Altitude awareness, audible altis, device dependence, etc
nate_1979 replied to Orange1's topic in Safety and Training
This is exactly what I was thinking reading this thread... There are other concers with pulling immediately out the door, but it seems that you would have the LEAST risk of skydiver - skydiver impact if you pulled out the door, as long as he/she was solo. (Now you have to worry about unplanned high canopy flight and things like jump planes and shit) ... On a seperate note, I had my altimiter stick on one jump last year when I was solo and not yet licensed, two times looking at it and it said same altitude, did a quick look above, waved off, and dumped.. Think I was probably a bit higher than I planned, .. Feel that if in that situation again at that time I would not change my actions. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

FIgure I'd say that I think your crazy, I cant wait to get out BUT... If you decide to do it, again, I hope that things work out for you as an officer I am actually considering trying to go into the Army Warrent Officer program myself... I dunno, still undecided though FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Got myself a new camcorder here yesterday, pretty nice... Can get some decent deals on electronics out here, just gotta be careful to get the US compatible stuff.. Now I just gotta stop spending money so I can jump when i get home! hmm... home... not much longer FGF #??? I miss the sky...

I had my G-4 split bag sewed up to make a non-split bag... I have found it easier to bag without the split the few times that I've done it.. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

This place is getting expensive, I am buying way too much crap.. must stop.. wont be able to afford jumping... bad... It's all good though, with all the money I'm saving now that I QUIT SMOKING and all I'm so proud of myself.. Still waiting for some pictures, stuff like that from the endless summer boogie...

I just took my cat to the vet today and saw a cat who was coming out of the anesthetic from his declaw operation. I've never seen a cat wig out as bad before. The vet tech told me that they couldn't give him the pain medication after the surgery because he wouldn't let them near him. She went on to say how much pain the poor thing was in People who subject their cats to that are only doing that at the benefit of themselves. Don't have cats if you're going to declaw them. Jen Yea, it sucks, life sucks sometimes, even for a cat.. The cat will forget, and the cat will probably enjoy a very loving life as well his owners. It's all personal opinion.. I know why my parents declawed my cats, and I was / am OK with it.. I have seen cats cause massive damage, my parents have alot of very old furniture which a cat could destroy.. Sometimes it's just for the better... I can however see both sides of this discussion, I am an animal lover, I hate to see animals in pain, but it's just a part of life sometimes.. FGF #???

Nothing wrong with declawing cats,... My first cat, which lived to be over 18 years old, (really miss her), was declawed... My second cat was also declawed.. The one which lives with me now is not.. I can understand when people DO have this done, I do not feel that it is "Evil" or inhumane ... My first cat was an indoor / outdoor cat, she was able to come and go as she pleased.. She was *NOT* disabled in any way, and I remember having to pull her out of a tree MORE than once when she decided to get away from something on the ground.. Actuallly SAW her climb once, she had no problem with fronts declawed.. I love my cats, but do not see the issue with the declaw. Guess what, when I was born someone cut off the skin on the front of my dick, was that in humane? I'm sure it hurt like hell.. The cat really does not suffer, and they forget about it and live normal lives... Just like I did... FGF #??? I miss the sky...

Once again, I Agree with you Now for wrong forum and wrong post.... And may it be known, I am also a cat lover, and I believe that it is OK to declaw cats.. I've had some declawed, and some not..

I am *NOT* eager to die.. I dont wanna die any time soon.. I want to be able to get thousands more jumps if I choose to do so.. HOWEVER, If I was told that I would die *SOMEDAY* skydiving, I would not quit... This was an open ended question on the time frame, could be I die skydiving 20 years from now, I would quite frankly be OK with that... Now if I was told that I would die in my next 2 jumps, yes, I would probably quit, .. BUT that is NOT what was asked. YES, I feel that if I died skydiving I know that I would go in eather "out" or after having pulled every handle / string / whatever I could all the way to the ground trying to stay alive.. This does NOT make me eager to die, just shows that I have the desire to live life to it's fullest until my card is up.. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

I dont mean to say that I dont get excited, I have a perma-grin everytime I do something new, You should have seen me after my first attempted 7 way (5 of us got linked up) or after doing something as simple as a two person canonball exit, or after my cut away, .. I love this sport, and I definately get my kicks out of it... As for the "rush" that he was refering to, it just went away after about 15-20 jumps ... Still cant think of ANYTHING I'd rather be doing. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
