    Based off practical experience, flattening your body with both arms and legs parallel to each other and fully extended has been shown to have a better recovery rat and more control than the traditional dead spider.

    I agree the guy sounds like an asshat. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Have you tried these yet? http://www.itsiticecream.com/ They are unbelievable! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. diablopilot
    I get to know the pilots and find out how the place is run first. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. diablopilot
    obviously it isn't. It does. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You miss the point. A "skydiver" would make a point of finding out what kind of pilots a DZ has, and make good informed decision as to jump there or not. Of ourse that might take some "effort", or "social skills" which jumpers seem to be sorely lacking. Hence the "lawsuits". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I've never had trouble telling when I need to, and I've never seen Billy drink and fly. The only loads I've done with him were out of his Helo, and he is an excellent pilot. I'd suggest that a "skydivers" do more than buy gear, manifest, and jump. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I know the pilots I ride with. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. diablopilot
    Why would you get on a jump plane with a pilot who was intoxicated? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Skydivers don't sue. They take personal responsibility for their safety, and make choices accordingly. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Not by mine, nor many I've talked to. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Gotta say I disagree with that theory though. Wing loading and proper training and pratice is the way to solve that issue. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Stable. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That's what I was gonna guess..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. diablopilot
    Maybe, but competition does some strange things to the thought process as well. People will push a bad situation harder because it "counts". I know I've been there. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. diablopilot
    As far as things go, it doesn't seem like a whole lot to sue for..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I agree completely. However I feel the least bit threatened by someone that blew a .08 or anything less than .10 Now someone staggering to thier car is a different story, But .08?? Two beers or one - maybe Two mixed drink can put a 100 LB person at .08. As I get older I find I have far less tolerance for ANY level of inebriation by a driver. How about your pilots start drinking? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    DUI is DUI. Justifying it is deplorable. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    3.3lbs ^ft ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. diablopilot
    So there was a failure of ATC to provide adiquate seperation, and your CRJ pilot failed to allow for a wide enough margin to the existing jump opperation, and you think the Twin Otter ought to have TCAS? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. diablopilot
    I guess I stand corrected. I had thought Icarus went to PD's sizing some years ago, or atleast that's what they said at PIA 2001. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. diablopilot
    Think it will be even that much? Remember a reserve is suposed to be TSO'd to open withing 300 ft or 3 seconds no matter the airspeed of deployment..... Oh and SkyHooks can and do fail to operate on occasion people, betting your life on one in a low cuttaway? Better figure out your options earlier. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The JVX sizing method is not the same as other manufacturers, so in reality an 87 JVX is bigger than an 87 VX. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. diablopilot
    Have you ever jumped an Interceptor? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You were wearing spandex shorts again huh? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
