The BSR is about deployment height but what is killing jumpers is cutaway height. Raising the main deployment does nothing if jumpers either don't change their EP hard decks or realize they're too low to cutaway.

Winner. I DO agree with points made above that having a "medical condition" has become a badge that many are now PROUD to wear. It makes one special, worthy of pity and attention because if it's a condition it isn't your fault, it was a cross you were forced to bear. But that being said, it's all about money. Once a medical condition has a name, medications can be invented to fix treat it and it can be coded to be claimed on insurance claims.

As despicable as that letter is, does it warrant police involvement? What Canadian laws did the content of that letter break? Seems like a slam dunk civil case but not criminal. With all the press this has gotten a lawyer/investigation firm would likely do it pro bono.

Can't execute minors in the US. The best we can hope for here is life without parole. Ah yes, cuz it's better to pay to keep them locked in a cage then to put them down like the animals they are. Scratch that, wouldn't want to insult animals like that. Subanimals? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

When I first read the article on Yahoo about it, thought they were just upset that it was in poor taste to say that about a President. Didn't even think the upset was over racism. If they had the masked Obama character eating fried chicken, watermelon, or walking like a monkey, that would be racist. Having a Presidential character doing president things (maybe a joke about Obamacare) and things that rodeo clowns do is not. Vaguely recall reading that this rodeo always had a President character that they'd make fun of. Has Obama said anything about it one way or the other?

Looks like verbal only. Which means a jumper could do a demo low, then sell out the S&TA by saying he/she was TOLD it was okay. "From Ed Scott: To allow those good reasons, the board motion allows Safety and Training Advisors to waive the BSR on a jump-specific basis. If there is a low ceiling and the airplane can’t get above 2,500 feet for low exits or accuracy jumps or if the same low ceiling threatens a demo or if the big-way attempts need a little more room at the bottom to ensure adequate separation, then the S&TA simply waives those specific jumps from the BSR. There is no required paperwork or time spent waiting on someone else’s approval. However, DZ-wide or season-long waivers are not the intent." top Or is something goes wrong, the S&TA could hose the jumper by denying that the waiver was given. Seems that since there's no paper trail, the USPA could be targeted. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Is the deployment height waiver recorded in any way or just verbal?

Hypothetical: The reason they did not go after the bartender was that not only was he buying the drinks, but getting them from the bar too. Their thinking is he was getting her drunk to sleep with her and after she turned him down or they had sex at the bar, he told her to go home. That said, still feel that this course of action is highly insulting and denigrating to women.

It's quite simple. The AAD manufacturers make AADs user configurable (with a one jump setting option or new permanent setting) certain range and put the new higher setting as the default. Those who always pull around 3 don't need to change it. If they just do a low jump occasionally they just use the one jump setting. Included in the instructions is how to set it lower (the current firing height) as well as the pros and cons of doing so. The USPA does not create a BSR, but does a PR campaign with the AAD manufacturers "Before you go and plan to pull low..." "Like pulling at 2? Here's what you gotta do."

That'd be fine by me if they let us truly self regulate. Our various orgs, USPA, PIA, etc. could decide on standards and methods of enforcing them. They'd also be able to change them if they felt updates were necessary. Or choose to have none. Caveat Emptor. The problem comes when a government agency is supposed to regulate something but doesn't enforce/update those regulations. This leads to them being ignored and gives people a false sense of security.

So what you're saying is that the government agency that's in charge of regulation is not enforcing the regulations and the companies are doing as they please. Sure sounds familiar, more false security from our government.

So, what you're saying is the death panels already existed when Palin predicted them, right? Now they are for everyone. The point of the article is that she did not lie. She was labeled unfairly. And with the government running them, the least of our concerns is being turned down for cost reasons.

I haven't and I likely never will. So what happens when two or more people think like you suggest and nobody pulls? Keep tracking and hope for a big pile of cardboard boxes?! Think of their breakoff and deployment heights like you think of your landing setup heights. Ideally you like to be at x height to do a y degree turn but have some flexibility. Below a certain altitude you can do a smaller turn and below that you just land straight in. My biggest concern with this rule is the lemming that deploys right at 2500 regardless of having clear airspace "so they don't get in trouble" and injures or kills two people.

I'm curious of the number of reserves that had their loops cut at or near terminal speeds that the reserve didn't fully deploy prior to impact.

Suspicious character - (American English) - A slang term occasionally used to denote a nigger wearing a hooded sweatshirt in a neighborhood where lots of white women live. You're so hung up on it just being a hoodie. What else is the person wearing? What color/design/style is their clothes? Are they wearing jewelry? Are they just walking down the street or ducking around houses? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

No, what he clearly meant, without your "spin", was that as a young man he, too, could have easily been profiled as "suspicious", based at least partly on racial appearance and being "out of place", while walking down the street. Note the bolded passage. If one dresses like a criminal, is it not unreasonable for people not to be suspicious until they interact with that person? It's within their right, but only escalates suspicion more and does nothing to defuse it. Can understand that certain races have received more suspicion than others, but if they ever do want it to stop, being civil will go a long way. Don't have to be polite, nice, or even answer any questions. And everyone should realize that clothing choices can and will stereotype you to strangers. It's sort of like when a group gets together for a peaceful protest and the police show up in riot gear. Starting a riot to spite them only proves their suspicion.

Yes. If someone dresses like a thug, they will be seen as suspicious, regardless of race. However if they are then at least civil when talked to, the suspicion is soon defused. OTOH if they have a chip on their shoulder and come back with attitude, things can quickly escalate. Don't want to be "profiled" as a thug? Don't dress/act like one.
