First jump: July 1973, Fort Benning GA First sport jump: September 1976 Turner Dropzone, Ft Devens, MA out of a UH-1H with the Trojan Sport Parachute Club. Motto: We got you covered. FJC cost: $15 and a case of beer upon completion of the first jump. And they were serious about the beer. Most of them were in the 10th SF Group. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

CNN had a shot from an airshow in England (Gloucestshire, Worcestershire, Taliashire?) that showed what looked like a Casa landing. During the roll out, the nose wheel collapsed and then caught fire. Closed the runway for awhile, but no one was hurt. Getting out up top still seems the best option. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

"And those guys are dead. D-E-D, dead!" Shaquille O'Neal, a graduate of LSU Geaux Tigers! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I think Clay eluded to this, also, but I bet it was a lot of input applied real fast. I have swung out pretty far on a Stilleto (loaded 1.6:1) with close to full toggle applied slowly. No line twists. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Did Tommy do Blues or his old stuff? Was there any alcohol involved with that picture? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Richard, That is an excellent point. What do people wear on the way to the rig? Do they wear wet or dry suits? How often do they drill? Have you ever seen the 9D5 dunker? Every naval aviator I have seen or met who has flown a helo that ended up in the water credits it with saving his life. Hopefully the companies involved aren't of the belief that, "Safety Is Job One, Unless It Costs Too Much." I am saddened for the loss. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I had a hard time reading this because the font was so small (the eyes are the second thing to go), but I finally got it. Bite me, Cowboy! A-5581 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Congratulations. May he bring you all the joy and happiness in the world. Why didn't you call him, MiniNac? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Just so you know, they're all sports bras to us guys. Those special nylon shorts you can get at the Aloha Flea market for $15 ("For you, two pair for $14!") or on Waikiki for $29.99. Whatever tee shirt best expresses my mood (Usually it's a beer.) And the cheapest pair of velcro running shoes I can find at Walmart. Covered by either my DaKine suit or my Tony suit. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Andi, I never got beer. See ya at Deland. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

To officially get English declared as your second language? Change your name to Anastia Beaverhousen? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Just heard on the radio that an individual was arrested for this crime. Let's hope it is the right person and at least one is off the streets. My heart goes out to the parents of this little girl. I don't know if I could go on if that was me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Found it here. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Did you tell them what a Big Way was, or let them decide for themselves? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Could come in handy at the end of a low carve, I think. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Heard on the radio that the Japanese have the death penalty. One of the things they don't do, is tell the individual when it will be carried out. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

This is a good link if you are at your desk from 9:00 to 11:00 AM EDST. You can listen to it live and they update the race every 30 seconds or so. Go Postal And your boss thinks you are listening to the radio Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Yeah, don't forget your cowboy boots. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I had a situation where I could not release my one brake because the loop mentioned above looped itself around the tab from my slink. The slink tab came out of the riser loop sometime during the opening when the slink rotated. I didn't look up to clear the loop, just grabbed the brakes and pulled down. 99% of the time, no problem. This time the loop latched on the tab and then locked on. I could fly in about 1/2 brakes no problem. I think if I had reached above the riser to the lines, I could have pulled slack in the lines with one hand then unwound the brake line with the other. That day, there were a lot of people in the air, so I didn't think that was a good idea. I landed using rear risers, rolled around on the ground for awhile, and walked in. No harm, no foul, and I learned something. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I thought I was agreeing with the original post, but trying to put it in an anecdotal form, which I usually find easier to grasp, possibly due to undetected brain damage at an earlier age. If I implied an endorsement for snap hook turns, then I failed to adequately present my case and I apologize. As an aside, from my experience, you will impress as many whuffos with a zero forward airspeed landing as a high speed swoop. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Don't forget to save $20 for your POPS membership. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I had someone tell me once to fly every flight like I had to explain my actions to a mishap analysis board. And if I was doing something I wouldn't feel comfortable telling them, maybe I shouldn't be doing it. Same principle, I think. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

If it is true, they have every right to print it. Whether it is pertinent to what we perceive to be the story at hand or not, is inconsequential. That is their chosen editorial style. If you don't like the story you have a number of options: 1. Letter to the Editor 2. Vote with your feet (Don't buy the rag, again and let them know it.) 3. Organize a boycott And least effective: Rant on a website they will never see. Personnally, I think the American public's ire is raised quickly, but their memory is short. Does anyone remember Flight 007? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I think West Point's team started in 1957, but you can check here: USMA Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Young lady, does your mother know of your plans? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
