Drunk yobos on pogo sticks trying to root roos?

You what??? Look Bullwinkle Boy, I am in my twenties, you are in your thirties. Now shouldn't you be off buying Horlicks and incontinence underpants?

Grey - I live in England... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Didn't I read in the Skydivemag a while back that they were going for a British women's big way attempt at Langar this summer? Something like a 50 way or bigger? Am I in the money?

I was sub-terminal so the opening was not hard at all. Bit of line twist but nothing major. I was under canopy at about '1 300. Low lobs are fun and I'll definitely keep doing them (unless England's weather undergoes a miraculous improvement), but I've definitely learnt from this experience.

There was no time to realize anything - the only thing going through my mind was Pull Pull Pull. I'd made my mistakes before I left the plane in choosing how to exit and what to do when I exited (geeking camera). When I was under canopy I realized how stupid I had been and when I got to the ground I spent some time on my own thinking about my attitude etc. I know what I did was stupid, I don't need anybody reading this to tell me that. Maybe that was just my wake-up call to realize that choices we make BEFORE we exit the plane can kill us. Will "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Before you look at the attachment please read this : This past weekend I made 11 jumps - 10 from '12 000 and 1 hop n pop. The hop n pop shouldn't have been a big deal because it was my 24th low lob of the year. The exit altitude was '2 100, but I have exited that low before, so that should be no big deal either. However complacency and cockiness made me make two mistakes : 1) Instead of exiting the aircraft from a poised student type exit, I crouched down and simply hopped out. 2) Instead of getting out and immediately presenting to the relative wind, I geeked the camera and gave V sign with BOTH hands (last guy out was filming exits). I dumped immediately but by then I had already started rolling on my back. Now please take a look at the attachment and tell me just how cool my two mistakes made me... I will continue to do hop n pops, but the thought of going head down with my bridle wrapped around my leg, trying to clear that mess before I have to go for silver/my cypres fires kinda scares me. I'd like to think that I have learnt from my mistake, because I know that this is not a forgiving sport and I might not get away with something this stupid again.

Do you guys still do your own editing when you do that many video jumps? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

One of her kids gets a saber split??? More senseless drunken violence and child abuse in a Jedi household.... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Jessica take off that strap-on light saber and untie me NOW!!!! "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Hey Jess, you really want me to tell you where to stick that light saber??? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Another thing, I think that Haydn Christiansen's acting career is going to go just as well as Mark Hamill's. BTW did it bother anybody else that the young Darth Vader gets called 'Annie'??? Somehow it just didn't seem right. I reckon the chick getting killed shortly after giving birth to the twin (Luke and Leia) will be what pushes 'Annie' to the Dark Side. Darth Vader is a freeflyer? Cool!!

Skydivemonkey is from the UK, I don't think he meant the USA when he asked that question. But I still doubt we'll ever see one of those here... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

In South Africa they used to give BASE jumpers discount on cable car trips up Table Mountain (ie cheap single tickets). I understand this was stopped after a (non-BASE) fatality. "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Yes, but the only way to avoid complacency is to follow safe practices all the time until they become habits. For example, after cocking my pilot chute I check it (both window and that it inflates), I then check the window twice more in the course of the pack job. I have made this a habit so that now a pack job just wouldn't feel *right* if I didn't do it. Make your safety practices into habits. "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Because of not having my facts straight and not thinking before posting I have deleted the original post. My apologies to Chris, Lisa and anybody who might have been offended. Will "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

***Chromeboy promptly gets shotgun shoved up his ass*** "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

I stand corrected, Chris. Shit, what is the total for skydiving fatalities in the last 2 weeks? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

No, its not that, its just that I keep her on a very tight leash... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Yeah, I agree with hookit. Everybody has to be docked for say at least 5 seconds? Do they all have to be head down? Will "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"
