Now that there's been a little discussion ... a little more info from the actual (non-hypothetical) day that I observed this (at Z-Hills, FWIW). The day in question came immediately following a day where almost the whole day was rained out. (I was curious to see if some people would say "It would depend on how many jumps I'd gotten in that weekend"). I don't have actual wind speed numbers, nor do I know if the folks on the plane received that much detail. Most of the fun jumpers chose to ride down with the tandems. A few didn't. There were two planes in the air at the time - I believe that one plane got the message successfully, one didn't. After watching the load that didn't get the message land (and the few stragglers that chose to land from the load that did), 20 of the 23 people in the loading area walked back in. At that point, the DZ shut down operations for the day, anyway. I started this discussion because I'm really curious what it takes for people to stand down. Tandems go up in conditions that cause a lot of others on the dropzone to sit down - they're usually the last to "call it" on account of wind. To me, if the dropzone is willing to give up the revenue of a tandem (and in particular, if a dropzone is willing to eat the cost of sending up and bringing down half a plane load of tandems), the wind has gotten pretty far beyond what most jumpers should be up in. The recent incident in Greensburg (where the jumper had one biffed landing due to what he described in his own logbook as "funky" winds, yet chose to jump again and paid the price) got me to thinking ... how do people decide when they've had enough of the winds? you know my decision thats why I was standing on the ground with you watching most of the load bif in You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

didn't they land that raft on the side of a mountain?? You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
-
I saw a video a while back. Someone in the center of the raft got clam shelled by the raft when front and rear persons bailed. After struggling for a few seconds you see a hand come out of the raft with a pilot chute in it. the deploying canopy pulled the person out of the raft. That could have ended very badly. Always get someone with experince to help with the dive plan. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

Truth hurts! If he is running errands, he's already lost. Then he forgets what he's doing. "...on aisle 4, we have another confused guy wearing a UGA sweatshirt..." Perhaps he should just sit out on the bench outside the pharmacy and hold her purse while she runs in... damn Bill you got this shit down pat and your not even married You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

I was thinking of grilling up some dead horse with my popcorn. Anyone have a good recipe? I find it's ordinarily a little tough, but after everyone's done beating it, it usually tenderizes it a bit. Krisanne that is the funniest thing I have read for a while thank you for the chuckle You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
