I plan on doing something stupid. Only skydivers may respond

[pash 0]

So I did something stupid. I was able to get away with it and anyway I know a person that said it was okay.

My question is: is it okay to continue being stupid? You can flame away all you want but unless you're a real skydiver I'm not listening to you.

Oh, and all you annoying "do a search" people out there - i DID do a search but too many hits on the word "stupid" came up for me to waste my time looking through them. I'm certain MY stupid is original anyway.

thanks,

Jason

I think you should post this on rockclimbing.com I think you'll have an easier time of finding "real skydivers"

1) Your stupid idea is not original. Somebody somewhere has already done it. Guaranteed.

2) You have to consider the risks/repercussions of getting busted and the reward of not. If you are smart enough to either not get busted or get out of it without major repercussion, you should definitely do it. If not, it really comes down to what you're getting out of it for the odds that you're fucked.

I don't think any of us can judge if what your going to do is stupid if you won't tell us what you plan on doing.

but personally I don't have a problem with it... as long as you don't hurt anyone else in the process.

btw: I don't think skydiving is stupid... but there are certainly people that do...

Yes it is okay, but remember if you're gonna be stupid you gotta be tough.....

Have a friend post the video of the event for our amusement. There is no reason to die a meaningless death.

That is what my 13 year old son said to me one morning looking at my bloodied body from the night before. It involved a bottle of ta-kill-ya and a gas powered skateboard scooter

doing something stupid can make a hell of a story later on. Just make sure you don't hurt yourself or especially someone else in the process.
What is it anyway that you are wanting to do???????

If I stand on my tip toes, I can see the weekend from here!

If you won't tell us what you did, or what you intend to do again, then I have no choice but to create a list of speculations:

Did you perhaps . . . .

1. Have sex with a farm animal? Domesticated?

2. Carry a beer in your jumpsiut on a sunset cross-country load?

3. Smoke a fat greenie before a sunset cross-country load?

4. Sleep with your wife's sister/brother/uncle?

5. Share a condom with another dude?

6. Fake some entries in your logbook?

7. Give a pilot the ol' reacharound?

8. Pee downwind while under canopy?

9. Perform a 90mph wheelie next to a bus load of junior high girls?

10. Steal some high-quality threads from Abercrombie & Bitch?


To answer your question, it is ok to continue doing stupid stuff as long as you aren't putting someone else in jeapordy or making skydivers or Americans look bad, and are cool with living in constant denial.

I've heard the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." By this definition, you certainly aren't insane, but try not to let yourself be mistaken for a complete moron. I'd also caution you against taking the word of who ever said it was ok.

Let's not forget the lesson we learned from Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Good luck - you'll need it.

I think they are talking about flying a 120 Stiletto at a 1.6 WL with only 75 jumps!

Ah.

Forgot to add that one.

With, or without an RSL?

Please don't hurt yourself, be PATIENT, and don't affect anyone else. If you are considering jumping a canopy with a 1.6WL @ your experience level....don't do it.

Don't think an RSL will really matter...

Your fourth thread on the same subject? BAD troll. Go and be original now.

[Gato 0]

I think I got troll poo on my good mousin' hand.

I wish I'd known about this Stiletto business before I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, we'd all be very understanding if you couldn't resist having one off with a sheep, but a Stiletto with a 1.6:1 wingload?

I salute you and your balls, sir, which I'm sure are as big as church bells.

Few things are truly stupid . . .

Yes... But only if there is a camera around to record your stupidity for our amusement.
