    It seems that they wouldn't have to. If "it passes into your breast milk at concentrations similar to those found in your bloodstream" they could just check her BAC.

    They did an alcohol level check on her breast milk? Wow... Sure, you’ve heard of blood alcohol content (BAC) well this is MAC. And then I found this. "There's no level of alcohol in breast milk that's considered safe for a baby to drink. When you drink alcohol, it passes into your breast milk at concentrations similar to those found in your bloodstream." http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/breast-feeding-and-alcohol/AN02131

    Maybe that is why we need this. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/16/us-china-cows-idUSTRE75F10K20110616

    Would it make you feel any better if shah said he doesn't want to date any dads either?

    Not easy getting jumps living in Key West. I guess you can't wait for the Keys Boogie every year. And don't worry about looking you up, I can't not stop in there. Thanks.

    At 0:17 do I see another group tracking right below the group in the video?

    we would all be flying jet packs by now. Not sure this is what they were talking about but I’d give it a shot.

    Can’t argue that.

    We can work around that. Well actually I can't. 46, no children and a vasectomy and I'm okay with that.

    They should have the knowledge to land safely off dz without assistance, shouldn't they? Isn't that taught in the FJC? then they shouldn't need radio at all right? Yep. And as all FJ methods should be teaching, the radio is a backup device only, to assist IF possible. I agree 100%. Funny how in the “Archway Skydiving Sued” thread there are some people that believe (if you follow their train of thought) that if the radio failed because the batteries were incorrectly installed and the student got hurt the radio manufacturer is somehow responsible.

    you should have checked your spot and not jumped. especially with your experience. And with your experience, you should know that we don't always get to pick our own spots, especially so on giant big-way dives. Someone else picks the spot, and if you want to succeed in making the group formation, everyone else has to trust that spotter and exit according to plan. You don't have the luxury of every single jumper pausing in the door and looking down, to make their own individual determination about whether or not the spot is good. That's true even on smaller dives, like 20-ways out of an Otter, or an Otter with multiple groups. Sometimes you get the spot that someone else gave you. And since we're all human, sometimes those spots aren't perfect. If you (generic "you") have been in the sport any length of time, and have never made an imperfect spot, don't be too sanctimonious, because sooner or later, you will. What he said.

    A few years ago doing bigways in Florida on an attempted 160 way I went into a cloud a few seconds after break-off. I don’t remember my break-off altitude (5500 maybe) but I was in the second ring. Did my best to stay straight and track my ass off. I knew from our previous jumps as long as the outer ring tracked as they had been I wouldn’t catch them but damn that was scary. Seemed like forever. Didn’t come out of it until I was going through about 2 grand. Took a furious look around while waiving like a madman and dumped. My altitrak reads a deployment altitude of 1620. I landed on the golf course. Dumb, dumb, dumb. We sat for the rest of the day.

    Thanks, Strat...I learned that from you way back and I still do it exactly that way, too. That is how I was taught. No clue I was getting a radio until I was geared up.

    That was wrong. Don Imus should have been fired because he sucks.

    Why was Treetop (Don Jardine, dj123) calling himself Jim Brown? Does anybody have the full Pokemon collection of his aliases over the years? Cloudseeder Lordofthesky dj123 Jim Brown Turbineterry I don't think he ever actually used Treetop on here. Any others?

    I would think following the student would be a good idea unless it is going to put the instructor into a dangerous situation. The student should be trained to land without the radio. Radios fail, off dz landings make radio impossible. With that being said, in this situation I believe it looks like the student is going to make it back to the airport (an airport) if not the landing zone specifically. See attached. The yellow circle is the student, the red circle is the cutaway and the green outline is the end of the runway. If the instructor saw the student was making it to a safe landing area I could see him following the canopy.

    That is great. I am glad it is working out. Have fun.
