    All that's going to happen if you escalate matters is that he'll call the cops on a safety meeting. The dropzone is a big fat soft target and if you get his attention he'll figure out a way to screw you back. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Where did you degrees come from? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    It's as good as the school, the degree, your grades, but ultimately it's only as good as you make it. The problem isn't the quality of our education it's that American want to be given everything and don't understand how they didn't end up with a Porsch. That's why it's so easy for hardworking people from other countries to take our jobs. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    I would more satisfied having him alive in ma 4 foot by 4 foot room with no windows and no communication with other humans., Now that's suffering. Death is the easy way out for assholes like this guy. Ditto. Shove rice, beans, and a glass of water through the hole twice a day. Pump soapy water from the ceiling when it smells. Dump the body out the bottom when it smells really bad. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    What DOES happen when franchise restaurants and businesses go down is that it allows local businesses to fill the void. Then instead of the profit going to Bennigan's headquarters it's spent within the community. This is why small towns try to keep Wallmart out; it destroys their local business and makes them no different than every town in the country that only has a Shoney's for breakfast, a McDonald's for lunch and a Red Lobster for fancy dinners. Hardware is from Lowes, Food/Clothing/Everything from Walmart. Now, is that the country you love? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Ok, no more messing with you. I think the important thing is knowing what you're dealing with. So here's a little research: CLICK ME! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    They typically lay their eggs in dark places where there is a lot of microscopic biological activity for their young to feast on. These are usually couches, beds, and under toilet seats. So, you'll find them there a lot of the time. Just let them live. They take care of the mites and things that spread disease. I know spiders are theoretically good to have around, but I cant stand being afraid to sleep with the lights off becuase of these damn things. Forgot to add - the underside of desks. Lots of microbial growth for the baby spider so mom and dad spiders stay there too. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Ok, I have not been around the sport for long and therefore haven't been through a USPA BOD election but does it really get that heated? Whooosh! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    How is this an example of something that's wrong with the USPA? Anyone I would vote for should be intelligent enough to know that the internet is a difficult place to discuss anything seriously. People are typically more interested in shredding someone else over exceptions to the rule and put more effort into their online persona than intelligent research and discussion. I would rather see canditates visiting dropzones and finding out what's going on in the trenches than spending their time talking to internet people.

    Bridle knotted round the hackey and choked off most of the pilot chute. Perfectly servicable equipment, just a 'shit happens' on deployment. Same as a collapsed PC. I personally, would check alti, yank out the pin, cut the whole thing away, ensure I'm freed from the mess, and not feel bad about sucking it down. But I'm a ninja.

    What were the circumstances of your PCIT and what are the steps missing in my logic? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. DJL
    Most PC in tows that I personally have witnessed or been told about were because of a misrouted bridle or grommets getting hung up on each other, the remainder were from some other hangup in the main packing tray and the reserve leaving the rig allowed the d-bag to come out, I've also been told that an uncocked PC "should" still deploy the canopy but that sounded pretty weakly worded. If an uncocked PC were paired with a minor hangup then there's another possible scenario. Anyway, my security blanket is that I'm accounting for most situations by going straight to the reserve. I just don't feel like trying to dig my hand up my butt when I'm getting to AAD firing territory. Edit to include Nick's sentiment. Also, if I'm chancing a reserve/main entanglement, I'd rather keep the 1000 ft I would have lost by trying some kind of scuba diver hand swipe.

    Yeah, if you have a ragged out POS-PC, feel free to give yourself a reach-around. And then go get a new PC. Now see this thread for some data on what your PC is supposed to do: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=581766;search_string=pc%20force;#581766 Your example of a ragged out PC was even lamer...

    You need to realize the amount of force that a pilot chute puts on your pin. I'm sure you're all sitting in a chair right now. Try reaching behind the chair with both hands and connecting a single finger together. Now pull with all of your strength. How much force were you able to exert? Now go drive down a highway at 120 mph, throw your pilot chute out the window and try to hold onto it. No, don't actually do that but how just thinking about this will make you understand the forces involved. If the PC didn't pull the bag out then your arm bent at an awkward angle probably isn't going to do anything. Go to your reserve. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Not difficult but it's the kind of thing where you can make a stupid mistake and kill yourself. So, get instruction. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
