Only if you don't want an increased chance of malfunctions, or hard opening resulting in injury. Other than that, go for it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

First of all, tell that to the Washington Times. Second, it's not. Third, why should the ATF be granted ANY special powers for something that's not even in their jurisdiction? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Insurance brokers warning to DZO's/Plane owners
diablopilot replied to PhreeZone's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What possible good will that do to improve the amount of reports being sent in??? Or does that mean remove their instructional ratings, not the S&TA label? +1. The day the USPA BOD threatens me, an S&TA who is trying to make things better while being slandered and harassed by jumpers, and pressured by DZO's, is the moment they loose the last shred of support I have left. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
If it's sign offs that I can simply verify, then no, but if I'm doing training, then yes I get paid. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Why is it silenced? Because it's loud otherwise. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'm sure the following debate will be short, to the point, supported by facts and definitive. http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/handgun-stopping-power/ http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/handgun-stopping-power-page-2/ ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What's your point? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

No reason not to own one, just understand the limitations. They were designed in the 80's and 90's and are not designed to handle high speed deployments or high wingloadings. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Oh, my bad. You should have told me you're special. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

No, that happened 8 years ago. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

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

Aww, the reality of what you're getting into might sober you enough to reconsider your desire to participate in a possibly deadly activity? Dang. Wouldn't wanna harsh your feelings dude. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

More specifically "Mil Spec" rubber bands. They break when you need them to, rather than cause a bag lock. A Freebag does use a bungie stow, but it's not connected to the bag at all there for it pulls free if needed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Last time I checked helmets were not required on tandem jumps. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

1,000 tandems and no chops? Please buy my next lottery ticket. Not all that odd. 2400 Tandems before my first tandem chop. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Why would you wrongly assume someone who does not have a need, but rather a desire for tactical training would be more poorly trained? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Yeah, if you believe their training and methods were worth a shit. The were not. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Take it to terminal and jump on a calm wind day? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

When will the NRA be designated as a Terrorist Organization???

That's impossible, NYC has banned guns. Well except for the cops. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
Lean. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Step 1. Keep it on ice. Step 2. At the end of the day of jumping, grab a seat near the bonfire or hang out area, open one and proceed to drink, and offer on to anyone who walks by. :-) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Barrel Roll on Trackoff - Skydive Radio Interview
diablopilot replied to kkeenan's topic in Safety and Training
This is the crux of it and is worth repeating. No one drives on the highway using the rear view mirror to navigate. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
I call it the Nerfing of the sport, Bill Booth would call it his third law of skydiving. Essentially the more accesible and "safer" the sport becomes, the lower the skill, judgement, and intelligence levels required to participate are, and when subsequently the safety net breaks down, the result is people who can't handle dynamic situations. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

10 years in. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I would be honored to participate...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
