Yes, I get guns pulled on me all the time... but I draw just a little bit faster. Plus, we have two oceans, What do you have? water we can drink from the tab? four official languages? the alps? health care? and about a gazillion lakes and rivers you can actually SWIM in.. who the fuck needs an ocean!? Also fantastic chocolate (unlike the crap you get in the USA), real cheese, Banks that don't charge for ATM use, Fresh clean air, Wold famous quality watches, Culture. Some of the best education in the world. i didnt want to sensory overload the guy.. he's american; it's very likely he'll only speak english. what does he need education for anyway.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

having a gun pulled on you also happens mostly in 3rd world countries, and the US - oh wait.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

That was probably the same sentiment held by the original residents of Oz when the English started sending your criminals there. there, fixed it for you! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

It may be free but the pictures shows it is an unnecessary hazard to the students jump. It’s just my opinion but I think trying to wear too many hats on an AFF jump is a way to get in trouble. As was mentioned, there is outside video, no need for the instructor to wear a camera. Sparky in this case you're right; at any other given dz in my country, i'm hardly aware of ONE where they would use outside-video to debrief their students. i think that would raise the price of AFF from already 3000$ to about 4 grand.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

other than that, when you're being looted, your insurance-company will cover the cost of that. no need to shoot someone.. but hey, that's in a civilised, and not a 3rd world country.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

oh yea, you sure want to pull a gun on an angry mob. i hope you have your gatling-gun mounted and ready before your body is torn to bits.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

No pics handy, but smilley face would resemble a letter 'U'. A frown face would resemble a letter 'U' upside down. how about the letter C!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -
How is speedriding any different from...
virgin-burner replied to jrjny's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
maybe that's because there's about a gazillion paraglider-pilots and only a "handful" of skydivers!? as for switzerland, that's about 30'000 PG-pilots and only around 1000 skydivers IIRC. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

the "ball of shit"-scenario is still more likely survivable than a no-out. just to keep the irony going... maybe you should become the PR-manager for aviacom! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Yes, and to be perfectly fair, as you request - I think what he was referring to, or trying to impart - taking all the inflammatory emotion out of it - is that, if this cutter is/were located in a rig whereby its firing resulted in a trapped (non-fully-cut) closing loop ... that even if the student DID then pull his reserve handle (let's say it was a TOTAL on his main) - then even if he did in that circumstance, the reserve would have been TRAPPED / LOCKED inside the container, which most certainly would have been fatal. ^^that! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Easy man... No need to create an environmet where people are afraid to ask a question because it might be deemed stupid. The guy has 18 jumps and he's asking questions. yes, and at jump 1 he should have an idea what this is already. i'm not saying HE is stupid, i'm questioning his instructors ability, and so have others. it's legitimate! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
