No, It was not. According to this service bulletin, the cutter was good to go. The rig was Dolphin and the cutter is bellow the freebag. Or, maybe I'm wrong and missed some additional SB among the whole mess Nope, you got me there. sooo.. you still like aviacom, or can some-, ANYhow stand behind their company and defend them!? Please show where I said I like them (since this fiasco began, that is). And while you say you couldn't care less, it is clear to all that you care a great deal. well, you did state something that could be interpreted as such up-thread. i'm not trying to attack you here, just stating.. oh, yes, i DO care. if my AAD should fail to save me, i would care a GREAT DEAL if that AAD was killing me, in case i wouldnt/COULDNT save my own sorry ass. and yup, my container has it's cutter located on top of the reserve, so yes, i'm kinda concerned. not really me in this case, but for fellow jumpers. and in THAT regard, really, aviacom can suck my big donkey balls. thank god it's prohibited to jump where i live.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

paul, no shit here, my pre-poster pretty much sums it up. cutter needs to be replaced, no cutters available, rig is jumped anyway, sadly, jumper in question DIES because of lack - of what!? MANUFACTURERS response, MANUFACTURERS determination, whatever.. FUCK AVIACOM!!! all their so-called "responses" have been in the LOWEST shelf of possible replies.. just - WOW!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

yup, and that's EXACTLY the reason why, IMHO, aviacom can burn in hell. i couldnt care less! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

So, only the people *you* think are ok should be able to speak? nope, only the fuck-nuggets should refrain.. and to end the circle, un-educated people will believe any plate of shit you serve them. as a US-citizen, you're more likely to fall for that trap.. So, then you assign the fuck nugget label? nope, but you just prove my point! EDUMUCATION!!! No, I think YOU just proved Mikes point! EDUMUCATION, my friend, EDUMUCATION!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

So, only the people *you* think are ok should be able to speak? nope, only the fuck-nuggets should refrain.. Right, so you're agreeing with what I said. And yet we see it MUCH more from you....wonder why that is? WHAT do you see from me!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

You don't see any problems with jailing people for saying unpopular things, having unpopular beliefs? This is the sort of nonsense that got us stuck with the Patriot Act. But even that turkey isn't as bad as what we see here. Scientology hasn't threatened the integrity of America and it has a bunch of money (Hollywood) behind it. Locally I know a guy who contributes greatly to the community in the form of skill clinics for motorcyclists, and in the sport of diving. I think he's just a talented man, but he would attribute his success to Scientology. We have many organizations/cults/religions that take people's money and in return "somehow make them more successful." People have free will to do this - core principle of freedom. i see a problem with people spreading LIES; for their own good. and i definitly wouldnt want a "shadow CIA" to snoop on me or my (in their eyes) unpopular beliefs.. since u're an atheist as well, shouldnt you be highly suspicious to any form of religion fondling with government-issues!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

personally, i think one is enough. how about the guy from poland, not sure in his case.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

And what if he'd told you that it was an older Talon that had been recalled for a harness problem? Look, I am as unhappy as anyone with the way Aviacom has botched things. But the letter in question DID say that the cutter was the recalled model. That's an important point. Again, Aviacom has botched things at every opportunity. And the whole status of the recalled cutter is a bit hazy. Sometimes Aviacom says they must be replaced, and sometimes they say they don't need to be replaced. But when I hear of new incident where the old cutter is involved, well, that's not too surprising to me. Now, I'm having a tough time keeping all the facts straight. Other than San Marcos, do we have any incidents involving the newer cutters? Thanks! -paul say, if you've had the chance, would you like to be the person finding out!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

i would not! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

can't be a racist, like a nazi skinhead or a Holocaust denier. Many argue this isn't a loss, but I prefer a less ambiguous freedom of speech. on religion (from Wiki "Scientology in Germany") "Scientologists in Germany face specific political and economic restrictions. They are barred from membership in major political parties and employers use so-called "sect filters" to expose a job applicant's association with the organization. German federal and state interior ministers started a process aimed at banning Scientology in late 2007, but abandoned the initiative a year later, finding insufficient legal grounds. Despite this, polls suggest that most Germans favour banning Scientology altogether." It may be a wacko cult, but as an atheist I'm highly suspicious when the majority declares a minority religion as a cult, or worse, discriminates against those associated with it. well, a holocaust-denier is clearly delusional, or are you denying the holocaust has happened!? if not, no worry.. for the wacko-scientology, mhm, since this "cult" runs its own secret-service, i can clearly see how it is conflicting with say "integrity of the state"; or would like to have an operating al-quaeda cell in your neighbourhood!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so, what "limited freedom of speech" does exist there in germany exactly!?

you made a feeble attempt to belittle me and my nation and you get pissy when called on it. Speaks volumes for you. Just another one of your Fails yea, your bullying speaks volumes for you too. dont worry, you and ritchard gale must be the prime of ozzies, right!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
