    I don't think your line of thinking is unreasonable. The threat of a Cypres firing during a swoop was indentified several years ago, yet it took a fatality for people to really sit up and take notice. With freeflying become more popular by the day, and sport rigs getting smaller and smaller, it is, in my opinion, only a matter of time before something really bad happens.

    May I respectfully suggest that you speak for yourself and let the rest of us speak for ourselves and decide for ourselves what is relevant or not. For what it is worth, I think Mikkey's posts are, as always, well thought out, factual and appropriate.

    I suspect that John somehow knew hoped that his thread would come to this!

    You don't think it is sticky enough already?

    Even without injuries or advanced decomposition, their lack of coordination makes for an unsteady stride. Like they have lost their muscle memory?

    Indeed. Bear in mind that whiteys only make up around 12-15% of the population, and yes, that specific group is in the main fairly bilingual (Afrikaans & English).

    As I said earlier, that applies to the South Africans you are likely to meet. That depends on why you want to learn a new language. If you would like to do missionary work in rural Natal, knowing Zulu will be a distinct advantage. If you want to know what your new neighbours are saying about you when they hear about your escapades with sheep, then Afrikaans could come in handy

    That would be vleis (pronounced 'flace'), literally meaning meat! It is slang and not used much anymore.

    Chuck, FWIW, that would apply to the South Africans you (and Clay) are likely to meet. Some useless information: English is the first language of only about 9-10% of South Africans. Afrikaans is the first language of about 14%. Zulu and Xhosa speakers make up about 40%! English is the main language used in business, politics, the law etc, but the vast majority of folk in this country can not speak it properly, if at all!

    Is that with or without a bra?

    Even if adding weights did help this lass with her canopy flight, surely it would at the same time badly compromise her freefall fallrate (assuming she does any kind of relative work)?.

    Heh, tell that to the guys that use to jump rounds. At the risk of this seeming like a hijack:- A lot has been said about the spot. When I started, most of the student-reserves were rounds and we were taught to spot for the reserve, not the main. I'm curious if that doctrine is still taught today, with the majority of reserves being square? In other words, given that mains and reserves still tend to have different sizes and flight characteristics, should you be spotting for the reserve or the main?

    Or wearing a turbine, perhaps?

    Watch out there are people in here who will dismiss your sources as unreliable, Or they will insist on a link....

    I think the point they're raising is: What about the skydiver who didn't own their own rig, couldn't afford to rent one, and the DZ wouldn't provide them with one even though their kit store was full of hundreds of unused rigs and was about to be flooded? Isn't the standard reply "Go the next DZ..."?

    Until the instant they walk through the gate - then they somehow suddenly become 'a better person'?. Whatever... Good on you, Rob.

    Many ex-cons and former drug users have set up foundations, started rehab programs, engage in public speaking programs to help educate and deter others. All good things, in my opinion.
  23. Erroll
    You are not. In the thread about Receiving aid from foes a lot is said about not accepting help when offered. What Rob is trying to do here is a good thing, irrespective of everything else.

    I respond with nearly all who were there chose to stay. Excerpt from CNN :- Holding out Rescue workers say many holdouts have insisted on staying in their homes or makeshift residences rather than obey the mandatory evacuation order Nagin first put into effect on August 28, the day before Katrina crashed ashore. Some said they were concerned about their property being looted, while others were unaware of disaster's full extent, worried about their pets or concerned that conditions would be even worse in shelters. The city's deputy police chief, Warren Riley, said Monday the holdouts numbered in the thousands. (emphasis mine)

    Sounds like Clinton was involved all right....
