well if you name REALLY is Phil MacCrackin- that's what you do... OTHERWISE... your own name.. or nickname... etc! --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

of course... winning the lottery could be just as nice. could buy my OWN dz! :D

Google searched myself today. Ever done that? Type in your name within quotes... "Phil McCrackin" And see what comes up! You might have a twin, and you'll also see what things you've done on the net in the past... like an e-footprint. Turns out I checked out one page that had my name on.. www.airsportz.com I had won a free skydive(s) for being on their mailing list. WOOHOOOO!!! :D All hail Atlanta Air Sportz DZ! Well atleast I do! Course me being up here in New Hampstershire... Only been to Atlanta (the city, not the dz) twice... it's a bit of a trip, But most likely my crazy side will shine through and I'll do a nice little road trip down there to visit and get some jumps in!! Assuming I finish the rest of my levels at kickin' Skydive New England, I'm gonna test out the O2 over GA! Anyone down there? Give me a shout out! :) --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

so I just did exactly what Jim did in an earlier post... did the math out saying how 25 jumps on two weekends would buy you the aad. i just edited the post to save you from the math though... so maybe i should finish a string before adding! heh oops! :) --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

all of those websites would have been helpful if i could speak German? --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

MAN THAT'S CLOSE! My first thought was... he owes SOMEBODY beer! Maybe a toast to the Big Guy Upstairs, Mother Earth, or whoever your spiritual backseat driver is. thanks for the photo --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

GrumpySmurf's "It's all about mitigation of risk (not removal of risk), " I was so thinking that, but didn't have the word... mitigation! Thanks! The same thing goes true for terrorists on commercial planes. It'll never be 100% safe.. but every measure taken to increase security helps... AAD's are kinda like a metal detector or bomb sniffing dog. :) --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

is the 1 millionth chance worth $1,000 ? My personal take on this- as a total newcomer- just from the people I hang around, and what I've heard... when it comes time for me to buy my own rig... cause its going to happen eventually- I'll wait until I can fork over the cash for the complete deal. But the thoughts earlier about Alt Awareness make sense to me too. Education is important. And I'm at the best dropzone for that! --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

Hey y'all Leaving today for Indy- on a commercial jet... It's so weird to fly with a rig on my back! Would be a bit odd if you wore one on the plane. DB Swooper anyone? They have great fries~ --- It's like a farmer, out-standing in his field.

You're right- while slander is difficult to prove (must show intent to cause damage) the legal costs of defending such a case are just about as harmful as a judgement against. Why should DZs care if info is disclosed... like you said, there are so many waivers, you couldn't sue them anything. I guess its the 'good name' of the DZ at stake. But shouldn't reputation be legit, with full disclosure? Its true though.. there's a DZ not 10 minutes from me where people have died recently and has a "currency" (a wink to the currency discussion folks) of accidents in the local newspaper. I have even heard stories of someone who knew the person who fell out of the sky. When I searched out which DZ to make my first tandem- you can bet that was a part of my decision. It also was more expensive. Poor safety records hurt business. I know it's easier said that done- but the proactive approach to safety seems the best for all parties. --- I'm rambling but its fun.

bummer all i get is the sound~

so when no photos at all show up on the website? is it cause my browser only speaks english? ;) I just love looking at little red Xs on pictures when they don't show up....
-
What if you did the ol' storybook waiver at the beginning... The stories involved have their names changed, and DZ's changed, and equipment... idono.. Or saying that the information is only for educational purposes. Worse can scenario you could say the information is for "entertainment" purposes only- it saves you from the lawyer armies but that seems kind of 'not cool.' What about the whole thing with Public Disclosure? If the government has to disclose certain things.. should we also have a right to other information- ..? Its easy to ask questions, harder to answer them. :)

Followed the link on one of the recent posts, Noticed a fatality on http://www.skydivingfatalities.com/ and that the person was observed to be "potato-chipping"... during the jump? Whats that mean?
-
Well it certainly helps me learn from what can go wrong and to mentally prepare for the odd-est of situations... But if you really think about it. Sharing the fatality information gives that person's "ending" some significant meaning. I would certainly want people to know what happened to me and how they can avoid doing the same thing.

Hey ya'll Got a Slipstream II for my b-day from my girlfriend. Cool gal huh? The problem is I'm still doing my AFF levels- have no idea if I should use this yet (of course its the JM's call) but what do you all think? Also, how friggin' tight are these Slipstream II's suppose to be? Skin tight with just shorts on- is that the sign of the need for an upgrade or is this my initiation into the world of skinny skydivin'???? They gotta be snug for RW ya? It's kinda restricting in terms of arching- is that gonna be no biggy in the air, where its always easier to arch? Much appreciated! :)

-They think he is harmless...bwhahahahahahahahahaha. -The little shit is quite nuts. hahahahAA!!! when the boat's a small jet ski- you gotta make up for it with motion in the ocean eh? Any ladies looking for an aircraft carrier ? heh

sounds good to me... my thought was that if the peeps who are responsible for the picture used photoshop- they wouldn't use one with the double exposure sun. cause if you're gonna take a pic of a plan and then add skydivers.. whats the point of having something in it like that? its legit.
-
well it was after the sunset load in the wooden mock Otter behind the hanger.. she never told me her name, but you could tell she was a MASTER RIGGER...
-
ya great pic, could you explain the importance of the picture? obviously it seems wrong but i can pinpoint exactly whats incorrect.. (though i had a feeling that I prob wouldn't jump with any mess of fabric and wires... i remember them being a lot more organized..) clue me in!
-
True. Numbers are just numbers, and if you kill me while in RW... My family will come after your family with their turkey rifles. ;)
