Your right we should get rid of the USPA and the SIM, we should probably just ignore the FAA too. In fact, we should get rid of drivers licenses too cause you always have the choice to drive off a cliff or into a retaining wall. Its ultimately your choice. It may not be the one the majority of people will make but it will still be your choice. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Are we suppose to do solos or is this going to be a group free fall thing? Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Like I said in my previous post, common sense in people is gone. We need signs and regulations for everything because society (including skydivers) have lost the ability to make good common sense judgement calls without being told or having it in print. Go ahead and cutaway at 150ft if you think it will work. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

There are alot of things implied in the SIM and need to be fixed. If you look at the age requirements you will see it doesn't appear that a 17 year old can skydive but a 16 year old can. If I make it to the next BOD meeting I will mention it to the "safety nazi's" that they need to remove "recommendations" under everything and make it a requirements because common sense has completely gone out the door.

I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm with Ron on this one. The SIM is updated often so each person could be looking at a different year. I suggest everyone read the new one. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Do these people who give themselves a pin check have eyes in the back of their head? I can feel my bridle, but as I pull my hand away my bridle might come with and I don't have eyes in the back of my head so IMO self pin checks (with the rig on) are useless.

Sounds like a new diet. Maybe its a new canopy control class or something like that that they are going to offer. I'm only guessing cause I'm bored. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I just don't understand that way of thinking. Who made your reserve? God? (Bill Booth only makes containers, sorry. ) Who made your harness? Who made the twin otter? Who made anything we ever rely on to keep us safe? Do you avoid going near tall buildings? They're man made, they could fail at any time, right? How did you choose the minimum altitude at which you'd cut away? Dave I have chosen my minimum cutaway altitude from what I've learned in my FJC and others experiences, especially from those that have chosen theirs too low. I'm not going to rely on it to pull my reserve at a lower altitude cause its SUPPOSE to work at an altitude below MY hard deck. I understand completely that all my gear is man made and can malfunction at any time. I just don't feel like increasing my risk by lowering my hard deck, regardless of who or what makes it.

So there is no German words for that? It's stupid, I know, but I'm bored and have to keep typing to stay awake. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

No, because it would be stupid to rely on a man made device. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

When did that happen? and I see you see yourself as a skygod with 400ish jumps. OMG, did you read anything correctly? binkster is not a S&TA, nor did it state that PD contacted an S&TA at 6:00 a.m, Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

LOL I've easily paid $30 for an 8x10 or 11x14 many times and as much as $45. I felt each photo I have ever purchased was worth what they asked and that's what I paid. If its not worth it to you, then don't buy it, but don't pay the guy, have him go print off the enlargement then say try to re-negotiate the price. Those printers aren't cheap, nor is the ink or paper. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

What did I do? I see my posts were deleted. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Those people are called hippies!!! A recent southpark episode comes to mind. So do you drive a big car made by a big corporate conglomerate? Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

You mis-understood - I love Justin, I think he is great! He has always been very helpful and informative. He even convenience me to buy, and that was not easy. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Nope, didn't feel like spending the money and to have something else to dust around. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

ROFLOL. I think this is the first time Billvon made me laugh. Yes, I owe beer! I'll buy a keg if you all show. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I guess what I don't understand the most is how this is news. It has no details whatsoever. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I can't figure out what this guy actually did? Can anyone else? Man with suitcases detained at U.S. Capitol Monday, April 11, 2005 Posted: 2:35 PM EDT (1835 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- Police on Monday tackled and forcibly dragged away a man with two suitcases who had stationed himself in front of the west side of the U.S. Capitol. The incident had forced police to evacuate that side of the Capitol in fear of a possible explosion. Police, some armed with assault rifles, moved in slowly behind the man, who was dressed in black and faced the Capitol from a plaza below its west entrance. Crouching behind the wall, the police sprang up and ran at the man, who never moved. He was tackled by two policemen, dragged to an ambulance and taken away. Police left the suitcases behind. Some spectators applauded as police dragged the man away. Before the standoff ended, Capitol police spokesman Michael Lauer said the man had not said anything to police. Among the officials whose offices are on the west side of the Capitol looking out upon the National Mall are House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

That's what I teach em, but they have to bring me a diet pepsi. If I question on whether or not I can stay with them, and they are "self supervising" without an A license, I will do everything I can to find them someone that won't have to question whether or not they can stay with them.

Eagle is a 2-pt 8way. It's one of the "either or" requirements for a C-license. Do you have one yet? If not, we need to take care of that. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Mhartboca - Where were you this weekend? We needed you for some jumps. We did some 8-way and got a new guy his Eagle.

You are correct in the Dress for Success. At 31 jumps did this person have an A license? If so, then them jumping with a non-rated person was fine. If I, as in instructor, go low, then it is my fault. The student may have dearched and started float but I am suppose to be able to deal with that.
