'll leave boy names up to the father of my future children as i'm not really good with those. Angela.

    thanks it's funny too, me and vern decided on our first one in the plane, he was like "hey lets do a team landing" me, "180's or you want to try 270's" vern" 180's, you take the left side, i'll take the right" "'k". later Sweet! Nice pix, Missy! angela.

    Wow, AWESOME!!! I would get demos before buying a main. I have heard good things about the Pilot as well. I think it would serve you well to demo a couple of their canopies before choosing. You want something that is going to serve you for a while... not something you'll tire of in 2 months and sell. CONGRADS! Angela.

    Shit! If you insist on pieing me, please do it at the end of the day... and away from my gear. Preferrably, though, not at all .

    No, I wouldn't. But if I was withing the operating limitations and simply deployed it and it came apart and the manufacturer released a SB to fix what broke on the reserve, yes, I would sue. Derek I'd venture to say I would sue as well in this instance. I thought that this guy was within the manufacturers recommended guidlines for weight/speed/etc. ? Angela.

    Personally? It pisses me off because there's no way he can claim he didn't know it's dangerous....sorta like someone smoking all their lives, then their survivors sue the tobacco companies for billions. Surely he realized there was a reason for initialing those waivers 20-30 times at each new DZ he visited. Don We all know that driving a car is dangerous,... yet people & companies are sued everyday. Angela.

    Thanks for the correction, Jim. btw, i'm fully aware the dangers of skydiving. Personally, I think they are responsible. This shit is last resort... it should be tested, retested, retested... then tested another 100 times in diff condtions... until they are 110% confident it will indeed save a skydivers life, they shouldn't sell it as a reserve canopy. This is not a main we're talking about here. Also, this the kinda shit you have to expect when you go into selling products of this kind. I'm sure cypres would be sued if a skydiver screwed himself into the ground in headdown with his cypres on. But, that is not the point i'm arguing here. The point i'm arguing is that until that is YOU layed up with 50 broken bones, a life that is forever changed, and a pile of bills that flood your mailbox everyday... don't tell me that you are sure you wouldn't sue. Because, until you are in said situation, you cannot be sure. Angela.

    Ya know... if one of you guys are laid up with 50 broken bones because some manufacturer did a half ass job of attaching lines to a RESERVE (read: LAST RESORT) canopy... then if you can tell me you wouldn't sue, i'll believe it. Until then, you're all talking shit because you have no idea what you would do in that situation, you can only assume/speculate. As for you whoever is gonna go to this guys house.. wtf are you gonna do, eh? Is telling him to fuck off after he's been injured beyond repair going to make your day better? You guys amaze me, really. I'm not going to sit here and argue with any of you. Like I said, until you spend a day in the life of this guy, I don't wanna hear it. peace. Angela.

    Well, it isn't on me, but here's a pic of my rig... at least you can see the color:) Javelin TJN purchased used last year.

    How would he know that they knew about defects? And, how do we know they didn't? Angela
  14. SkydiveNFlorida
    oh yes.... almost 1/4 of the bottle is gone... I think I should stop soon Jennifer Nah... I think the only remedy is finishing that wine... of course, you may have consequences to deal with in the morning. You could always take some advil b4 bed I s'pose
  15. SkydiveNFlorida
    If there is a label that says it may mal, then how can you sue? Yes, we all know the risks, but that is a serious malfunction there... i'm not sure where I stand on this. Just glad to have my pd reserve I suppose. Angela.
  16. SkydiveNFlorida

    I was looking through old posts, and came across an incident which brought this post about... Anyhow, I have Slinks and I kill my slider but sometimes I neglect to pull it down behind me. I didn't realize the importance of this until I read that incident report. I thought other newbies might benefit from reading this post. I will definitely be pulling my slider down always from here on out. This sight has some really good info on it. Thanks to everyone who contributes. Angela.

    I would like to second the nomination for bkdice's avatar... I really like the black and white and the play of shadows in the pic:) For best butts, though... Dove wins 110%! Angela.

    Who is Good Charlotte? What is one of their major songs? Angela.
  25. SkydiveNFlorida
    That's some funny shit!! I gotta agree that Limp Bizkit sux. I have hated them from day 1. I used to like Creed, however, but then I realized that all of their songs sounded the same and it got boring for me. Haven't bothered listening to any of their new stuff so I can't judge. Metallica... well, I used to be a huge fan! I went to a concert down here for Live Shit Binge & Purge in 94'. The black album was the last of the music of theirs that I liked, tho, and it really wasn't as good as their previous stuff, either. Angela.
