Nightingale replied to pds's topic in Safety and Training
my AFF instructor told me about his impact with the tail end of the plane. It didn't knock him out, but it easily could have (or worse!) that story sold me on helmets and AADs. -
I believe the list of translation was: Oral Tradition Aramaic Latin Greek English/modern languages ever played telephone??

The vast majority of redneck accidents begin with the phrase "Hey! Hold my beer... EVERYBODY WATCH THIS!!!!!"

the canopies in #1 and #3 look like bat rays. I like #2, but I'd suggest putting some lines on the canopy. The separation makes it hard to tell what it is.

If my alti doesn't work, I'm going to do what I was told to and pull. I was just curious what folks at different experience levels do. It was more of a "what would you do" question rather than a "what should I do" because I already know what I'm supposed to do. And don't worry bout the pm! no biggie! hope everything is okay...

what do the three numbers each mean? as in 0:0:0
-
I will. I'm just curious as to what others do.

My instructors told me "if you have no alti, as a newbie, you need to pull." As I develop better altitude awareness, I may re-evaluate this, and it would also depend... if I knew I had other skydivers above me, pulling underneath them would be bad. I'd probably track out of the way first.

You're in freefall and discover your wrist alti is stopped at 12,000 feet. You know this isn't right. What do you do? I've allowed multiple answers in the poll... if you jump with an audible, also check whatever you would do if you didn't have an audible.

does anyone have a pic of someone in a santa costume in free fall? I searched and all I found was news articles or pics of santa landing.

Perris tandems land on the grass where everyone else lands. Students land in the student circle off to the south a bit. The grass is pretty much right in front of the restaurant/pool and school.

then you do it. I don't know how to do that stuff yet. I offered if he couldn't find someone better.

weather report says rain on saturday... hopefully weatherguy is wrong. crossing fingers...

I can redo it for you with some nicer colors and graphics, and some javascript rollover buttons/navbar if you like. would probably only take me a couple of hours. give me a better idea of what you're looking for and I'll know more. I can't do flash or anything too fancy yet, but I can make sure you have a nice looking, easy to navigate site with a few bells and whistles.

if you don't get any other volunteers, I could probably tweak it a bit for ya. www.nightingalesnest.net

I'm rather fond of "The road less traveled" by Frost. Holds true for a lot of us skydivers, I think... "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. " http://www.bartleby.com/119/1.html

I found DZ.com after I did my first tandem. I was looking for info and to meet people. I knew after that first jump that I was going to keep jumping.
