I wish I could say that that was my first concert. How cool that must have been Mine was REO/Rainbow 1977. In my defense that was back when both those bands rocked.....Kinda well i'd have to say REO never rocked... but Rainbow? 1977 that would have been Rainbow Rising and some of the concerts for the On Stage double album ..wow..i wish i could have seen that.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you seem to think its all about being cool, which of course perhaps it is for some, but i give a rats ass if you or anyone else thinks it 'cool' or not.. I do freeclimb (when i'm 'current' climbing) and will BASE in the near future.. skydiving was apparently once about finding & pushing your personal limits and the limits of what the "you cant do that its INSANE" wuffos thought couldnt be done as well..to bad to many people with "grandmothers mentalities" have taken over in the interests popularity and profit. how sad. by the tone of your post i guess your goal is to . . . Please try to keep to discussing the issue rather than speculating on what other people's goals are. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

so basically we need regulation to make people recognize the laws of physics still apply?? shouldnt that be done in high school? why is it the USPA's responsibility to inform people that when you fall down you can get hurt? that when you fall down at a high rate of speed you can be hurt very badly?? that any time someone you know gets killed its emotionally tramatic and maybe you should think about that before you put your friends and familly in that possible position? why is the USPA responsible for making skydivers understand the basic facts of life??? if someone hasnt learned that by age 16 or so..their parents must have REALLY kept them on to short a leash ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Luigi landed the VX46 already. so if (and thankfull he didnt.) he had injured himself doing so do you think he would have said "i thought i could handle it"? i find it hard to believe that anyone (without a death wish) consistantly takes risks they dont think they could handle..and i fail to see why anyone who admits that they screwed up when they are injured calls for regulation to prevent them from hurting themselves again.. perhaps they just shouldnt have taken the risk in the first place if they werent prepared for the consequences of failure? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

here we completely agree.. i guess we are mostly just arguing over the point at which we as a community "stop holding your hand" and let you take your own chances.. i dont think anyone ever attempts a turn, jump etc.. with the intention/ mindset of "i might not be able to handle this" of course they think they can everytime, confidence (even misplaced) is an important part of success...if you didnt would you try it at all?? To find the edges of your personal envelope, and to expand it you have to take chances that you might not pass...at some point someone will try to land a sub 50 sq ft canopy..if they dont succeed i would fully expect them to still say "i thought i could handle it" becasue if they didnt they never should have tried in the first place.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Pressure to give up skydiving ?!
Zenister replied to linuxguy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
agreed. i love kids, other peoples. When they manage them. a single guy a saw jumping with his son at the DZ once..asked a packer if she'd watch his kid while he jumped.. her look was priceless..but even better was her response.... "dude, i'm on birth control for a reason." at least half the FF corner fell out... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -

The only number I have to look at is to see who is getting hurt/killed and why. Who? Guys with less than 500 jumps. Why? Not enough skill or experience. so when/if your proposed BSR is in place and the same number of fatalities under good open canopies is confined mostly to 500+ jumpers with high wingloading.. you'll be ok with that??? because they've now met your 500 jump number to be a "skydiving adult" and are now allowed to take any risks they want regarding canopy choices and flight/landings styles? what if the number of fatalities goes up?? what if we have 25 in one year all with 500+ jumps?? will you then accept that people are taking risks they KNOW about and are still dying because of the choices THEY made? or will you call for more restriction?? because "to many people are dying making decisions that are to risky" for you?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

The really curious thing is the number of people who are for a regulation that doesn't affect their own behavior. and perhaps the number of people who by virtue of being older and perhaps having increased outside responsibilities are not as likely to desire to increase their acceptable risk level.. as i said to be meaningful everyone SHOULD post jump #s /WL (ie will it affect you) age / # of responsibilities (to determine if you are someone who is likely to desire to "push the envelope") granted there are most probably older people with kids who DO desire to fly napkins, that may (are more likely too) kill them, but they are few in number. everyone calling for regulation should look at their personal reasons for wanting to "be safer" & "take less risks" and realize not everyone else has those same reasons, and may want to push the envelop farther than others think sane... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

so would the children be better off with a mother who slaved at a job she hated, brought the anger home and "played it safe" by never taking risks that make her happy just for the sake of the children? what happens when that same mother (who never takes risks..) gets killed steping off a curb? you cant live your life if your afraid of losing it.. tragedy happens..might as well enjoy the moments you have while your alive....and get life insurance for when your not, because no matter how you die someday someone you care about will have to figure out how to live without you... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -
