And thus, the search for a new mascot begins for Toys "R" Us. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

Oh, thank god I got sober before the internet came out. -

Well, when you have someone who is that catastrophically stupid and he's got his finger on the button, you can't be too careful. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

15 Years Clean...But Not Sober. Does it Matter?
Tink1717 replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
It matters A LOT how long someone has been clean and sober. IF you are clean and sober you should know this. And, just for your information, I try not to sit anywhere near smokers. And, just for the record, I AM NOT contradicting whether she is clean or not. Only she, or someone with a lab test, can make that call. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

No booze or dope for 21 years, no cigs for 20 years. I qualify for "Truly clean and sober". Good luck. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717 -
Scooby Snoopy Goofy Droopy Underdog Grimm Astro Ren. What do I win?

There is nothing you can do. What you are dealing with is belief. Once a person believes something, there is no amount of fact, logic, reason or truth that will persuade them. The best thing to do is to hide your jumping activity as much as possible until such time that you are fully out of the house and even then just don't mention it. There is simply no talking to some whuffos. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Actually, I saw it with my girlfriend and her grand daughter. The kids were all squirming and bored after the first 1/2 hour. The adults, me included, had a good time.

Your professor has bad data. The number of jumps is way low. Off the top of my head, the numbers for 1999 were 28 fatalities for 3.5 million jumps. That gives a rate of 1:115,000. Significantly better than driving. What is your professor trying to prove? That jumping is dangerous? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

I'm surprised that this hasn't happened in Baltimore County, MD yet. We must get a dozen calls a day from people that we take to the hospital via medic unit and get put in the triage system. They then call back to 911 to get transoprted to another hospital. We, by policy, don't honor those requests, so I'm really surprised we haven't had to deal with that yet.

I've never had anything like that, but my family makes it abundantly clear that they don't want to hear about my jumping. Their attitude is that if I don't talk about it, then it will go away and I'll become an office working, suburban living, minivan driving, church going baby factory republican just like them.

Physics of Skydiving Question

Physics of Skydiving Question
Tink1717 replied to UnusualAttitude's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It always amazes me about how easily physics people forget about the atmosphere. Even when said person seems to remeber about it, as soon as they get past the first orpeation, the atmosphere disappears from the thought process. The reason why heavier people fall faster than light ones who are the same size has to do with the amount of mass for surface area. For the same surface area, the object with the greatest mass will have the higher terminal velocity. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Your drum motor is going to fail. I had the same problem. The fix is more expensive than getting a new camera. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
