  1. 4/29/2000 Lexington, MO Description: After a main malfunction, this jumper had a normal cutaway and reserve pull. On landing, he fell forward and his chest mount altimeter hit him in the center of his throat; the landing was also hard enough to chip the outside of his femer by his knee. The neck injury cut off his air supply and he suffocated. He was jumping an older 5-cell Swift Plus reserve which is rated for 210lbs. His exit weight was 209. It seems likely that he made a low turn before landing in order to have generated enough speed to cause these injuries. He landed somewhat near his main and freebag, so he may have been following those down. from skydivingfatalities.com Skydiving is for cool people only

  3. No! I've never heard of it! Are you sure you're not someone's lurking ex?! Skydiving is for cool people only
  4. YEAH! HOW 'BOUT THEM APPLES! I swear. Skydiving is for cool people only
  5. Indeed. To me, it sounds like the paraphrase of a jealous boyfriend. Skydiving is for cool people only
  6. I'm not saying it's right to hide things because you're afraid of his/her reaction. That's a crap relationship. I'm just saying that perhaps the guy in this situation is not a warm, loving bastion of openness to his girlfriend. It sounds like they've got problems, big ones. But spying on her e-mails is not the fix. Not everyone is that strong. There's more than one relationship out there built on the weak girl/controlling guy dynamic. I used to be in a couple. That's not to say either of them is a bad person. But it's worth examining. Skydiving is for cool people only
  7. Probably because she knows he'd overreact if she mentioned it at all. I've had boyfriends like that, where it's easier just to refrain from mentioning something to avoid drama. The whole "didn't want to hurt him" thing is key. That's a girl who's deathly afraid of pissing anyone off, her own boyfriend especially. Skydiving is for cool people only
  8. I would be crazy pissed if I had a boyfriend who read my private e-mail and became a jealous freak over my meeting an old friend. She had a life before you, you know. Just because she wants to talk over old times without a bored third party (you) looking at his watch and clearing his throat doesn't mean she wants to fuck this guy. Skydiving is for cool people only
  9. I got to thinking when I was pricing a suit last night. I was adding up the options for suit with a "low-price" company that's not in the U.S., and the bare-bones suit with the options I need (grippers and booties) came out to about $200 including shipping. I priced the same suit using an order form at Bev, and it came out to be just over $300. They weren't exactly comparable, because Bev automatically includes some stuff that you don't have to pay for as a separate option. I own a Tony suit and a Bev suit, and they're both beautifully made. I've never had a chance to look at an RW suit from another manufacturer up close. But, whenever I think of quality jumpsuits, I automatically think Bev or Tony. If I needed a serious suit, I don't think it would occur to me to go anywhere else. In fact, the only reason I was looking at this other company is because I need an inexpensive backup summer suit. Is that fair, though? Are Bev and Tony the only ones who make a quality product? Do I NEED cordura max-track booties for a casual belly suit that I'll use for coaching or fun jumping? Skydiving is for cool people only

  14. So I was looking at the "cheap jumpsuits" someone was advertising, and realized that what used to be Tad's jumpsuits in Australia is now Gravitator Airwear in Australia. Just FYI! Skydiving is for cool people only

    And for that reason alone I think it should be moved. Cheesecake and beefcake, as enjoyable as they may be, both belong in talkback. Skydiving is for cool people only

  22. Trimmed birds = dogs on a leash = keeping cats inside = fish in a tank. It's part of having a pet. Sorry it makes you sad. I hope you don't own a pet. Skydiving is for cool people only
  23. Not really. My birds are fully flighted, but clipping the wings of a pet bird actually will usually make for a happier pet. Look here for info. Skydiving is for cool people only
