I am sorry to hear that there has been a sudden rash of people being murdered using Samurai Swords. Surely that can be the only reason for such a ban. When killed with a Samurai Sword are victims usually found with stab wounds going straight through, limbs severed, torsos cut have way through or decapitated?

I'm not so sure that I want to fly on one those things.... There is an apparent lack of women that use them as indicted by photographic evidence. On long haul flights that this is intended for I would much rather have a nice woman to talk to than all the men that fly on the A380.

That's dangerous stick to skydiving Ever been a foot? I had two flats coming home on my son's pickup this Summer and I dropped it off at a nearby Tire store. I walked the 4 miles home in 108 degree weather down a main street in Tulsa. Not one person picked me up. What a bunch of weenies! Christian town ... yeah, right. They must have never read the story of the Good Samritan. Yea but looking at you might have sent off alarm bells.

You just need to get laid and make a skydive!!! You may not feel better after only one treatment, so repetition is important. I recommend a course of 10 treatments just to get started. So here's your home work. Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Get laid - Skydive Contact me once you've completed the first round of treatment and let me know your progress. More extreme measures can be prescribed "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Screw it, go jump. Money is always going to get spent somewhere - spend it on something you enjoy. If you really need a car buy something that'll get you to the dropzone and back but not much more. You can pick up something cheaper than $3000. Who knows you may make a few jumps and decide skydiving is not for you, but you'll never know until you try.

I looks great to me. Congratulations on your new gear! Now you're a really a skydiver. As for cleaning, unless you want the full-meal-deal, just use a damp sponge. Notice I said "damp" not "wet", let it dry in a shaded spot with good ventilation. The full-meal-deal is getting it washed, but that requires the main, reserve and AAD to be taken out. You might want to wait until your next repack is required and then talk with your rigger about it.

Cheap Alternative To Ballistics Gelatin Needed

Reminds me of a joke.... A farmer was in the bar bragging about his pig. "That animal saved my life twice," he said. "Once I fell into the river and he jumped in and dragged me to the bank. Another time my house caught on fire and he ran in and saved me, the wife and kids." The farmer passes around a picture of the miraculous animal. One of the guys notices the pig is missing a leg. "Which accident did the pig lose its leg in?" he asks. "Neither. An animal like that you don't eat all at once!"

An upload of the picture is required for us non-USPA jumpers in countries other than the USA.

According to the document only Javelins after Feb 2007 come standard with an RSL/Collins Lanyard. I am assuming that at some point having having an RSL on a Javelin was an option. If this is a correct assumption than I am not so sure that the following statement is true. If somebody has a Javelin that never had an RSL on it, I don't see that they are required to get one put on. Perhaps my assumption is wrong and all Javelins have always had an RSL on them. Can anyone clarify this? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I didn't see in the document where it referenced pilots flying loads. I know that in the States the pilot can be held responsible if a reserve is not in date and that pilots depend on manifest to make sure that they have good records on their jumpers so that no one is jumping a rig with an out-of-date reserve. How does this statement by Sunpath translate into someone (manifest/pilot) has to check to documentation to make sure a Master Rigger removed the RSL on a Javelin and keep records of this too? Sorry if I appear to be obtuse, but I need help understanding how this impacts pilots. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

You say that but I dont seem to be finding any available skydiver guys, at least none in my age range. The DZ is also kinda closed so that could a good explaination. Or maybe it's just me...... I understand anout the DZ being closed for the winter, I'm in Canada. Try being 50 and male.... not that many unattached female sydivers in my age range. So if I want to date, wuffos are really my only choice. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Matematically speaking this is a lot easier for women than for men as there are more men in our sport than women. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
