Cop threatens to execute driver over concealed weapon permit
wayneflorida replied to regulator's topic in Speakers Corner
I watched the video once and this is how I see it. Illegal search of car starting in the back seat. Maybe. Threatening the driver. 10 rounds from his glock. No miranda rights. Not sure necessary but driver was placed under arrest. Threatening to arrest the driver in the future, even without probable cause. Maybe cop had been to Iraq or A and suffers from PTS; Maybe on drugs; Maybe just batshit crazy. Cop was out of line in this instant. With respect to the majority of cops who are the good guys -

Interesting theory. Like taking too many antibiotics can be harmful perhaps in the long term. Or living in a germ free enviroment doesn't help your body to build up immunity. I've always thought that the earth was flat. I learned to respect edges. This could be a boom for lawyers. Suing citites because adult was injured since the city did not allow the child to experience a risk enviroment. Yeah I know it's a real stretch. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/19/science/19tierney.html?_r=2&src=me&ref=general from article: “There is no clear evidence that playground safety measures have lowered the average risk on playgrounds,” said David Ball, a professor of risk management at Middlesex University in London. He noted that the risk of some injuries, like long fractures of the arm, actually increased after the introduction of softer surfaces on playgrounds in Britain and Australia. “This sounds counterintuitive, but it shouldn’t, because it is a common phenomenon,” Dr. Ball said. “If children and parents believe they are in an environment which is safer than it actually is, they will take more risks. An argument against softer surfacing is that children think it is safe, but because they don’t understand its properties, they overrate its performance.” ---------------------------------- “I was scared at first,” she explained. “But my mother said if you don’t try, you’ll never know if you could do it. So I took a chance and kept going. At the top I felt very proud.” As she headed back for another climb, her mother, Orkidia Rojas, looked on from a bench and considered the pros and cons of this unfamiliar equipment. “It’s fun,” she said. “I’d like to see it in our playground. Why not? It’s kind of dangerous, I know, but if you just think about danger you’re never going to get ahead in life.”

Pacticing reserve pull during terminal freefall
wayneflorida replied to wayneflorida's topic in Safety and Training
In will clarify my statement "praticing reserve pull" The intent is to touch your reserve handle but not practice the pull part. Can one stay stable during the reach as one would do during normal BOC throw out. I don't see this as dangerous when done on a solo jump. -
Obama says Skydivers don't care about kids.
wayneflorida replied to wayneflorida's topic in Speakers Corner
I'm not an Obama supporter, but I dont see the connection to skydivers here. Can you enlighten me? How do you get to "Obama says Skydivers don't care about kids." from that statement? Take the logic one step at a time: 1) Corporate jets are owned by corporations. 2) Skydiving aircraft are owned by corporations. 3) Many skydiving aircraft are jets (turbo-jets, i.e. turbines). Therefore, skydiving turbine aircraft are no different from corporate jets, and skydiving aircraft owners are no different from wealthy corporate jet owners. 4) Skydivers support skydiving aircraft and their corporate owners with their jump tickets. Therefore, skydivers are complicit with the wealthy corporate jet owners, whose tax breaks are depriving children of their safety. And Obama's statement is the same as saying that skydivers don't care about kid's safety. See how easy that was? Now please quit jumping, so that the children can be safe! Why do you want to endanger the children? I am now removing my tongue from my cheek. Thank you for your help. -

I can say stupid shit too! President Obama today. "Are you willing to compromise your kids' safety so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?" -
Even worst. The Navy will have go net osama's body up and redue his funeral. Too Islamic.

Pacticing reserve pull during terminal freefall
wayneflorida replied to wayneflorida's topic in Safety and Training
Who teaches students or new jumpers to practice reserve pull at terminal in freefall. Do you think it is worth while? Someone had to go to reserve because he could not throw out and I realize that I have never practiced reserve pull in the air. Sure on the ground and suspended in a harness, but never in the air at terminal on belly trying to be stable. So over the last couple years I do so sometimes on solo jumps. Of course I realize that if having to go to reserve, to pull is first even if unstable. Don't want people to think that being stable is more important than pulling. -
Happy Birthday Bolas.
