skydiving with ipod's?

Recommended Posts

If perhaps you're hinting I missed an exit changeup, identify exactly when and where. I've only ever been on a couple loads with you, and that was when you first began wingsuiting.

If you feel my iPod is a deterrent to a conversation during the skydive...that's a different discussion.:D

>>> Nope, I was pointing out that the same issues arise on wingsuit jumps. Your post implied that wingsuit jumps were different.

I've only ever been on a couple loads with you, and that was when you first began wingsuiting.

>>> Had we been able to converse more, you may have discovered that I had well over 100 wingsuit jumps before we met.

OK, let's discuss it. Do you think that you may be perceived as aloof and unfriendly because of the ipod, and if so, do you really want to convey that impression?
But what do I know?

If my iPod makes me appear aloof and unfriendly to someone, then they have a problem. It doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone who wishes to have conversation. One ear is generally open.
We did have a dialog; perhaps lack of memory plagues you. And my iPod was in my ear.

100 wingsuit jumps=just getting started, IMO.

And yes...wingsuit jumps generally are different. Last out, 3 min flights, last to land, no traffic to worry about (most of the time).

There are several potential dangers. Like everything else in skydiving.





Do you suggest that putting one more danger on the top of it would not change anything?

Just for your information in some countries is prohibited even to walk on the street with headpohones or driving a bicucle with headphones and you suggest that having that noise in your ears during such extreme activity as parachutejump cannot do any harm? In my humble opinion it is prohibited to take _any_ devices in the plane except the chute and altimeter.

What about a reserve, AAD, helmet, jumpsuit, dytter etc...
