That's generally what happens to people who are summarily executed after capture: they die. Not that I'm shedding tears. Live by the sword, et al. I have to agree but its not the most auspicious way to begin a democracy. As much as I didn't like the Raïs, he was put down worse than any animal. The people who did that deserve no respect. They are not human. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Probably the same fate as Saddam. Buried in secret where nobody will know the location. I bet not. Why not? New government in control now. Why would they want his grave to become a shrine? OBL was killed by US soldiers, some will say he was a martyr of the capitalist devil. Ghadaffi was killed by his peers. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

they recommend to magnet-check all cutters older than june 08... riggers, do you perform the check for free ? do you charge an opening/reclosing of the rigs you have already packed yourself ? Do you charge a complete repack if you had not packed the reserve yourself ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I don't know if they give that speech in the ary, I was in Artillery The story behind the pic goes like this : No shit, there they were, thinking they were all going to die... September 80, DZ Yverdon, Switzerland. The Porter is loaded with 1st time jumpers (and an instructor), static-lined with their rounds (no breakaway possible on these rigs). 1st load after refuelling, the plane goes up. The 1st jumper gets out on command, jumps, and the unthinkable happens. The canopy gets caught in the tailwheel. The jumper is conscious, and understands he should not deploy his reserve. Quickly several options are thought out. The other jumpers can not jump due to the risk of collision or further entanglement. The canopy can not be reached from the plane (look at a Porter and measure the distance between the door and the tailwheel). The REGA is called and a helicopter is flown to the DZ. they take onboard a skydiving instructor with a couple of knives, and coordonate the flight to have the chopper and the plane flying in formation. The instructor is lowered (after a couple of unsuccessful tries) just above the entangled jumper. After a quick explanation, the risers are cut, and the jumper deploys his reserve. Everybody landed safely, both the plane and the helicopter had their fueltanks almost empty. On 20 January 1981 in Los Angeles (USA), pilot Andreas Haefele, hoist operator Adolf Rüfenacht and parachute instructor Pierre Jomini are named “Crew of the Year” in recognition of this astounding feat. Pierre JOmini doesn't skydive anymore, most of the jumpers in the plane came back later to do their jump. Pilatus since then added a protection to the tailwheel so that if that kind of event happened again, the canopy would slide and would not hang on the wheel. it even made it to The Australian newspapers scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

The historical background of the sport
piisfish replied to linnths's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Hi Lynn, found a cool link to some "historical background", well before the "sport" www.apf.asn.au/APF-Zone/APF-Information/History-of-the-APF/Early-History-of-Parachuting/default.aspx scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -
could this technology be used to avoid skydivers bouncing too hard ? ... Dip them into liquid nitrogen before exit... et voilà !
