  1. We were at a boogie and a jumper landed on my husband in the spectater area where we were packing. The guy that hit him, didn't make a peep (no heads up, nothing) when in was coming in and very obviously not going to make the landing area. There was no heads up, nothing. The locals, including the S&TA came over and looked at the guy, turned away, and said oh, that's no surprise. And then the guy gets on another load. Nothing happened to this guy. He was a local and no one even talked to him about any of the many mistakes he made. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  2. can we get back to talking about erect nipples? I have to agree with micro. Its the end of the day and I forgot what my point was/is. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  3. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I'm sick of the mighter than thou attitudes about people judging people and everyone does it on here all day long and they pretend they are better than that and they are not. Its pretty simple. Had I outed someone for that same comment in a muslin hating thread I probably wouldn't be JUDGED as a bad guy. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  4. So you are saying you have NEVER passed judgement on someone you have only seen on TV or maybe on the internet? Pot, Kettle, Black That's all i have to say on that. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  5. In most cases, their actions caused their own injury or death. huh? What exactly does "members only" mean? Are you talking USPA members, members at a particular dz? J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  6. and the pilot is a skydiver too. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  7. Halo jumps have been done over and over again with out the "chamber ride". You don't have to do the chamber ride to "do it right". Call Kevin at halojumper.com Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  8. You are the USPA, I am the USPA. I suggest you get of your high horse, maybe attend a meeting if you are so concerned with how things are run? Did you vote? Have you contacted the BOD's with your concerns and/or solutions? Have you EVER attended a BOD meeting? I had a bitch with the USPA some years ago, so I contacted the BOD's, some of which cared enough to reply and then I showed up at a meeting, guess what, I got what I needed done. If you are really passionate about this, you need to show up at a BOD meeting, but I would become familiar with the procedures first. All that information is available on the USPA's website. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. I'd like to know the same thing. The agenda, for at least 3 committees, are posted on the USPA's website. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  10. Twin Peaks is by far my favorite South Park would be second Family guy Simpsons American Dad judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  11. Sure, but define 'staff members'? People who get paid to be there, fair enough. People who help out but get paid nothing? I reckon they can give their opinion. There is a big difference between someone who is paid and someone who helps out. I have a problem with STAFF members writing reviews/advertisments in the dz review section. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  12. thats why I say i have a hard time believing he just stared at the ground. something else had to be wrong. In a different incident years ago a jump was knocked unconscious but know one knew because he appeared to be "tracking" and in a "stable" position. I don't think all will tumble if incapacitated. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  13. I thought it was a landlord/tenant dispute was why they are trying to kick him off. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  14. Not true at all. It covers incidents at Non GM DZ's. I've seen it used a few times. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. Excellent statement! I wish everyone would take responsiblity for themselves instead of blaming others for their mistakes. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. West Tennessee is about 3 hours from Nashville. We would love to have you there. Hope you can come by some time. Camping available along with RV slots and plenty of room in the hanger to camp if you need. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  17. No. I have never had or seen a student (tandem or aff) shit their pants. I think a few instructors have come close though. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    Skydive Miami

    My friends and I visited Skydive Miami for a few days and were treated like one of their own. The facilities were nice and clean. The staff is very friendly and they appear to run a very professional and safe tandem operation if you are looking to make your first jump and are in the area. The landing area is huge and the ride back is in style. I would definately recommend Skydive Miami for the first time jumper or experienced jumper.
  19. She started it! Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  20. Yes, and I have insurance for such incidents. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  21. HOW????????????????? You are asking for HANDOUTS, because your choose to participate in a dangerous activity without health insurance. Sound like you are going to cost more people money then they will ever make off you. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  22. She should never take such chances without health insurance. That is just irresponsible. She should have a job and insurance before she should have considered skydiving. She is asking for handouts. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  23. It appears so. I think this is a good question for the EXECUTIVE committee who backed down and gave it back. I'm losing faith in the people that were elected, specifically the EXECUTIVE committee. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  24. Did she answer correctly? I'm trying to figure out this post. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
