One more time for those of you that aren't paying attention. I follow Derek's train of thought here.. This is from another post. "It is difficult to believe that I have to get hurt or killed skydiving. I was much more likely to get injured when I was a full time instructor because i couldn't pick my days and had to do Tandems to pay the bills. Now, if I am tired, recovering from a cold, the weather isn't good, I can sit on the ground. I can call the shots. I know skydiving is a risk, and that knowledge helps keep me safe. I don't let my guard down. I maintain my gear w/ a vengance. I conciencesly and continually observe conditions and risk factors and make good judgement calls based on experience and common sense. I beleive that as long as I continue this vigilance I have a very small chance of being injured or killed skydiving. Flying in airplanes is not considered dangerous, but take a look at the NTSB's web site. There are 3-10 incidents/crashes everyday, mostly due to pilot error ( this catagory encompasses a lot of things like flying into weather they shouldn't have= bad decisions)or mistakes in maintenance. rarely does big airliner crash, because the pilots and crew are very well trained, fly well maintained aircraft, excersice good judgement (helped in part by company policy, and hindered by company policy in some cases, i'm sure) and plan their flight in detail, taking into account contigencies. is flying dangerous? It can be, if you do not do the things necessary to keep it safe. I believe it is the same thing in skydiving. Most of the little accidents I've seen, the jumper did not do at leat one of the 4 things that can make skydiving safe: pre-planning, good judgement, proper equipment, and special Training." Again.. I agree with Derek. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

Bill may be right.. I'm not really sure.. I quit using an RSL when I got off student status. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

Boy looking back at the thread it doesn't look like I'm the one that keeps coming back to this.. There was a point that was made regardless of the stats. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!
-
Yeagh,, You are better off not using an RSL... Just FYI.. I was told when I bought it not to use one.. Not by Jump Shack but by other jumpers.. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!
-
You aren't suppose to use an RSL with a Racer. That is a well known fact.. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

We aren't warring.. We are talking about Dale and his seatbelts.. lol Aren't you being argumentative by going BACK to the subject of being argumentative? lol Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

I hate the velcro.. But I'm sending it in tomorrow for the modification. It is definately comfortable as hell. And to prevent the pin from getting knocked loose simply pack it a little taller so the pin is more secure. Or adjust your closing loop. I haven't had any problems. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

Wasn't there something in there about a seat belt failure? Isn't that why his head hit the steering wheel?? Rhino Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

That's interesting.. I talked to Nancy at Jump Shack and they have been redesigned 3 times since they changed to tuck tabs. The new design doesn't have the problem. Rhino Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!

I could have sworn Dale modified his seat belt and it killed his ass.. He wasn't being safe at all. Had he not modified his VX60 to be more comfortable he might be standing here today. ????? Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!!
