I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me, and I'd proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today cause there ain't no doubt I love this land......God Bless the USA! ~ Lee Greenwood ~ I say Amen and ThankYou to all that serve or have served this GREAT NATION.

WOW! I must say that I have been fortunate to jump in DZ's that are people concious. EVERY skydiver is accounted for off the load or someone goes looking for them. I have seen DZO's hold the hands of an injured skydiver, folks who attend to them with great concern. I have also seen the opposite. Recently we had 5 seasoned jumpers (3,000 jumps or better) land off. I went to retreive them and came upon an injured jumper. I did what I would hope any person in the same situation would have done....rendered aid. I later received a wonderful card from said jumper thanking me for my help. My response to that is I can only hope that someone else would do the same for me. Indeed if the afore mentioned is not an isolated incidence, I certainly would entertain the idea of taking my business elsewhere, and expressing my concern to the DZO as well as the owner. If the behavior continues, perhaps folks will quit patronizing that DZ. Idealistic perhaps....but at some point we need to hold people accountable. Just my own opinion.

lawsuits about hearsay (heresay).OMG has anyone played the game where you say something and it gets repeated several times? It Never comes out as the origional statement. Sue happy society......YIKES! It only takes a little pixie dust......

Indeed.....I didn't realize that I had so many things that bothered me. HUMPH!......LOL But here's a new one for you.........Being pulled over by 5 California Highway Patol at gun point because the guy at the DMV where you renewed your tags the day before inadvertantly reported your vehicle as stolen. Now THAT was something! I rather enjoyed the handcuffs though! LMAO it is rather funny now, but it certainly wasn't at the time. It only takes a little pixie dust......

Not trying to be insensitive here.....the death of Daniel Pearl is a travesty. As to putting them in jail.....how about giving them a sex change and let them live as women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule? It only takes a little pixie dust......

Well said Lisa! It only takes a little pixie dust......

I hate this......ok I am in stage IIIb recurrent as we speak. The first time was pure hell and this is even worse! I skydive because it brings me joy that is inexplicable. It allows a freedom from all of the trappings of our conventional daily lives. In the sky, we can let go of everything and just BE. Each time we make a jump we accept the risk that it is dangerous, but what I would offer is that sometimes living in the safety of our fears is the most dangerous thing that we can do. When I told some of my friends at the DZ in AZ where I train often of my illness, they actually stood in the packing tent and cried. This from some of the "coolest" people in the sport took me aback, but it made me come to understand that this sport has given me a place to belong without aires, without judgement, without pretense. One of diversity of background, and circumstances,one where there is the common bond that keeps us all connected no matter where we are.......I salute the divine within all of us..

How about those that think they are so much smarter? Yes I have a college education, but that doesn't make me any more important than the guy that never made it through high school. All the credentials on the wall do not make a descent human being. It only takes a little pixie dust......
