Three years ago this month, Doc was in the C-182 that crashed in Tulsa. She was ejected from the plane on impact. As she was exiting the pilot's door (sitting behind the pilot), the whole right side of her Z1 hit the door frame. She continued to bounce along the ground (next to the continuing crash) until both came to a stop. She broke several vertebrae and her foot. No head injuries. If she hadn't been wearing the helmet the entire right side of her face would have damaged, she would have had serious head injuries and she would have probably required reconstructive surgery. She doesn't wear it since the right side was trashed, but takes it with her to the DZ to show people why they should wear their helmet during takeoff. If you've ever heard flyangel2 go off on someone for not wearing their helmet; it pales in comparison to the thrashing and demonstrated helmet that Doc shows. And, God bless Mirage. When they heard about LifeFlite cutting her rig webbing up to get it off her... they rebuilt it for her for practically little more than shipping charges.

I agree with everything you've said. I stepped back from my orginal knee-jerk reaction of going to an S&TA or DZO and agreed with tdog also. We are all in agreement and saying the same thing about approaching her directly with the dilemma and sharing his concerns about _mostly_ her safety. We all know the risks we're taking, I know the risk I'm taking when I jump with someone with epilepsy or diabetes or sumpin. As a group, while we are somewhat dysfunctional; we are also the most tolerant group of socially-disconnected misfits.

Actually, that puts me about 8th on weight. It still surprises me that I can be standing next to someone who ways more than me; but folks will think I'm the bigger one (6'6" 240-250). I am sorry about your son. Given enough time to grieve and embrace the sadness for awhile; eventually you can attack the increasing weight. Take your time, bro... the sky's always here.

That's because you haven't seen it occur in freefall - while turning, which caused the spinnup, which caused them to kick another skydiver in the head, who was knocked out, no AAD (early 80's), who was on their back flailing, came to enough to pull their reserve, flare and land. When the seizured kickee got on the ground. The skydiver with seizures apologized and told everyone then. Upon hearing this; the skydiver, friend of mine, and recently discharged member of the 82nd Airborne who was knocked out - dropped his gear on the ground in front of the DZO and said, "I'm done - that's for sale." Now, in all fairness he'd just had a child about four month's previously and getting knocked out in freefall was a wake-up call (sorry about the pun); However, if the skydiver had disclosed this to him, he would have had a _choice_ as to make the jump with the other diver. He may have, he may not have; but he would have been informed. Finally, you can't tell me you haven't seen someone at this stage in their progression start moving towards larger formations and who hasn't seen one taken out by one's approach from to high of an angle of attack from 30' and wipe out the formation... 5 seconds of seizure was mentioned. How many feet is that in freefall? I agree with this, but would put a "before your next jump" clause on it. I'm all for individual freedoms and shit. I've jumped with folks with all kinds of afflictions; diabetes, cancer, African-American, epilepsy, bum tickers, missing limbs, etc. But, individual freedom means just that and when it may affect someone else's life; you have to respect their individual freedoms and give them the right to choose. And, in that vane, I agree with JP. If I still had a DZ and someone approached me with that - you're more than welcome to do solo HopNPops until you get on the meds and a doctor's clearance to drive at 120 mph. [ Please tell me you know that was a joke based on the other thread about African-Americans. ] Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

There's no moral dilemma here. You need to talk with your local S&TA - not only for her safety, but for those she's jumping with... What if you retained this knowledge and she took some skydivers out? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
