I know this suggestion is WAY out there but, I haven't heard you say anything like "after I read all the directions" I still couldn't make it work. Maybe assuming it is a toy, reading the full directions is not part of the procedure... Life is short ... jump often.

Using the no witness knowledge, who's to say "this" didn't happen. Older guy up the hill from the younger guy. Older guy doing nice "S" turns basically downhill thinking, wow I could dust that kid just for fun ( cause I'm a dick head ). Gets closer and closer to the cut off point and chokes at the crossing not leave any space. Kid runs over his skis ( or small collision ) but he is now the downhill skier....must be the kids fault. No one there to say otherwise.... Life is short ... jump often.

QuoteOnce the 3M tape sets for 24 hrs or so, it won't come off, even when you wish it would when a pilot chute bridle is wrapped around a camera. It won't be too hard to find your camera because it will still be attached to your helmet, which will be on the ground somewhere. As stated above, get a chin cup cut away system, and hope you never need to use it. Life is short ... jump often.

Does your DZ try to guilt you if you have a cutaway?
jumpsalot-2 replied to -SK-'s topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Was it windy ( drifting cut-away ) ? Was it city-ish where it might land in a backyard somewhere, or country-ish where it would likely be found the next day laying in a field close by ?.......If you need to cut-away, cut-away....... Life is short ... jump often. -

Germans Can't Fathom US Aversion to Obama's Healthcare Reform

QuoteI was trying to think of a way to spit it out.....these are the exact words....the people who would argue this fact are lost in the manipulation so deeply, they can't see (or admit that they see) it anymore......stop making billionaires out of the pharma companies and health insurance companies......we are the losers in that game......they are the winners.....and laughing (at us) all the way to the bank....

Lmao Really, though. They could make a large brittle floating plateform with boxes on top that they could put on the Z-hills swoop pond. This way if the boxes fail, then at least the water will be of some cushioning... ...some... QuoteThat is actually an excellent plan....a back-up soft spot, so to speak....at least on a first attempt. Maybe the WS Pilot will read this section, and consider your idea...

Hola! (And questions about picking a DZ)
jumpsalot-2 replied to DroppingDoctor's topic in Safety and Training
Your English spelling and grammer are better than most on this site (USA teaching system sucks). Of the two DZ's, my gut says go to the smaller DZ. Mostly because of the mis-leading ad from the first DZ. Go visit them at least, look at the equipment and aircraft. You can tell if either are old and wore-out. Just check out the vibe. You have nothing to lose with that......Good luck. Life is short ... jump often. -

I'm not the most educated around, but I have tried to un-tie a Surgeon's Knot or two........good luck getting it apart if you've tied it correctly. If you tied your shoes with one, well.............. Life is short ... jump often. -

^This. Well, considering we're the most destructive of the species, one could argue we are excluded from it in a special way. The special way that we are dumbest shit of all animals, dragging our species and every other species down with us. Quote....1000, +1's......

Would you have supported the Police if they'd shot him?
jumpsalot-2 replied to Skyrad's topic in Speakers Corner
Anyone who carries a real or fake pistol in plain sight better be ready to be shot by Police or in the USA.....shot by any gang member who feels like letting a round off. You might not die, but then again you might. Is it worth it ? Just to show off in front of your friends ( which this guy was doing in my opinion ). I voted yes to shoot by the Police.....it's you or them..... Life is short ... jump often.
