Thats only for the lay person CPR, I believe the family and friends version. The healthcare provider version still has it all, and is the preferred way. They just diddnt want bystanders with no body substance isolation materials to do nothing at all, when at least compressions is an effort worth doing. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

That weight rating assumes no compromises of the material, and will always fail at the weakest point. Grommet holes, excessive stitching, heat, uv, being bent or folded around an object, contaminants all play a part into how and where it will fail. There are people here that have been involved in extensive gear testing and will chime in for sure. I would be interested to know if new and used risers tend to break at the same points historically.

NFPA is not a law it's just an association. States or the local AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) usually the local fire department have to adopt the codes to make them legally binding. So saying doing anything against NFPA is illegal is subject to the area. Here in Louisiana at my department the only thing NFPA related are the life safety and building codes. We try to follow other codes such as hearing protection, safety vests, truck and station design, and gear and air pack programs, but it's on our own proactive means not by law.

Thanks for the reply. Ive only been inside during a hot fuel once, and I'm not sure how we even got in that situation, usually we wait outside. This gives you plenty of time to sort out the loading order and when fueling is done, everyone is ready to hop on board fast enough. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Where did you find that it was against NFPA? NFPA standard for aircraft fueling services 407 section 5.11.1 says it's allowed as long as one person trained in evacuation for that plane, and a clear egress out is present then it's allowed.

I'm not saying it's not a big deal to hot fuel, if you have the choice I would opt not to while the plane is occupied. One thing some people don't realize is jet a is safer from a catching on fire point of view than gas. It is true once lit it puts off more btus then gas, but harder to reach the fire point. The autoignition temp of jet a is 410F. The temp it will burst into flames if mixed with air at the proper ratio between LEL.5% to a UEL of 5%. The flashnpoint is around 125F but will not stay burning usually only flash. I could not find a fire point for jet a. It's the temperature in which it will flash and continue to give off enough vapors to burn. Gasoline will burn at -46F, clearly ready to go most of the time with no heating involved. My question to you is do you remove everyone from your car when at the gas station? Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

U.S. Parachute Team ~ Any Funding Idea$ ?
Anvilbrother replied to airtwardo's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Sorry im coming back to this discussion late since I was never directly replied to I never got an email. Dont want to turn this into a speakers corner post, and I would gladly accept any corrections without being slammed for not being informed. There are a few reasons I would rather be able to choose on my own, and not through a pre set up "donation" via my uspa membership, or forced on my dropzones, etc. Ive been a member of uspa for 8 years, and have gathered my own sense of what im "getting" from USPA. Like you said my position might be my own fault for the way I think, or could be on USPA for not informing and marketing themselves like they should. I am grateful for the SIM, and Instructor program they support, the times they helped with the FAA and parachutist used to be ok, but other than that the only reason I still have a membership is because most dropzones and boogies require you to have it. I have seen many instances where USPA did not step up to the plate to help dropzones operating on fed funded airports. They seemed to either give up fighting or ACCEPT the skyride marketing scheme. There are reports of uspa officials involved in dropzones that blatantly violate items in the sim/FAA rules. I dont know anything about how the US team is formed, members picked, what they do, when they do it. Other than it being mentioned here I never see, nationals, or any other competition in the news. You see more about base jumping and the powered wing flying with the jets than you do anything about skydiving, and those are from 2 companies. Bretling, and red bull if I spelled the first correctly. Seems like if getting the skydiving word out by funding a us team its not working. NOT SAYING THIS IS THE CASE, but without any inside knowledge.... Any person that hands over their hard earned money has to wonder if things like this are just like a union, you pay them dues with promises of grandeur and in the end its just a good old boy network of the same top officials, and team members who are out there jumping on your dollar, without a positive return on your investment. A list of actual positive results and financial details for the sport would be great ie, mentioned on CBS, NBC, picked up coke sponsorship, team members each received this amount to jump on. I would rather support my own local 4-8 way teams, swoop competitors, at least I know their own personal sacrifices, and benefits that would come from my doing so. EDIT. Typed that first part hastily while my relief stared at me to get to his computer. My issue is with USPA, and not any team member as I dont even know the name of a single person. I guess when it comes down to it, how many of you can answer. Who? Who are the team members, and USPA personnel responsible for managing it all What? What do they all do, what are the goals and responsibilities of USPA and team members. Where? Where do the people come from, is there any DZ that benifits from this more directly than others. IE does all the training happen at one DZ, or does the team travel around spreading our money and their awareness. When? When does all this take place, I only hear about nationals on dropzone.com threads Why? Why do we have a team, what is the goal, and is it meeting its expectations and results? What is the main goal anyway? Is it to advertise to the public our sport so it can grow? Is it to show national pride as we compete? The two are related, but which ones success helps our sport the most. If we spend 50k on this team and I ask 1000 whuffos on the street if they heard of the US skydiving team, or any events and not 1 has, what did we accomplish. Could we have came out better spending 50k on advertising, promotional stunts, more sim research, instructional improvements, FAA lobying, lending hands to dropzones in trouble?

It's a sign of pride, heritage, history. It's used by douche bags who do not know the real meaning, which ends up giving the ones who display it for it's intended purpose a bad name. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along,

I don't have all the time in the world to research and be brainwashed by others, so here is what I could find before I got to work. It is a list of FEDERAL political scandals. Quickly counting up I found the names of 110 Republicans involved, and 91 Democrats. I believe this supports what I said earlier, that corruptness applies to all sides, before you had to shoot a flamethrower down the isle and try to divide us all again here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scandals_in_the_United_States Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

I'm confused I see you said the first production will be a skydiving oriented design, then you say 10 seat, 8 seat, and 20 passenger capacity all in 2 lines...

Anvilbrother replied to CameraNewbie's topic in Speakers Corner
I totally agree with protest, and political involvement hell I have done it before I became a Classified Civil Servant and was by law not allowed to. There are useful and progressive ways to go about it Amazon, when it comes to people getting to the point that they are now, the protest shifts TOTALLY away from the point they are trying to make, to a useless banter. Look at the shit we have been going back and forth about for two weeks, did ANYONE here solve anything? Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, -

Anvilbrother replied to CameraNewbie's topic in Speakers Corner
Without reading pages and pages I think you are talking about the use of a level of force. I was once part of a large police force that was using a national program that came up with this standard flow chart of when to use what reaction level of force, and I can tell you for a fact that the use of pepper spray is allowed after a verbal command is given and a person does not comply. If not then disregard, but I did read someone here was wondering why it was used and if it was legal. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, -
