A Skyvan is easy too. Face the front of the plane and take a big step backward and you'll be right into the relative wind. well when you exit a 182, otter or pac, you can either do a floating or diving exit, depending on what youre in, but both ways you can feel the wind before you actually jump. in the skyvan, you feel nothing. just wierds me out, thats all, lol.

and here i was thinking i was the ONLY person in the world who hates the skyvan. yeah its big and you can stand up, but the whole lack of a relative wind thing just gets me. never jumped a 182 but ill take a PAC or an otter over the flying box any day.

thank you. but when you move "merchandise" on the scale of Miami Vice, thats the crowd you roll with. yeah, still dont make it suck any less. so true. losing your best friend at 18 (he was 22) really makes life...different. really sucks, cause he was skydiving, and a pilot...which is what I am today. we would have had so much fun. yeah, from the time i was 18-22ish, we lost a close friend of our group about every 4-6 months, literally. man that shit got old fast! all different things, car wrecks, 4wheeler wreck, motorcycle wrecks, drowning, one were still not sure how he died . . . the list goes on. yeah loosing someone close does make it "different" Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

lmao! pizza an dbacon would make me hungry tho. id prolly wanna eat more than be fatter than i am now! i could go for the one that smells like a plane exhaust. that smell makes me smile, maybe because its tied with skydiving? i like the fresh sawdust idea too. that one would be good as well.

Que the conspiracy theorists in 3...2...1... Seriously, it would be a good idea in theory. I keep my rather extensive medical history on a flash drive on my keychain. i agree. sure as hell save on trying to figure out who the hell people are. maybe get one of those star trek scanner thingies that tells whats wrong with the person too. trying to come up witha diagnosis and treatment plan for some people is just plain tough. haha Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.

I personally look for tattoos tha are visible because lots of people have their last name tattooed on them or something useful. Yeah it COULD be useful, i mean personally i like the idea. Thwt way its there no matter what, and cant be removed and set aside like most things. Problem is, over time, tattoos fade. But that takes years. If youre into tattoos and the like and have somethin like tha then yeah, id say go for it. Now do get me wrong if i see a TRUE medic alert bracelet, the standard silver one i migh check what its about, depending on the call. The necklace dog tag lookong things, well those are always inthe way so they get ripped (did i say ripped, i mean gently removed, along with all your other clothes that we gently take you out of) away and set aside.

Which is what my patch says. LOL

interesting concept. again, its most likely going to get buried under something. but it cant hurt either way. as far as the blood thing goes, they wont pay attention to it anyway, uless they have CONCRETE proof of your type and cross. because a transfusion reaction because someone accidently put the wrong type/cross on something, is easily a FATAL mistake. if you need blood that bad, i guarntee they are going to pump you full of O NEG until they can do their own type/cross. and verify that you are what you say you are. and even then theres EXTREMELY strict protocols following blood administration as to the initial rates of flow, signatures, checking and doubble checking, all that. a hemolytic transfusion reaction on top of major trauma is almost a guaranteed death sentence, and a BIG law suit, which most doctors try to avoid.

if its shaped and looks like a standard dog tag then YEP. ive seen those ones that they sell in CVS or various over the counter places, such as "diabedic, heart condition. . . blah blah blah" yeah we ignore those. they dont affect my treatment of you in ANY way. youre still getting the standard 2 large bore IV's high flow oxygen, accucheck, and 5 lead cardiac monitor. along with whatever splinting/bleeding control you need. or further treatment. . . im telling you what your best option is. Aggie has told you, we both deal with this on a DAILY basis. i mean by all means, get them if you want them but please dont bet your life on us seeing them.

ok, these are a GREAT idea in premise, but as a practicing paramedic, i can tell you, we dont check. if it looks like a dog tag im betting it gets removed one way or another and set aside, most likely buried in the bag of clothes weve just cut off you. if you want something that will be SEEN by us and the doctor, put a card in your wallet ON TOP, (literally) your drivers liscense or ID. because we root through your wallet to find out who and how old you are, and any way to contact your next of kin, and once we get to that we stop. now as far as the skydiving thing, yeah i could see digging in the reserve tag pocket to try to find someones id, so if you are going to have something, stick it there. ive not had to work any unconsious/dead skydivers yet, THANK GOD, but if i did, that would be where i looked first. then id go for a wallet. but all these fancy tags and keychains ill most likely never look at, because im too busy doing 14 thousand other things, trying to save you. just some food for thought.
