You might have meant cutaway handle. On closer inspection, the cutaway handle is the red below the chest strap. It's all good. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Most of you have suggested that Muenkel NOT get a dog. I disagree. In fact, I disagree so strongly that I'd say you're all WRONG! I have two dogs. Both are shepherd mixes. One is 80lbs, the other is 40lbs. They are home alone 12hours a day, 3 days a week. They don't chew, piss, claw, or otherwise damage anything. That's because they're well-disciplined and accustomed to my schedule. Further, a dog is more than a responsibility. It's a change in lifestyle. Instead of going out for drinks after work, you'll find yourself coming home to play with the dogs. In my experience, I've grown from being a bar-crawling party animal, to a movie-watching homebody. I say GET A DOG! They're awesome. It'll change your life (for the better). In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Probably just a pulled muscle. My experience has been pain, discomfort, and restricted movement for about a couple weeks. If it's been that long since the injury and you're still sore, I'd go see a doc about it. You might only be a 60-minute massage away from perfect health.

The farthest I've ever landed off the dz is 6 feet. I might have made it all the way back, but that barbed-wire fence was pretty intimidating, so I cut it short. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

In the old days, before I knew better, I would let rig-less friends borrow mine. I got the same feeling when I looked up and saw my stuff flying around without me. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

It's usually pretty easy to tell the ones who should be golfing instead. They are unsafe in freefall and unsafe under canopy. They walk on your lines, spill stuff on the packing mats, and forget that planes have propellers. You can only suggest that they leave the sport, but you can enforce that they leave your dz.

That Sangiro is pretty cool, huh? Always behind the scenes, watching over us and keeping things running smooth. It's like he's Charlie and we're the Angels. (Some more angelic than others) In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Way to go. Start racking up those hours and before long you'll be able to pilot all your friends for skydives! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Don't toss them. Pay $.50 and list them on E-bay. There's someone on E-bay who will buy anything and everything. Or you can bring them to your doctor/dentist's office and leave them as reading material in the waiting room. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Pilot must be a skydiver, too. His mentality: "that was really f'ing stupid, but what a great pic!" In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Well, according to my Hawaiian friend, you're supposed to put vaseline on BEFORE you go boogie boarding. Keeps the water and salt off your nips, thereby leaving them soft and supple for that hottie surfer you'll meet on the beach!

As most experienced jumpers (especially freeflyers)will tell you, you had better be damn good on your belly before you try it on your head. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

I was stuck in an ambulance for 14 hours racing around Orange County picking up the remaining digits after people light off cheap roadside fireworks and and prying drunks out of the cars they'd wrecked. Oh joy! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Not really, since we don't land with the plane. So you'll only have to pay the tax if you get skeered and ride the plane down. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal

Maybe someone at Pasco County can help out. I'm sure that raising rates or charging tax will affect business negatively. Pasco might be interested in keeping people jumping there. Maybe you can start calling Zhills a skydiving club and sell 20-minute memberships that include a "welcome to the club" plane ride.

Yet another reason it's good that we're a self-regulating sport. There's alread too many Feds trying to make other decisions for us. I understand the pilot's license is "on the line", but it's that way for everything else, too. Seatbelts, loading, other planes in the air, etc. They try to put everything on the pilot. Not fair at all. If you choose to jump an out of date reserve, that's on you. Personally, I am always current or I don't jump. But I won't tell someone else they have to do the same.

Too hot to jump?? Never! I'll trade you Florida's rain for your heat. Just in time for the weekend - a good trade, I think! In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal
