wmw999 2,167 #52 August 18, 2005 QuoteThe True point of the post is about health and prevention of injury. You picked a funny way to express it. While the "put them down into the gutter so you can build them back up" works on most recruits, who are trapped for their basic training, it's less successful on people who have their own lives. That said, I'd have to say that I see at least as many out-of-shape guys as women where I jump. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmpnkramer 0 #53 August 18, 2005 QuoteHowever, my guess is that if you get education about canopy flying, you are preventing injury in skydiving far more than your physical shape. This is true. That is one other prevention method. Unfortunately as we have all seen in recent times is that there are a bunch of incidents involving two people. It happened to be in '99. Two things saved me on that particular incident. A: I was knocked out by the guy so my body was limp when it hit, B: I was in very good conditioning. Quoteyour overall health does not increase if you do 60 mins of cardio a day rather than 30. You will have less fat, but you will not be "healthier." Not your overall health but your endurance and ability to take more physical abuse will. .The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

You are correct and I did not forget that. I hate the portrait that society puts up as an image. Those women are unhealthy as well. It is unhealthy on both spectrums.
