What is is that offenses you so much about this? The fact it might kill 3 people or the fact the it involves a tandem? Do you get this upset over wingsuit rodes and/or wingsuit/canopy docks? Or are they okay since they can only kill 2 people and/or don't involve tandems? Besides why do people assume that a premature would be instant guaranteed black death on the tandem barber polling stunt? Its not like the tandem main is going to instantly launch from the container killing everybody within sight if the person standing on the tandem pair causes a premature. The pull from the drogue is 'wasted' on the person holding on to the drogue bridle and so if that person does manage to dislodge the pins from the main they most likely would notice it and all they have to do is lean back and let go of the bridle.

I've only seen a tandem wingsuit i.e. pax and TI both wore wingsuits. I think it was some French folks who did it. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Bet you can't guess which one is off line.

I've been taught and I teach to always cut away, however when I had troubles with my main PC I didn't cut away and things didn't go very well. On the jump I was watching a student practice tracking. I had set my alarms to 4k, 3k and 2k feet and the student just happened to pull at the 4k beep. I turned away thinking I'll do a little track, however thinking that I shouldn't go too low. Some time after the 3k beep went off I did a really lazy pull from full track, without ever going to box man. I believe the main PC to stuck in my burble somewhere over my ass. Very quickly I realized something is not right i.e. no pull from PC, no main container opening, nothing. So I look back and see nothing. Reach around to my BOC thinking the PC must've gotten stuck and its empty. Also the main container was still closed. As I was reaching around I could feel something touch my arm, which I think was the PC bridle but I really couldn't grab anything. At this point I just mentally gave up on my main PC, since I couldn't reach and couldn't see it. And around that same time I just got this though into my head that I really need some fabric above my head and pretty much instinctively I pulled my reserve handle. For some reason I expected that a terminal reserve opening would pretty much give an instant canopy so when nothing happened instantly I ended up looking behind again too see whats going and then I saw my reserve PC pop up. The weirdest part about that whole sequence was that I could've sworn it lasted tens of seconds but on the video the whole thing happens just few seconds. In fact after landing my first reaction watching the video was that I was too hasty in doing what I did but it didn't really matter at that point anymore. After my reserve opened up I just kind of immediately realized that I was going to have two out so I looked behind me and sure enough I could see my main inflating. Cutting away my main never seemed like a good idea mainly because I was worried about it entangling with my reserve and also the canopies were flying side by side and again I've been taught and I teach not to cut away in that situation. I tried controlling the canopies for a while as I wanted to get to a better landing area and avoid landing into a forest however every time I tried controlling either of the canopies it felt like the whole setup will end up down planing which was my main concern. I didn't realized it in the moment, but afterwards it seemed very obvious that if you have two canopies and you give riser input on only one of them, the other will fly straight and the other will dive away making it seem like they're going to downplane. The whole time as I was under canopy I kept fucking around with the canopies even though I was freaking about ending up with a downplane at a really low altitude. However after my gopro snagged on my reserve toggles twice ( around 1:20 and 1:44 on the video) I finally gave up on trying to control the setup and just let it fly where ever it wanted to go. Luckily I ended up in some nice soft forest and I only got some green from the leaves on the canopies. You can see the video here. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

But things get fucked when these people start pushing through legislation based on their feelings. Kind of like when religious people start demanding laws based on what their imaginary sky friend told them. But I guess that is what democracy ultimately is about. Its not about what is right, correct or just. Its about what the majority wants. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Alright, I'm just going to ask. Guys aren't you worried about your junk?
Arvoitus replied to promise5's topic in The Bonfire
I have a jumpsuit that was made incorrectly due to a measurement error I made. The leg inseam is just slightly too short which makes it very hard to tighten the leg straps tight enough. On one jump with this suit, during free fall I could feel things moving around and I realized that I was having what people are referring to as a nut under. The anticipation of the incoming pain after break off and during the track was actually worse then the actual pain. After that I've taken very good care getting things right.

will a jumpsuit help at this point?
Arvoitus replied to rocketdog's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I don't know if a normal jumpsuit would help you but you could always get one of those latex suits the style jumpers use. Your rights end where my feelings begin. -
When I got my first eyeglasses years ago I kept adjusting them with my middle finger for about a year or so. Doing it with your middle finger just seems so balanced that it really feels very natural to do that. It had no hidden meaning since most of the time there was no one around to see it. Besides its not universally offensive move. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

If you have an agenda its not exactly difficult to get that kind of results, here is an example of British journalist trying to make all Americans look stupid. I have to admit though I love the old guy around 1:38. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Never thought to Google "How to buy weed on teh internetz?!" huh? Nope. Not even once. I'm a geek who has a high security clearance and drug testing hanging over my head. One joint would ruin my professional life and reputation. The ironic thing is I'm eligible for medical marijuana. Out of curiosity since I've never had to piss into a cup to write code, but do they also test for alcohol? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

What is it with hairdressers and very long hair???
Arvoitus replied to Nataly's topic in The Bonfire
2 years? I stopped cutting my hair 3 years before I went to do my military service and my hair was roughly 20 inches long by the time I had to cut it. Your rights end where my feelings begin. -

Isn't that the whole point of old people in politics. They try to grab as much of the money and resources available for themselves regardless of what happens to the future generations. Create shit loads of debt, fuck up the environment and use all the natural resources. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

The video says at 0:49 that the chase planes are F-4's. I wonder if they were there to just to observe or if they were there to take it down if they lose control of it. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

No, people don't earn what they have, they take what they can have. Some people just have better connections and can take more then others. Your rights end where my feelings begin.
