USED CYPRES DOM AND LIFE CYCLE VS COST OF NEW
virgin-burner replied to katzas's topic in Gear and Rigging
I'll butt in here. That's a little harsh. I respect Jeffca a lot. and katzas at least a little, even if he is a Pain in the Katzas at times. not really directed at you, but.. if you cant stand the heat, dont go into the.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

USED CYPRES DOM AND LIFE CYCLE VS COST OF NEW
virgin-burner replied to katzas's topic in Gear and Rigging
I don't have a dog in this fight, but the life of Cypres 2 is 12 years and 6 months. And YES, taking a reserve out of service just because it's 15 years old is simply stupid thing regardless whoever told you that. if i'm correct, in belgium a reserve older than 10yrs (?) is deemed not airworthy anymore.. and will not be packed by a rigger anymore. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

I'm pretty sure that is code for get drunk and screw. porn and a bottle of vodka? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Prison time coming up? LOL! naw dude! There's a film project i am involved in. But because of a nondisclosure agreement i have on a contract i cannot say which film i am working on, location, plot details, etc. I've worked on recent successful movie adaptations and the current project i'm on is part of a franchise (can't disclose which one though) Porn. is he a fluffer!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

realised the other day it's soon my 7th year in skydiving - how time flies! havent skydived since last august i think, but have been busy with the darker side of jumping over the winter. jumping from planes seems so loud and crowded almost now. i really only do it for the hikes! been to the dz on friday afternoon and made four quick jumps with the new tracking-suit; at first i thought my canopy was broken, gotten used to the more "positive" openings of that other sport. but really enjoyed the ride on my safire..

So this is what my friends think I do..
virgin-burner replied to Doug_Davis's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
This is not the first time this has been done. I have seen a video of something like it a few years ago, possibly the same place. And if I remember correct, the guy died a few months later on a skydive or BASE jump. But I'm not sure about the details Hi, The caption below mentions that it's been out of service for a year and that it will be taken apart next month. ..yet some other shithead will see this and thinks to himself: "oh cool, i'll do that next time i'm at a (someone else's) local object and RIIIIIIIP IT; it's gonna be EPIIIIIC, AWWWWESOME, RAAAAAAD and EXTREEEEEEME!" then they end up hitting a fully functional cable car in operation and with 50+ people on board and get their head pulled into the mechanism.. not as that has ever happened before. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

virgin-burner replied to Doug_Davis's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
pretty sure the operator of that cable-thingy is very happy about this.. it's because of shitheads like this there's more and more rules and access for different airsports becomes more and more limited and/or difficult. good job! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Drowning doesn't look like drowning
virgin-burner replied to havoc996's topic in Safety and Training
maybe it would be smart if you checked the current BEFORE you went in; in the case of the asians, watch everyone be washed offshore and just watch the carnage!? now, THAT would be smart; plus, you'd get to collect a whole lot of nice cameras to boot! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

now i'm REALLY curious as to know what your definition of "stupid" is.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -
the proper term is VIRGIN BURNER! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

virgin-burner replied to havoc996's topic in Safety and Training
to the danger of sounding ignorant here.. i still dont get why people in this day and age dont know how to swim. or get themselves into dangerous waters.. i like swimming, i like water.. if i get any further than say 300ft from shore in a lake i start to feel uncomfortable. that's probably the distance i could still make back when i've had a cramp or experienced any other problem. i also dont swim in high current rivers that are deep, shallow and higher current is ok. i dont like swimming from boats! good read anyway, i wouldnt have noticed that boy in the linked video was having problems.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

skydiving deaths 1/100'000 BASEjumping deaths 1/2'500 risk times 40 skydiving injuries 1/60'000 BASEinjuries 1/250 risk times 240 that's the numbers i got, but for all we know, they're probably all wrong.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
