Echoing what Mark said, consider 105.43. That regulation begins No person may conduct a parachute operation using a single-harness, dual-parachute system, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow any person to conduct a parachute operation from that aircraft So, while the regulation makes special mention of the pilot in command, it also prohibits any person from things too. As Mark said, maybe the FAA has never exercised this aspect of their power, but that doesn't mean you are not subject to their action should they desire to come after you. So, possible violations for either one or both, right? I've gotten ramp checked before a demo once, but everyone was in compliance with regulations. So, I'm not sure what the consequences would have been, but was always told the pilot would get most (not all) of the heat. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

So we can't hear good under water because of the temp change? Of course sound is effected by density. Sound travels faster in water, so the human ear hear it as being distorted. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

Well at least you think you do. A "deep" drunken conversation sounds alittle diferent to a sober person. But i'm the same way as you. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

I would personally toss it. It doesn't look like it can be safely ignited. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

I'm not quite understanding the situation. So the 2-wire pull tab is missing and there are two cords now showing? Its the ignitor stem there and in good condition? If it is just the sheath missing, I would not worry much about it. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

I've done this only a few times. To answer your question yes it can be done. From my findings you seem to increase your fallrate and tend to go head low fo to decrease in lift, maybe? And the axis in which I was spinning seemed to be off center. I did keep a heading though and it is fun. There are far more skilled people than me that undoubtly can perform this manuvuer better, but just my finding from doing it only a few times.

We had a pilot that found out he donned his rig wrong all by himself: he stood up straight after hooking his legstrap to his handle When I first started jumping I was told a story from a fellow jumper about a very near miss in our C-182. On a hot summer day the they were taking off with the pilot window open for ventalation. At about a 1000' plus feet (I forget what exact altitude), just as the pilot closed the window his spring loaded pilot chute hit the glass, still drawn to it from the suction when it was open. Even before he latched the window. They were lucky that day. So now I try to check the pilots rig when I think about it, but I'll admit its not that often.

Agreed. Its a doubled edge sword for me. I want more and more drilling to take place for good business, but I personally know a lot of people in the fishing and seafod industries that will be forced to postpone business or shutdown due to the spill. I've never actually thought of this happening. Its quite an unfortunate shock. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

They knew the Oil reservoir pressure from before they started this drilling, and then they have safety procedures and experience from other oilfield´s around the world. It will be interesting to see what caused this accident, if it was equipment failure of a procedure/ safety failure due to time and cost. Yes they knew the oil reservoir pressure, but when hitting a gas pocket it becomes much greater. This is why they have blow out preventers. Of course they failed in this case. From what I've heard around the local industry, it was an operator and engineering error, which sent the wrong mixture down the well when they were permantly encasing the well. Which is done before production begins. Speculation aside, let's see what arises when farther investigation is done. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

There are other systems in place to prevent this, although they were unable to do so due the tremendous pressure at hand. Deep water drilling is very dangerous and comes with entirely new risk compared to drilling in shallow gulf waters. I would like to give compliments to the crew of the rig for there fast action toward the evacuation and the resecue of those who had to jump from sixty feet plus to keep from burning alive. As an oilfield fabricator employee, I realize that this could have been prevented by not drilling at all. The fact remains that although we realize we need alternate fuel sources,but we will be dependant on oil for decades to come, werther it be from foriegn or local resources. Drilling in the gulf undoubtally creates jobs for americans. Not only for rig workers, but indirectly for the fabricators and suppliers for the equipment on the rigs, which far out numbers the the rig workers. This was a tragedy that effects my state (Louisiana) tremendously by devastating businesses throughout the coast which includes the oilfield businesses. Before this incident, the track record for drilling in the gulf was just short or right at perfect and outstanding. We should still, IMO, lobby to explore, drill and pump oil off of our shores. This creates jobs and keeps dependence on oil resources increasingly local. Again, as much as we want our dependance on oil to change, IMO, it will be around for decades to come. So, let's keep it domestic, despite this backdraw. Drilling is dangeroous but nessecary at this point in time. If you're not living on the edge; you're taking up too much room!

Whats the worst that can???

Quote I've heard of folks doing a sunset XC and drinking an adult beverage under canopy. reply] That has been on my list for a while.

There was a blow preventer just under the sea floor that malfunctioned. It is now only partially closed. The well was fully drilled and they were in the process of permanantly sealing in the well casing to start production when they hit a gas pocket and the well blew out. When the rig sank, it settled on the sea floor (5000' form the surface) about 1500' away from the well. This is only good because it allows better access to the well head. If the rig would have landed on top, it would be even more devastating to to lack of access. Living in south Lousiana and working in the oilfield, this suck because of the inpact on future offshore business for my company. Even worse, is the inmpact on the environment, which directly effects the hunting and commercial and recreational fishing and the seafood market. There will be thousands of businesses devasted and most will more than likely have to shut down. The oil hit our coast this morning. So much for Louisiana being the "Sportsman Paradise."
