Some one take pity and tell me how to get the clicky to clicky

I route mine up to the keepers but don't weave them in, just let them hang out the last loop. This way i can do a pin check on the wings and easily tell non-birds how to fix it if it pulls loose in the plane.

Faber is right. Check the skydiving fatalities in relation to an entry around 1994 (?). Low jump from a helo with a quick deployment of the pilot chute. Ended up rapped around him and he went in. Just a thought to consider. Was on the movie set of Firestorm.

Can u call your main anything but a reserve when its your only chute?? Sorry, comic relief.

First off good job!!! What I take from your post primarily are two key points..... 1) Spinning Mal 2) Unable to determine the the cause Your reaction to cut away was 100% correct. When in doubt, whip it out. When it comes right down to it, you still fixed the problem, regardless of what it was. Good awareness to attempt to look up and identify in more detail what was happening, but you made the right move and save your own skin. Check the incident reports and you will find people that have tried to fix a situation and never did, with negative results. Again, way to go.

In the US, some city unions have worked out contracts where city employees such as waste collection, street maintenance and similiar jobs make more than emergency service workers (police fire ems which are also city) I say this not to make light of what they do (non-emerg), its hard work and they deserve every penny as well. But lets face it, how many of these people have the risk daily of A) dealing with violent people B) walk into burning buildings C) risk disease/death by contamination D) risk death by car accident responding to emergencies. These people run to situations that everyone else is running away from, and don't get paid any different that anyone else that is a typical city worker. Now I know I'll get the "they can quit", "they chose that work" and similiar comments, and I will agree with those and possibly more as well. Its just all and all, the ratio seems off. Done rambling, should know better than to respond to this stuff at this time of night.

1) Warnings have the same affect as fine. On most people most likely, how though do you determine which these people are is the question. In general a cop only knows this person for a moment and bases alot of his discretion on those moments. Given the surrounding traffic, the offense and honestly the fine for the offence, one or the other is chosen. 2) Officer Discretion Law states discretion is part of an officers investigative authority. Its also his and his alone to enact. It is usually against policy for one officer to order another to issue or not issue a ticket. It brings evidence into disrepute. 3) Police Unions Police are considered a essential service and legally are not allowed a strike in the typical sense of the word. The union acts on there behalf as any union does, however, if those talks go sideways, the officers can't picket. Hence they are forced, if need be to use other methods. In some depts, where only a mustache is allowed by policy for facial hair, guys will grow beards or goatees. Some depts won't allow baseball caps, and the officer will wear those. Other stop writing tickets and issue warnings. Legally, by legal precedence, this is acceptable as there is nothing requiring an officer to issue a ticket under any circumstance. Its a type of silent protest. On a side note, there are some officers that honestly feel they are not out there to serve and collect. Dedicated traffic officers can write 20 to 50 a day. Regular street cops that go to calls, maybe one or two, if that. Its really not that consistant one officer to the next. Just my two cents in general.

The very first student I ever dispatched on IAD, my first real student ever....climbed out on the strut and on the "GO" command let go with his left hand, looked me in the eye, yelled fucking A, gave the pinky and thumb "hang loose" while only holding on with one hand and let go into a left turn into opening. The next one went better.

There is lots you can do in a trailer shower, a mirror just makes it more fun

Was not a personal attack against you or your advice. You make very good points on the side of safety and I agree with you fully. Just caught me as funny. I'm sure The111 looked at your profile, as everyone should and took that into perspective when reading advice. Would only back you up more as being correct.

www,skydivingmovies.com has at least one other video from this guy, also very good.

Think I saw it on skydivingmovies.com

Actually looks like her legs are wrapped around his hips, touching together in front. Just same color of suits.

Good call in contacting the dz, I hope they weren't insinuating that he'd be a good candidate to buy the suit when you mention "heads up". Frankly, not everyone has the skill at 200 jumps, let alone 100.

Very nice, congrats.

I think I know that flaming helmet....and those legs....hehehehe

Canadian law agencies, once evidence has been seized keep it for court. In a case where no charges are laid, the agency returns it to the owner or the agency auctions it if the owner is not located (or destroys it if it is illegal ie fake money, shrubbery etc) Once the "evidence" has gone through the courts, the agency no longer holds it for "evidence" purposes. Rather, the courts now become the care taker, for any appeal processes that may occur. I would assume something similiar occurs in the U.S., but can only guess. There may be an application process where they can get there gear back. Might cost money, but probably not as much as buying it all over again. Again, not 100% sure. Just my $0.02 Cdn

CaCaw CACAW!!!!!!!!

Man I miss Kamloops. Sandblast boogie a go Nick? Good idea on the delay, wish we had that figured out at May Meet Are you taking a full grip of the rig/jumper, or is it more of a freeflown exit, with a loose or touch grip only?? Calzado Rodriguez

Allowed to show??? Ok, who owns the rights to the vid and which video will it be on?

Looks like he was pretty serious though the whole dive...... Welcome to the flock
