    Some of us 'geeks' just decided instead to give HH a break to clean up some things in this forum he provides all of us (for free). That's why some of us geeks chose to leave the 'back door' alone. Thanks again Sangiro!!

    As always I'm wishing bad karma on the scum that would steal/sabotage life saving devices we all call our gear/kit.

    If not for skydiving I would porbably have to return to my old job as an erotic dancer at the school for the blind. 'If you die before me can you ask if they'll let you bring a friend?" ~unknown

    Sorry just one more... (see attached) In the plane @ 9000' fellow skydivers might not be as forgiving!! 'If you die before me can you ask if they'll let you bring a friend?" ~unknown

    IMHO in this sport the quality of product should always come before any company policy or customer service record or bad attitide I get. You can usually get an idea of quality of certain products by talking to those in our sport v.s. some sales/marketing pitch by a manufacturer. That friendly sales person isn't going to save my life at crunch time......the product will. Just my opinion. "...and then they took away my Swingline stapler" ~ Office Space

    Sorry to revisit the original subject. It's been a couple years since camping in the rain back in Quincy but if I recall 'the gatherings' used to occur around the beer trailer...usually somewhere after midnight.

    Thanks for sharing that ITdiver. I'd always held to the oldskool thought that it takes more energy (battery) to turn it off than to let it run out. mmmmm.... Those who drive through mountains take note. Those who travel through flat desert take note. "...and then they took away my Swingline stapler" ~ Office Space

    Sorry to cross post this but come on.... Agreed. Pretty messed up stealing anyone's gear. It was even more shocking to hear about Virk Verner's sabotaged rig at Archway a few years back. To make it even worse somebody else (a fun jumper) ended up jumping it!! Then if it couldn't get worse there were a couple copy cats one of which resulted in a fatality if I recall . The FBI were involved in all cases for attempted murder. Makes all of us look real good to the public.... "...and then they took away my Swingline stapler" ~ Office Space

    Just curious why altitude would factor into your decision to cut away from a downplane? If you are in a downplane, you are gonna hit the ground hard unless you cut away _________________________________________________ I've witnessed a guy with 20 jumps ride a down plane in that started right around 80-100 ft. He broke is ankle. That was it. When I say altitude I'm talking about 100' or below. I mean, if my canopies start to down plane at 50' I might strike mother earth at a slower rate of speed by staying with what I got rather cut away at 50'. This is just my humble opinion (I welcome other thoughts on this). It would certainly have to be a very quick decision made and a situation I'd rather never find myself in. Now if they start to down plane around 100' or above HELL YES!! I'm cutting away. Just read Lindsey's post above^^^^^^^^^^^...chopping it might just save my life!!! ~Peace "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong

    1900 jumps Never had two out. Don't know if there's really a concrete answer to this one. imho it would depend on the situation. My personal plan: Canopies side by side~ I might try to steer main away from reserve using front risers. IF it clears I would cut-away main. Main in front of Reserve~ I flying straight I wouldn't touch a thing and go where ther take me. Unless of course I found my self in a down plane, which I would cut away from dependant on altitude.

    Damn it PLF!!!!!!!! Why did you have to go and make me cry again??? If they do leave , they should skate away with great and well deserved pride!!!! Thank you for your great contributions over the years gentlemen!!! (Speaking of which; was I seeing things or did Coach Bowman skate around carrying Lord Stanley tonight?...ummm...he's like 68 yrs old??? Other winning coaches just walk/carry it around the ice? If he was skating.. that's just WAY TOO COOL!!!) "This is the 4th time I've been late for work this week!!...and it's only Tuesday!" ...Cheech and Chong
