That does not necessarily equate to any damage to the canopy or its longevity. We don't know the definition of "hard opening." For me, a hard opening is when you go to gray and/or blow out a cell, and/or bottom skin and/or top skin and/or new lines start busting. What's important now is for him to contact PD, check out the situation, get resolution and get a couple of jumps to relieve the gear fear... and hopefully tell us what was wrong.

Why would he need a bigger slider? The Pulse is well known for sweet openings, for all sorts of body types. @1.03 under a 190, He's hardly out of the normal range. I see you've got en times my jump numbers. It's an honest question. My theory? PD's excellent, but not infallible. Someone might've sent it out, out of trim or not sewn correctly. I recognize it as an honest question. 1. Because it's happened before on more than one occasion (and with just about every manufacturer). 2. And, as you say... PD's excellent, but not infallible. Someone might've sent it out - but, with the wrong size slider. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Yep. Even did it in the original alien invasion movie War Of The Worlds. Wait!!! What if they watched the movie too and have learned to inoculate themselves? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Wouldn't need a fence, sir. Them aliens come from above. We'll need a whole lot of rednecks with shotguns to get organized into the "1st ET Defense Brigade." ETA: We're going to need a shoulder insignia. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

That's not a math question. You silly, the crew of the USS Enterprise has been proving there's life on other planets since the 60's. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Mark, in the future it would appreciated if you kept things on a more emotional than logical level. If we don't have the left vs. right arguments; why whatever would become of SC?

Doug, the breadth, depth and application f this article is unparallelled by any product research or review read before. Talk about "Peeling back the Layers." You've left no doubt's in the readers mind about the pros of each camera in a professional manner. From the skydiver perspective; can you go a little bit into the helmet design, safety features (quick release), drag the helmet created on your neck, etc.

From the makers of "Beavis & Butthead." I'm sure it's a comedy cult thing. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

"Hands free models enable consumers to wear a head set or a Bluetooth device that enables them to hold a conversation over a cell phone without needing to hold the headset in your hands. When adults or teens use cell phones while driving they become distracted and lose the ability to focus on the road. According to studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. There were 5,870 fatalities and at least 515,000 people injured in motor accidents during 2008 that were attributed to distracted driving."

You know how many heads up, well-respected skydivers have had mid-air collisions resulting in fatalities when they were 100% focused? Use your head; not your bluetooth.

No, I haven't. Do you recommend it? Can't recommend it. I didn't finish it. After about 30 minutes they've made the points in the article several times, but even on a "dumber" scale. Yours and the articles points are well taken and there are times I worry about society. There are other times when I see a child so fascinated with everything form the universe to a jelly fish and I think we'll be alright. As to this specific forum; while I may not always agree with you, Bill and Paul on some sociological points; I always listen and research the scientific points. Bill, for example made me research the hell out of global warming a few years ago. Scientifically, I cannot ignore the points made and the research behind it. I'm sure there are times you wish I were more open-mined as do I you. What's important is that I respect your backgrounds enough to give pause and to research. When we stop doing that; well then, the article makes the point. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
