    Please do that. It would be interesting to compare your instructor's thoughts with the video. Please don't include the DZ or instructor's name for now. Let's leave this as objective as possible. Owned by Remi #?

    There's something a bit odd about this that I can't figure out how to express. The video looks a lot more like the videos I've seen of AFF pre-course or practice jumps than of actual student AFF jumps. Owned by Remi #?

    There's the drama again. Indignation my ass. Think more about what you write and own up when you fuck up. Owned by Remi #?

    Yes, I did. Owned by Remi #?

    All I had to go on at the time was what you wrote. You've made it clear since then that you meant otherwise. Owned by Remi #?

    Answer the question then. What were you accused of? Or is this just another "I know you are but what am I" answer? Enough off topic posting for me, but looking forward to your answer. Owned by Remi #?

    What were you accused of doing and why should you or anyone else get all dramatic about it? Owned by Remi #?

    Good grief... that's sooooo drama queen. "I know you are, but what am I"? comes to mind. Owned by Remi #?

    Hmmm. I maybe favor RW a bit but I like them both Owned by Remi #?

    Very catchy. What would the RW one look like? Owned by Remi #?

    That's pretty close to what happened. It was a CRW wrap, though not intentional. A jumper cutaway while wrapped in another jumper's main then could not deploy a reserve because the wrapped canopy was in the way. The wrapped canopy caught enough air to make the landing survivable. It's one of the most amazing stories I've read on these forums. Story here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1718080 Owned by Remi #?

    As I stated, this was not intentional. Owned by Remi #?

    The person I'm thinking of cutaway and actually landed with someone else's main (and survived). Think about how that might be possible. Owned by Remi #?

    Hmmm... in the airplane or on the ground at high altitudes? The case I'm thinking of is a legitimate malfunction in the air, with standard gear. It came up years ago in another thread like this. I'll try to dig it up later. Owned by Remi #?

    Pssstttt, hey; If you want some really possibly interesting answers, ask who's had a cutaway, but not a reserve ride. I've read at least one person's experience with that here. (No, not an intentional, and not with special gear) Owned by Remi #?

    I know 2 people with over 5000 and no reserve rides. I know another with a first reserve ride at about 4000 but no cutaway until 5000. Me, I got 3 in under my first 400...and I wouldn't take one back or second guess any of them. Most of us ride the top of the bell curve, some of us slide down the hills. Owned by Remi #?

    So you think it's jackassery to drive a blind friend over to use an ATM? Or is it jackassery that your blind friend won't just hand over their ATM card and tell you their PIN because you drove them to the ATM? Or is jackassery to allow people to walk up to a drive-up ATM to use it? Or is it just jackassery for blind people to walk up to the ATM but it's okay for someone who can see? I "walk up" to the "drive-up" ATM across the parking lot from my office to get cash about once a week. Owned by Remi #?

    By this reasoning, should a child born to an unmarried single woman or to an unmarried couple be taken away and placed in foster care? It's not very different from my point of view. If they can find a way to justify not allowing single people and unmarried couples from fostering or adopting then the same rules should apply to everyone. Owned by Remi #?

    Umm... you've had a puddle next to the closet you keep you gear in for long enough that your gear is degraded and you haven't noticed it? You should have just left this private until your insurance agent wrote a check. You are soooo busted doing nothing more than ripping off your insurance for new gear here. Owned by Remi #?

    You didn't read it very carefully, did you? He didn't have a BLANK in the handgun. He THOUGHT he had a BLANK in the gun and he was WRONG. Responsible gun ownership at its best. Owned by Remi #?
