Umm did any of you read what happened? Having someone talk to someone isn't ratting/narcin' etc etc etc. They guy didn't do ANYTHING WRONG so he wasnt' getting in trouble he just got an explanation of what kind of trouble he would be causing if he did what he was thinking of doing. Just so happens the person was with the FAA and just so happens to be one of the MAIN people that got the friggin jet cleared to drop jumpers. Sounds like the right person to 'splain to the knucklehead why he shouldn't be thinking of doing what he was planning to do.. So please explain how thats ratting? You all seem to have this lemming mentallity..someone says rat and you cricle like a bunch of wannbe bad guys. Jumping off shit doesn't make you bad and spoutin off without reading makes you look silly. Now if Gary had gone to the FAA (which he didn't do, he saw Dixie who happens to work for the FAA) after the kid had jumped and actually filed a complaint then yeah tar and feather him right after you tar and feather the fucker that jumped... Otherwise stop using street terms that you have no clue what it really means.. Peace... MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

I'll answer it (again). If your putting someones lives at risk you can rest assured you better fix it or I'll find someone to fix it for you. I'm not skeered. The big talkers on here need to take the cotton out of their ears and put it in thier mouths. They haven't heard a word of what has been said. They heard FAA and where off and running. It is easier to hide behind/run with the pack then to stand on ones own convictions... MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

Yep I just say I'm geetin out low but manifest still calls it a hop-n-pop. I gave up trying to explain I am NOT making a hop n pop just a low altitude skydive since I'm takin' 12-15 before dumping. I don't put it in my log book as a hop-n-pop either unless it is a Hop-n-Pop. I try to make a true H&P every 5-6 times I go low just to keep the muscle memory and they are pretty cool in their own right MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

You talking to me? The verbage I used was in response to the silly childhood "your a RAT" BS. I chose to use words and phrases their minds would understand. As for common sense..Please explain. I would hope common sense would tell you that if someone was putting someone else's life in jeopardy and you know it, it is your responsibillity to do everything in your power to stop it. Don't believe me ask the guy sitting in Jail for the rest of his life that knew his buddies where going to blow up the trade center. He is guilty because he did nothing to stop it. So please explain m,y lack of respect, Manners well I will give you that one, kinda as the manners I displayed where once again aimed at the school yard ideology, comman sense come on...

I'm with you on this one Bill. Would rather go out on a wing and a prayer then ride a tin can into the dirt.. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.

I can think of a few things. This whole Rat thing is Bullshit. Let me say this if your risking peoples lifes and refuse to stop and I know it and refuse to do everything in my power to to stop it then I am as culpuable if someone dies or is seriously injured. This whole "we are family" thing ends when "you" risk someone else's life. Sure there is tons of petty shit that goes on but this whole teenage "blood in blood out" family bullshit is just that bullshit. Grow up. You fuck up and refuse to clean up then you get fucked up... It isn't rock science. Don't start no shit won't be no shit MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

If the person who's life they have taken charge of ends they are guilty of negligent Homicide i.e. MURDER. At least if I was the DA thats what I would charge them with. If someone I love or knew was injured while there life was in the hands of someone that was loaded.. Well waiver be damned..and trust me their life wouldn't be worth a plumb nickle in the Joint. Somethings in my life have changed but fuck with my family or my money it's your ass will never change.. This isn't a "go to another DZ problem" this is a stop this shit NOW problem. Turning tale and ignoring this if you KNOW it to be true, makes you as Guilty of Murder if some stoned TI hooks a tandem into the Tarmac and you did nothing to prevent it. And yes just talking to the DZO, ST&A and even the Reginal Director isn't enough if the shit doesn't stop. Step it up because the life you save just might be someone you know. Oh and to qualify myself....Lived the Life...Don't think prisons are for drug users and how can a goverment criminalize a Plant God Created? Been Clean since Feb 10 2002 and don't give a rats ass who gets loaded on what. Your right but fuck with someone elses rights you get to lose yours MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

Interesting Read. The Dynamics of the repsonses pro/con are divided pretty much how I would expect them to be with a few anomolies that I didn't expect. So let me see if I am right. For those that are pissed and calling Peek a Rat would it have been better if he went and got a couple of buddies and hog tied this punk and threw him in his tent for a couple hours to think about how he was about to fuck up the Convention for us skydivers and the Ballon Pilot if he bounced? Where I come from you fuck with mine i'm fucking you up right? At least thats the way we did it when I was 18... Guess what I'm 40 years old now and kicking someones ass got real old a long time ago. Gary thought the knucklehead needed a talking to as the kid didn't seem to have the smarts to listen to someone that has probably been jumping longer then he had been alive (I have no Idea how old the person was makign a general statement) Which also goes with most of the people yelling RAT! To be a Rat/Snitch etc has a different meaning to me. A rat has a vested intrest in turning someone in i.e. freedom to sell dope as long as they are turning 1-2 competing dealers in a month..So those yelling Rat...Grow up.. You gots no Idea what your talking about and frankly I think your yappin' to hear your lips flappin... MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

Ok I found what ya was talking about. No way they getting close to 2 miles where they are. Um Other then passing a Physical for a TI rating (which you have to do right?) what FAA certifications does Instructors have to get? Also this would be a flat out Lie if you consider Mesquite to be in the Las Vegas Area which you would have to do if you consider Jean to be in the area I sent them the following from their contact page Think I will get a response?

No worries Dave.

Dude I wasn't attacking you or anyone else why you take it so personal?? If your a paramedic/fireman/policeman etc and your looking for ICE on the phone then cool. Whats you states policy on that? Or is that just something you chose to do? As for the snopes it has to do with the internet bogus info which yourself has proved by saying it is NOT policy nor has it been taught/trained/required of emergency personel to look for it. I have MOM HOME and MOM CELL on my phone but most likely they are going to use my emergency contact info in my wallet which most likely will be intact where my phone might not be. I am in no way saying that someone shouldn't put ICE in there phone if they want to just the whole ICE thing was/is a hoax as to be SOP in the emergency profession.. Again I just clicked on your post wasn't attacking you so chill brother

http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/icephone.asp False. I do not want some ambulance driver looking at my phone for something listed as ICE when he should be trying to save my sorry ass from dying. List your Mom as MOM HOME/MOM CELL on your phone if someone needs to contact them but I in no way want some medical professional dicking with my phone when they should be saving me. Besides what if you already have ICE in your phone for the Guy that has the good shit He might be pissed when the cops call him MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

My Mother. She gave birth to 9 Kids.

SHHHH SQUEAK! Your messin' this up man. I am gonna have to listen to her whine even more now I hear what your saying and if she wants to be a cry baby and not get pied and is gonna be butt hurt over it etc etc then yeah you could consider it assualt as you said earlier.. BUT this is skydivin' it is part of it. I ain't been here but for 3 years but whats been passed down to me is its a right of passage so to speak. As Tall Guy Says it is our way of showing our love ;) If I knew someone was going to truly be pissed and take a swing/leave jumping over it then yeah I wouldn't pie them but probably wouldn't hang out and jump with such an uptight person either. It isn't like a Surprise that it is coming. I would think everyone knows whats coming long before they hit 100 MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

Yes it is for real. Last night driving back from the DZ she brought this up. I asked her who she thought she was. How was she so special that SHE got to choose whether ro not she got pied. I told her if she got 2 people with more then 500 jumps to tell; her that it was ok for HER to chose not to get pied then I would make sure she didn't get pied( Yeah right) She had the option to post this or I was gonna post a poll which wouldn't have been as Nice :) I keep telling her this is Skydiving not tiddlywinks MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

You would have to pay ME more then 16 to ride in a 182 to 12k! I am ready to get out at 5 and can barely unfold myself to get out at 9500 I can't imagine another 15 minutes (or more) to get to 12...

At least you have a Plan to keep yourself busy while waiting for the planet to swallow you up. The key thing that was mentioned is highly loaded reserve. That is the one thing that has never made any sense to me. I know people want cool tiny rigs but It doesn't make sense to me to have a sub 100' reserve or even a sub 150. I want my last chance to be the best chance. I don't need to be swoopin' my reserve. I would be comfortable in my abilites in keeping a "larger" reserve survivable with a tension not then a tiny pocket rocket reserve MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
