  1. Thanks for the input! Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it. Muff Brother #4382 Dudeist Skydiver #000 www.fundraiseadventure.com
  2. I know and have seen "him" for myself with the landing area being lit up and runway lights.... is there really a big advantage to having a full moon? Landing off I guess there would be but if I land in the lz is there? Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  3. So I have been sitting on a passed D test etc. but I still have never done a group night jump. It seems every time there is a full moon I have something I have to do instead. So here is my question.... with some night jumps under my belt would it be a big deal to do my group one when there is not a full moon? I know it has been done but what is everyone's opinion on doing it. This has been frustrating bc this is all I need to send in my D paperwork.

  13. Great.... The BPA sure seems quick to say "this does not happen in the UK". This is just sad. Horrible for the sport! What do you mean by quick? The BPA didn't solicit this interview. Neither is it the first quote (not that the 'reporter' couldn't have reordered the quotes. Plus he didn't say "this does not happen" he said there had never been a similar incident (which is true, and before anyone says it, yes, of course we do less tandems than the US, ~ 30,000 p.a.) What should he say, that he didn't? Sorry.... translation loss in typing... what I meant by that was they quickly said this has not happened in the UK and pointed out it has happened here before (similar anyway) not faulting him for those quotes.... I would have said the same thing. I meant that he was quick and rightfully so to try and protect skydiving in his country. My bad! Cool. My over defensive mind read it another way. This is why the video didn't need to be public. Putting unnecessary fear into the public. Despite explanation from an expert in the article, the comments clearly demonstrate that large portions of the public don't understand what's being told to them. Plus people will be making money off this video from advertising and traffic to their site. I'm looking forward to doing tandems this weekend Nah....

  16. Tony, I do not disagree with you and in this situation the video flyer could not do anything but I was commenting on him flying in after there was "stability" to see if he could help. I guess with a FUBAR situation like this you never know. He may have been able to do something although not likely so I do get your point but in a situation like that I cannot fault him for coming in for a few seconds to see if he could. I think he realized there was nothing he could do and he backed off. Maybe I am completely wrong and if I am I have no problem being told that and learning from it.

  17. That's what I thought as well and thought maybe she was trying to tell him that but you are 100% correct about the harness... I still cannot believe what I watched.

  18. "Life without parole" can be just as vengeful (or even more so) than the death penalty. "Throw him in a hole," sounds vengeful to me. The decision for either one needs to be a rational, unemotional decision. Any conviction/punishment needs to be. I rationally believe that it would be just to put them in a cell and feed them with maybe an hour of exercise a day..... alone. I agree that could have a revenge attitude but I also feel that I can honestly say that is just rationally.

  19. My dad made a jump at 85, and the TM peeled his hands off. But Dad told me later that he just didn't have his harness held exactly as the TM had said he wanted it (when you're old, you're not always all that flexible), he wasn't saying no. But it only took 2 tries to peel him off -- this was way past that, never mind all the other appalling stuff in the video. Yeah, I'm glad it's out there too. Wendy P. .... and that could be right Wendy. I guess I thought that the TI could hear that she was saying something. He seemed like he acknowledged something she said but maybe not. Only two people know. I just thought that from the videos I have done with older students. It can be tough but maybe she was saying no... either way they should have never left the door for a plethora of reasons.

  20. that kind of post doesn't help the cause for support of reasoned capital punishment - this is exactly why people claim that CP is revenge, rather than a reasoned action with the intent to protect the weak from the predators the decision to execute a criminal needs to be unemotional, thought out completely, reluctant - for the sole purpose of permanently removing a known threat to all law abiding citizens, without even the remote possibility of repeat offenses that any kind on incarceration may allow (as noted in the thread - life without parole can be legislated by each state... so can reversing a law allowing life without parole) I agree with you on this one... may be a first. lol If you would have asked me a month ago though I would not have agreed.

  21. I used to share your views and believe me if someone comes in to my house they are not going to make it out alive. I now just have a problem executing someone. It is not the "cruel" thing with me. I just do not think we should execute people. I do understand your opinion though and I would never say anything other than you view is a valid stance.

  23. Throw them in the hole for the rest of their life. Solitary confinement. They can sleep on the concrete floor. There's no other place in society for those fucks. That's what I think Billy but I do not think it will ever happen. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  24. Had to look him up. Purely emotional response is that I would prefer that he be dead. Purely cognitive response is that I prefer that he be dead. For my entire adult life I have been in favor of the death penalty but I am now changing my tune. I do not like the idea of killing someone anymore but i also do not like that there is a chance a murderer can go free or that they live a life in prison with amenities that they do not deserve. I no longer believe in the death penalty but I also think there should be a serious change in our prison system. I realize that prisoners with nothing to do cause more problems thus I see the need for them to have something to do but I struggle with "how much is too much". I do not have an answer but I will say now that I do not support the death penalty any more but I also do not support someone who murders another to be able to get out of jail or have access to things that they should not have. Our society will never allow prisoners to be thrown in to a hole and fed three squares a day but for murders I think this is what should happen.

  25. This whole jump is just FUBAR but she may have not been saying no. I kind of thought it looked like she was having an issue with her legs. It almost seemed as though they kind of got stuck under her. Only her and that TI will know what really happened but one thing is for sure... that exit should have never happened! If I were the vidiot on that jump I would have had a hard time not trying to do something before the exit but he deserves kudos for trying to help in the air. I still cannot believe what I just watched. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.
