Yaa, back in the 80s we would do that, but it kinda died out cause you would get really F'd Up and pass out and loose a whole day. You couldn't function at all. I doubt you would even be able to get on a plane so it's not even relevant on tis thread Faster, Faster, Faster Till the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death

As a PO here in Canada, I can tell you that I have been to many scenes where dealers have had a transaction gone bad and the result has been a body in the ditch that we have to deal with. I wonder if those people would have died if it had been a legal transaction? O then you wouldn't have a job either Just saying Faster, Faster, Faster Till the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death

I have flown lots of times with my rig carry on no problem even to Okinawa and back. If you have a Cypress bring the TSA card. Most Security have seen rigs but if you have a problem just ask for a supervisor. 99% of them have been trained. I always put it under the seat in front of me, that way if I need it fast it’s right there. In Japan they did a sniffer test but I shoot bow so nothing came up.

Hay, I’m not arguing for or against smoking pot. I just don’t like paying $75 for a skydive. I would rather we make it legal and Tax the people $15 billion so I can do 3 times as many sky dive next year. I think that is money way better spent don’t you?

In The US on average Killed in airline crashes (of 477m passenger trips) 120 (1) Killed by Anthrax 5 Killed by scuba 19 Killed by skydiving 30 Killed by lightning strikes 90 Killed by murders 15,517 Killed by the common flu 20,000 Killed in car accidents 42,116 Killed by the effects of alcohol 100,000 Killed by a doctor 195,000 Killed from the effects of marijuana: “None” Us Law enforcement spent $15 billion in 2010 on marijuana $15,000,000,000 divided by $25 (price of a skydive) = 6 million skydives or roughly twice as many that were done last year in the US. So basically whether you smoke pot or not, you paid $75 dollars per skydive so nobody could die from the effect of the people that do.

Quotename some, that went fatal or sustained injury due to rsl. Don't forget about the three fatal reserve entanglements last year. Oh sure you can take the out, “That is pure speculation,” but there is no speculation to the fact that they are Dead and maybe we should have the experts which, ‘I am Not,’ look again and maybe rethink the use and application of the RSL. Again I’m not against the use of an RSL, but it is MY Opinion, if you’re going to promote them then you need to give as much weight to their HAZARDS Faster, Faster, Faster Till the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death

Where does an AAD fire again? Well Sir, I was under a PERFICTLY good reserve at 1200 feet and not kicking out of a line twist and I'm pretty sure my Cypress would have fired at 1000 if I had done nothing because I remember the feeling of how cool it was being back in free fall that low and accelerating. If you want, you can see a video of my 1st cutaway and were I pulled the reserve a couple of seconds before I should have but it still came out okay but it would have been a real mess if I had an RSL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLebpl4PRQc Faster, Faster, Faster Till the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death

“”In this latest issue, Mr. Sitter repeatedly acknowledges the pros for the use of an RSL even to the point of saying, “there would have been fewer deaths in 2011 if the jumpers had used one,” but only briefly acknowledges the cons. He fails to acknowledge that the jumpers who die, including the Tandem pair (Meaning TWO) and a single jumper whom experienced the main/reserve entanglement, most probably had an RSL that deployed their reserve before clearing the main. What I gathered from the report was only one jumper could not find her reserve handle before impact. “” Read the full story in: Forums: Skydiving: General Skydiving Discussions: RSL/NO RSL?

Hi every one I’m not normally that vocal about anything and most of the time I keep my opinions to myself but the other day I got my latest issue of “Parachutist” mag and as always the April issue has last year’s Fatality Summary by Paul Sitter. Now before I get too much into my opinion/issue, I want to qualify; I fly a sub-100 canopy with a little over 2200 jumps, hold an AFF instructor rating for 1 year, have been in the sport less than 5, have had 3 cutaways and my rigger has 3 saves obviously. So compared to Mr. Sitter I am still novice and that’s okay by me. In this latest issue, Mr. Sitter repeatedly acknowledges the pros for the use of an RSL even to the point of saying, “there would have been fewer deaths in 2011 if the jumpers had used one,” but only briefly acknowledges the cons. He fails to acknowledge that the jumpers who die, including the Tandem pair (Meaning TWO) and the ingle jumper whom experienced the main/reserve entanglement, most probably had an RSL that deployed their reserve before clearing the main. What I gathered from the report was only one jumper could not find her reserve handle before impact. Now back to “MY” opinion/ issue, I don’t want people to think I am totally 100% against RSL’s because I am not. Student gear and jumpers who jump mains with less than a 1:1.5 wing loading I highly recommend them. But as you down size, line twists turn into spinning on your back and revolutions increase causing horizontal 360s upon release of your main, the chance for a double malfunction becomes a reality with the use of an RSL. I have found it better to get stable (belly to Earth), then pull the reserve and allow it to have the best chance of a good opening. All three of my cutaways were on a sub-100 canopy with line twists spinning on my back. My last cutaway was at 1800 feet, main deployment at 2500ft, and open under a perfect reserve by just taking that extra 5 seconds to get stable after spinning three rotations after my cut away. Just so no one is confused, the RSL has saved many lives and I only express this opinion so as to give the whole story of the use of an RSL. I just want you to know that there are hazards to an RSL that are not mentioned. God Speed to those that have perished in our sport.
