Well if it is a DVT you have nothing to worry about untill it gets loose and gets to your heart or your head. Best to leave the medical advice to your Primary Medical Doctor. Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192

So does this mean thaty someone could call you an assface and it wouldn't be a PA

It's all good man. Everyone I have met who has met you have nothing but good things to say about you. Nothing wrong with a little friendly debate. A DZO can set any rule he wants. Will a rule be good or bad for business, well time will tell on that one. Just because a rule exists dosen't mean that it will be followed 100%. Sometimes a blind eye will be turned, and others it will not. Ultimately the only person who is responsible for my safety is myself and no one else. I am a big fan of training. If I have an opertunity to gain training I will take it. Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192

I think this question has been answered previously. While it is not manditory as per USPA/FAA guidelines to have an AAD in your rig. If you have one it must be maintained according to the manufacturers instructions. Ie if a rigger were to install an expired cypress he could potentially be in deep dodo.

OK, I can kind of understand where you are coming from, Wally. However just because I havent been around as long as a whole lot of other people dosen't mean that I haven't been reading up on things. I am a morbid individual, and the first thing I do is check the incidednt pages of the parachutist, and reading the incident threds on this web board. I try to learn from what is published, so that hopefully I will not make the same mistakes others have before me. That being said will I make a mistake here or there, probibly. The question is how costly is the mistake that I will make? Some things I have learned thus far. If there is a more expericed jumper saying that he won't jump in the current winds, I should probibly follow suit. It is better to be bored on the ground at the DZ, then to be bored in a hospital bed. There is no shame in making a long walk if you feel that traffic over a certain landing area is heavy. Allways keep your head on a swivel. You are the only one who can truly watch out for your safety. When landing land in the dirrection that everyone else is landing in. I have seen this one first hand. It is unfortunate. Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192

That is rather close minded. Just because I haven't invested more money into the sport dosen't mean that I don't take safety into consideration. When I buy my own gear it will have an AAD in it. While I never intend to have to use it, it is still a nice added bit of insurance. What is an AAD? It is a man maid device that runs on batteries which may or may not work at the time you need it to. It's function is to be a last ditch effort to put some nylon over our heads before we burn in. Now will skydiving ever bee 100% safe. Nope not by a long shot. The plane is not guarenteed to get off the ground, or even make it to altitude safely. While parachutes are constructed of materials that want to inflate and open we are never guarenteed that they will do so. Will a reserve properly inflate? Probibly, but I don't want to find out. If you do everything right, exit the plane safely, have an uneventful freefall, pull on time, and observe a good landing pattern up untill the moment that you flare on time are you sill guarenteed to live. Nope not a chance. Once you have gathered up your parachute and are trudging across the landing area are you garenteed that someone wont collide with you. Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

OK here is a quick question... what is safer operaiting a DZ that allows jumpers not to have a AAD or operaiting a DZ that allows hook turns? Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192

The best tool every skydiver needs is that hunk of flesh and bone situated between the shoulders, and also another critical piece of equipment would be a right arm in one piece and functioning properly. Now of course every DZO has the right to refuse business to anyone they want, but they should keep the rules tight enough to keep people safe without making them feel overburdened.
