Society and Skydiving Related Injuries
Zenister replied to scaryshari's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
when i broke myself my boss asked me if i was 'done' jumping.. I asked him if he sold his horses when one stepped on and broke his foot. 2 years later you wouldnt know i'd ever femured, (if i didnt have an x ray in my office) he's had 5 surgeries in the 3 years since his incident and he still walks with a 'hitch'. labelling another's activities 'crazy' helps some people justify their own uncontrolled fears... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed. -
-signed. i've never had any issues with PD or their canopies, however i do my own research and data collection to decide what i buy from who, at what price... without published prices to weigh my decision against, PD removes their products from future consideration for the most part, there isnt anything magical about PD that makes the lack of data/pricing more acceptable from them or any other manufacturer. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

How much water is too much? Brie Word down in ChinaTown says 8, but it's what your body tells you NOT what people tell you - it's your body not theirs. And, I am serious. ridiculous.. pretty much everyone's body needs the same level of hydration to run best. because you've gotten used to operating partially dehyrdrated doesnt mean your body really needs less.. it is EXTREMELY hard to overhydrate.. yes it can be done, but its very difficult. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

the Leave form counts as an approved directive from your command. Follow its guidelines. If the Command is so backwards as to have signed a leave form that disagrees with a verbal directive, you have conflicting orders.. there is certainly some legal wiggle room if that is the case, but burning your command on this (or any other issue, even when your are 'right by regs') you can expect to be on the "Zero Slack list" for a long while... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

might want to look at options such as this.. http://www.goflapless.com/html/flapless.html this is the place that did mine.. but i'm more pointing toward the technique that should be available elsewhere.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

agreed, Sean has an amazing ability to recognize when someone isnt 'getting it' and adjust his explanation, examples and drills for each student.. that is a key factor in any form of coaching.. he's also an amazingly cool person as well... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i feel much the same way about warning labels on skydiving equipment as Douglas Adam's fictional character did about operating instructions for toothpicks.. the fact that they seem 'needed' at all depresses what little hope i hold for mankind... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

so how do "Tunnel" suits fare in the sky? i know alot of 'normal' skydive suits have 'extra' material that beats the hell out of the fliers neck when upright (so a few coaches i know have made waist harnesses to keep them in place) but what i'm wondering if its possible to make a "Tunnel" suit that will still have enough 'play' to fit comfortablly under a rig without restricting my range of motion? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Jumping with a slightly injured leg?

so you are unwilling to recognize that ALL of the fundamental myths contained in Christianity existed in other Religions BEFORE yours was created by "Paul"? i expect so, as you are also equally unwilling to even Study any religion other than your own..... why is that? are you afraid of what you might find? do you think its coincidence that so many religions (including your own) have prohibitions against such discussion/discovery? i'll give you a hint... Education and Enlightenment reduces Influence.. Lack of Influence equals lack of Control.. Religions care about Control... God on the other hand would have no need to.... the primary reason you should look to ALL of Man's religions is to separate the teachings of Man from those of God...not an easy task to be sure, particularly when you absolutely firmly believe that your “Apple Pie” Religion is the One True Way... even if one were to show you a Pumpkin pie and illustrate the process by which it is made (so strikingly similar to that of your Apple) would you still claim it was "false Pie" and did not share the greater principle applied to all Pie? What would change your mind? To be honest, is it even open for more wisdom? or would it be water poured in the sand as your 'cup' is full already?? ignorance really should be painful.. then few would willingly remain so.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

for all their power and depth they can express....words do little to consol, saying them often seems a waste of breath, but in order to say them at all, you have to BE THERE in one form or another... and that means more than words can express... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

right before my own lights go out.. at that point i'll be too busy for anyone else... up until then i'll take everyone i can.. (well everyone I like) as a friend, and not worry about the "what happens when the world spins without you" thoughts, as they do nothing to add to anyone's experience...... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

very good question.. why dont you start asking Christian "leaders" that? Religion, however has a great deal to do with politics, and power.. and "Paul" recognized this as he went about creating his religion.... i'm glad you dont think(not really, if more people thought we'd have less Religion, but i'm glad you dont assume about me as you dont have the experince to begin to make such judgements)... as you'd be very wrong.. i've discovered more about Man, Myself, Religion and Divinity by my study of Man's "experience and interaction" with Divinity than i ever did in any Christian based Education Indoctrination System "Go to the Source"? you mean YOUR source? aka the Bible?.. lol you havent been reading this discussion very throughly have you?.. the Bible is hardly the "Source" any more than any other Religious text is "The Source". It IS a source of insight and wisdom but only the insight and wisdom of Christianity's... not that of God... generally the more discomforting or threaten something is, the more interesting i find it, as facing those feelings directly is a prime method of self discovery. I find neither of those in your Religion, having "been, there, done that" and recognized at a very early age (to early to be able to extricate myself unfortuntely) that there is far more than your chosen Religion knows or claims to know… perhaps when you've discovered the real basis for Mythos that Christianity is founded on you'll understand better... but you have to BREAK YOUR VASE.... and look outside the fields you know to learn anything new... btw.. God wont "see to" anything... but she might smile if/when you learn, look for yourself, use the abilities given you instead of following the herd (an amazingly apt metaphor for the Christian faith.. its surprising so many repeat it so often and fail to recognize the irony.) and in doing so become more than you were before you started..... and the bet was a jump ticket, aka a jump. aka an actual experience.... i'll be happy to credit your account at your dropzone if you like (PM me info if you want, i do pay my bets) or you can claim it in Eloy whenever, or from me if you wander into me (i'll be wandering about some soon so it may happen) as i have no interest in lining your (or anyone else's) pockets, but I am interested in helping anyone expand their experience, and by proxy, my own.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

its sad that your christian apologetics at CARM cant use consistent rational thought process or critical analysis, but then that is what makes them believers and not historians or scholars.. absence of an 'expected' occurrence or event is in no way evidence of timeline.. Real Historians know this, and accurately place the Gospels where they belong WELL AFTER the events they claim to record would have occurred... Christian Apologists ignore this and make up facts and supposition to fit their beliefs and deride real scholars who base their statements on Historical Evidence instead of belief driven supposition ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
