Yeah. For sure - please, don't do that. Yeah make sure to pull at a few THOUSAND feet, not a few hundred. But seriously good luck with it! Youll be fine. Youve been dealing with much more technical canopy flight overthe last few hundred jumps, youre just not gonna know what to do with a huuuge open landing area lol.

i couldn't agree more you only need to separate the 2 on bigger calls. on a SMALL call where one person needs a pickoff it still takes about 5 people AT LEAST, and that dosent include the transport personnel. and thats in practice when you KNOW all you have to do is a SIMPLE pickoff.

Quite right! The extras showed up because they were bored/saw it as an opportunity to get some training, even if just by watching others do it. The guy that got rescued should charge the city for providing the training opportunity. Hi Devil Just what I was thinking If they wanted to they could have just used the "rescue" as a training exercise. Now that done the real deal will they still do the scheduled training exercise next ........so that they can keep current. Lesson learned . The DZ or a friend needs to video the rescue just in case it goes to court.18 guys/gals watching and 3 guys working. Right. have you ever worked on a large scale rescue operation? im willing to guess not, could be wrong. but for all those that haven't ill explain why there's so many people "standing around", just because there's only 3 guys out of 18 working at that given second, it dosent mean that they are they only 3 that have worked or will work throughout the day, many pieces of equipment need set up, broken down, and many positions need filled, like a safety officer to make sure everything is setup according to specs and no one is doing anything stupid, a guy to oversee and command the whole thing (incident commander) then a host of people to implement said plan formed by the IC. it is VERY tiring and labor full work. then you need more people on scene to transport the guy and depending on how bad he is that could be anywhere from one EMT and one paramedic to a EMT driver and 4 medics, ive used both those scnearios and every combo in between, and trust me i LOATHE having more than one other person in the back of my truck unless its ABSOLUTELY necessary, and trust me it has taken 4 medics at once killing ourselves to keep a single person alive. then you need the fire trucks and their personnel, most likely one engine, and one ladder truck, and possibly a heavy rescue, depending on how many people they crew per unit, anywhere from 6 total to 12 total fire people. and if those people are USAR trained, which is the "special operations" of the fire service, then guess what, you gotta get those people there who can do high angle rescue pickoff like needed in this case. since the exact amount of damage to the person cant be fully known till they get him to the ground and examined by that paramedic waiting at the truck doing nothing, its good to play it safe an dhave the extra hands available, because the second you dont, the guy that is alert and talking to you will all of a sudden become unresponsive apenic, and pulseless because he had a laceration to his femoral artery that was being held shut by the pressure of him in his harness, or something off the wall like that. i would MUCH rather have more people than i need than be up to my elbows in shit, behind the eightball with a crashing patient that could have been saved. . . well either way, you get the picture. just food for thought.

haha not one person in my family came up close to right, half of us didnt come up at all, lol! ive moved so much in the last few years, I can barely keep track of myself, so id bet it would be damn near impossible for anyone else to do so.

Never said it was BV.....just that I had an issue with a mod....it happened to be him... My point was simply that some of the mods have been badly bitten by the serious bug, and assign themselves respect that they sometimes haven't earnt, nor deserve. yeah i know, i just wanted to clarify things.

ill prolly get in trouble from the mods for this, maybe, i donno. but just so its clear AS FAR AS I WAS TOLD the name skyrider gave me was NOT billvon. cant say if he had a part in it or not, but hes not the one who dropped the final axe. i wont say who it was, im just saying who it wasnt.

he didnt complain about it, he haphazardly mentioned it, in another thread, to me, and a few others, as a laugh, but evidently one of the conditions was that he was not even able to mention said thread banning. said he missed that part of the memo. i did. above is his answer, lol

yeah im sure they did. if you freeze paintballs you can ramp up the velocity of the gun, past the point where a normal ball would break. im sure thats what they did. but even a normal paintball will leave some pretty big bruises.
