"seller" does not want to refund my money
rwieder replied to jkdrummerboyee's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Send the rig to the manufacturer, have a new harness w/ articulated rings on it, it'll costs about $400.00 USD + S&H. Not the worst thing that'll ever happen to you this year. The seller isn't liable for your making a bad decision. Just get it fixed and go sky diving!! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
Seriously, seriously doubt it. I've outlived a lot of folks. And they ALL said the same things your saying, prior to going in under perfectly good canopies. Don't get me wrong, I've done some very ignorant things in my time, but just like some others, luck and the good Lord were looking out for me. Lets face it, flying over a forest, or a few trees isn't very smart....Period. (And you should know it.) Malfunction, it's a word...look it up. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Wow, I'm sure glad we're not in Japan. I hear "Harey Carey" is the way out to "Save Face" Member the Kamakazies? WW2? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
Travis Pastrana wins Nationwide Nascar series pole position

Personally I don't care about Internet sales tax. I know everything I've bought on the Internet, I've paid sales tax on, you? On another point if I may, I pay taxes on my pay check, EVERYTHING I buy, anywhere. I want to know when do the taxes stop. I'm personally sick and tired of paying tax, upon tax. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Travis Pastrana wins Nationwide Nascar series pole position
rwieder replied to BillyVance's topic in The Bonfire
The idiotacol Pastrana (Whom needs to return to "Open Wheel") wrecked himself eventually and took his own (Rousch-Fenway) car # 60 out in the Nationwide series. Travis hit the safer barrier, lucky for him, them concrete walls are hard as, well you know what. "DanRicky," got wrecked in the No. 34 (Turner-Scott Motor Sports) Nationwide car and wrecked her own (Stewart-Haas) No. 10 car in the last lap of the Talladega 500 in the Sprint Cup level, who by the way won the Daytona 500 pole.....Funny, I didn't see that post anywhere in here. Ladies, take notice! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
West Fertilzer explosion - 1 million dollar policy
rwieder replied to funjumper101's topic in Speakers Corner
State regulation says a facility like that cannot have more than 1,000# in inventory without notifying the County Official(s) and the ATF. This particular individual did not do either, never has during the duration of his business. Suspecions have it that meth heads were stealing 3-5 gallons of amonous hydrate ea. 24 hrs, and "Left some valves open. Well if that happened, God help them for not providing the proper security for this facility. The citizens of Texas WILL NOT have to pick up the bill for the extensive damage for this explosion. The man & wife team that have owned this fertilizer plant will probably be sued to death. Too bad, they're already in their 70's BUT they knew what they were doing was bad wrong, and they're not the only ones who knew it. It's a terrible blow, but that's how it goes. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
Well, Dave you know 302 jumps and swooping through the trees gives anyone "Carte Blanche" Let's be honest, we've dealt with people like this all our life, I don't think they'll ever go away, let alone be smart enough to consider other's welfare. Shame. It wouldn't do for me to be an S&TA. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Get a X-Fire 139. I fly a 149-169 & a 189. There really cool. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

When I was Jumping SDSL & SDH, My rigger made me one, I thought it was really cool, and it is, I still use it. I caught more grief over that slider keeper than I did for swooping the area where the RW jumpers were holding a business convention in the LZ. I've got several Jumpsuits with the doggone things already sewed on them. (Tony's) WTHeck? Drama, Drama, Drama...... -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

To be safe, wouldn't one want to get another scan done and get a Doctor's release? I'm just sayin' Good luck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -

I already know I won't shoot one, or be present while they are shot, so I didn't follow you URL. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Israel is bombing the tarnation out of Syria (Which I support) But I'm also concerned about fall out. You know good and well one way of the other, this is going to be our fault. I said in another post, "Syria's problems, are Syria's problems" If they want to screw around with Israel, HMPHH, "What Ye Reap, That Is Also What Ye Shall Sow" -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I won't pull the trigger on one of those things. Plus, it's just like a Walther, too ugly to even be seen with! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I certainly made the observation it was a "no wind day" when I watched the U-Tube video. I'm not blind. By looking t your profile, I just wanted to make sure YOU were aware they even existed. Like I said "Keep it up" Swoop trains for all I care, look cool, that's the main thing. I think you should swoop a Plane!! On a no wind day though. Whole point being, don't push your luck.

All that proves is you guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. Keep it up. There's a little thing called "rotors" that come off of trees that will collapse your canopy. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

What relation is the Curran to The Bible? (St. James Version) Old Testament is Gospel. New Testament is Law. Both Non-Applicable to Muslims. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Safer on lighter wing loading?...Velocity or Stiletto?
rwieder replied to devin2477's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Are you getting every ounce of performance out of your current canopy? If the answer is absolutely not, you don't have any business getting a Velocity & loading it up. What's the hurry anyway? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
Suicide rate in USA now higher than road deaths
rwieder replied to Skyrad's topic in Speakers Corner
I attribute most of the increase to the sagging economy. Being broke after having lived a fairly rich & prosporous life is more than a lot of people can bear. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The Dow broke 15K today, but I didn't make any money off it, ya'll? -
At what altitude do you go directly to the silver handle.
