My CO was injured in GWI helping to evacuate Israeli citizens from an apartment complex hit by a SCUD missle. A friend was hit with small arms fire in GWII helping to evacuate an Iraqi family caught in the crossfire during a small arms battle in April. I consider them both to be war heroes Owned by Remi #?

"Oh, God" kicked up a stir when it was released. I remember going to see it and having to "pick" my way through picketers. It was a horrible movie, though... so it never made much of an impact. Owned by Remi #?

Probably not, but I wouldn't think it was "safe" either. My inexperience probably makes me feel more fear than someone with a lot of jumps. Here's a question.... do you inspect your gear before you jump? Do you get gear checks?, practice EPs? Will you continue to do these things when you have a lot of experience? I sure feel that I will. I feel that they are necessary to keep me as safe as I can be and I really don't imagine getting that complacent. If driving to the DZ was more dangerous than skydiving, you'd be doing THIS: Walk to the garage.... On the way, visualize what you will do if someone pulls out in front of you Then imagine and practice your response if you have a tire blow out while you're on the freeway Get out to the car.. Check air pressure in the tires Are the brake lights working? Turn signals? Does the horn work? Check the webbing on the seat belt - fasteners clean and free of dirt? Ok... get in the car and start it up Seatbelt properly routed? Air bag turned on? Pull out of the driveway and hit the road. Left turn - check! Right turn - check! Brake test - check! Drive to the mall. Whew Getting close to the parking lot. Better pick out my spot now Owned by Remi #?

Ok, I lied, I won't shut up now. Isn't this the same as saying that you have a pretty good chance of getting killed every time you get in your car? I drive about 50,000 miles a year for work and I've never felt the instinctual fear I feel when skydiving. Am I just not getting it? Is instinct just tricking me? Owned by Remi #?

Ok, thanks. Umm.... I didn't think there would be actual DZ websites that said that driving was more dangerous. I'm still not sure I believe it, though. I'll shut up now. Owned by Remi #?

These aren't DZ websites..... and it still feels wrong. Just wrong. Edited just because I can. Billvon - I'm not trying to argue. I just fail to understand the logic behing that statement. Owned by Remi #?

http://www.robesonian.com/articles/2004/02/10/news/news/story01.txt Now please... I know I have jack sh%t experience... but the first thing I thought when I read this was that I hope that he didn't really say "Most people don't realize it's more dangerous to drive to the drop zone than it is to jump out of a plane." Edited because I always edit: I don't mean to disrespect this guy... I hope the press made this up. Owned by Remi #?

Electromagnets are a great idea but where would you put all those batteries? Maybe a modified belt? I think that metal links with exploding bolts would be much better. Owned by Remi #?
