    One of my biggest fears is having my reserve pilot chute out of my rig inside a plane!!! Both situations aren't ideal, but I am much more concerned about a pilot chute going out a door killing me and tearing the plane up. The other way around the Cypres has to turn off, AND I have to be put in a no pull situation. Just my personal opinion as a consumer.

    Sperm Donor

    DougH replied to guppie01's topic in The Bonfire

    If I was shooting blanks, and my SO still wanted to get pregnant I would go to a sperm bank. I would want to make sure that my kid got the tallest, strongest, biggest, smartest sperm. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    The fact that every electronic product can fail doesn't change the fact that certain products have been shown to produce faults more often, or that some products have fault modes that are more dangerous than others. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    If you respected it you wouldn't be flying it. I would wager that what you think is respect, is really just flying scared. It is bad enough to be flying a canopy you aren't ready for, but personally I think it is even worse if you are scared of it.

    Cypres II for me. None of the Cypres II's at any of the dropzones I jump at have gone off on final . I can't say the same about the Vigil. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    That sounds cool, less chance of getting it knocked out while moving around in the plane.

    Gifts from EX

    DougH replied to Richards's topic in The Bonfire

    Ask her if you should remove your dick, because it was in the EX's ass so many times in the past. It is a coffee cup!!!! Imagine all the real problems a relationship could have, and she is bitching about a cup. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Poor word choice on my behalf, I intended to write that the rw group can drift over not slide. After all I freefall on a rail, no sliding at all. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Ask your instructors. You're still a student, who told you that you get to make choices for yourself. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I don't know? It sorta reminded me of a bedsheet patern I used to have. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Because free flyers drift less, so RW groups can actually slide over top of the free fly group. If you put the belly fliers out first drift helps the separation, and less delay is needed in the door to get safe separation. It doesn't matter if you fall faster. Consider what could happen if you had a premature deployment, and the later leaving belly group drifted over top of you. Putting free-flyers out first increases this risk. Why is it unsafe that you have beaten them to pull altitude? If you have proper separation you will be in a different spot in the sky. You can't rely on vertical separation. After I am open I try to judge where I stand in the canopy stack, and either bleed altitude, hold brakes, or just fly full flight to my staging area.

    The skeleton is awesome. I like it, but I think it might look better if it had a background that looked like it was taking place at a dz. Either way bad ass, better then I could ever draw!!

    I am here in the United States. How is my signature going to help you in the United Kingdom? I will never vote in your local elections. You might want to start a grass roots campaign with locals in the area. If you get a bunch of signatures from people who make a difference in elections they will be worth way more than a bunch of signatures from a skydiving website. Just a thought.

    Send it to me, I will jump it. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Has any one considered making an offroad design? We don't have any smooth surfaces at my DZ besides the parking lot. Considering how well the tandem students drive I thought it would be in our best interest to try and build a set with heavy duty pneumatic casters so we could creep on the grass.

    Not this time around... My ride bailed out on me and there is no way my jalopy is going to make the ride. One of these days I will have to check your DZ out, I grew up in NJ but didn't start jumping until after I had graduated HS in NJ and moved up to CT. I hope you all have an awesome boogie!!!

    Did you call them and ask? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I jump all winter long in CT, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be... rainfest. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    The AAD was for the bowling ball, and I was being sarcastic. I wasn't panicked, but now I am a little concerned that you might have something foreign lodged some where important. My apologies. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    1995 Mitsubishi Montero that is lifted with larger than stock tires (33 inches), a bullbar imported in from australia, and front and rear axle lockers. Before skydiving offroading was my expensive hobby. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I edited to include the mail order link. It is cheaper online, hotsauce stores seem to be a rip off because most people don't know better. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    This is my favorite salsa EVER: Habanero Garlic by Pain Is Good. Hot as hell but it has 1000X more favor than anything else you can purchase in the supermarket. http://www.originaljuan.com/ssl/shopping/products/?pg=74af6071-7f0f-4c3a-82ef-6a097b911891 "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I didn't think you would, and I wouldn't imagine doing it either!!! That is why I was wondering if there were "safer" alternatives. Maybe a bowling ball with a pilot chute and an AAD. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
