Tonto 1 #28 July 22, 2005 QuoteThe only thing that scares me more than a main/reserve entanglement is my x wife No. A main reserve entanglement will be scary for a few secs, then it'll be over - one way or another. Your ex-wife will always be lurking somewhere. I'd choose death over my ex-wife anyday, even a slow, painful death. Not her fault, just really, really poor judgement on my part. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #31 July 22, 2005 Going through clouds scares the living shit out of me, because it makes me think about my biggest fear - a freefall/deployment collision. My next biggest fear is a main/reserve entanglement or a malfunctioning reserve, then power lines. I'm always afraid that I won't see power lines, or that I'll plan poorly and fly straight into them. That's why I like our landing area. I know where they are, and they're not really nearby. I also have a very general fear of really breaking something. I think I'd probably pass out if some part of me was dangling. For that reason, I get nervous walking down steps, driving, landing, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #35 July 22, 2005 Night jumps are a hoot. I'm not sure how many I've got, but I'd guess a couple dozen. As an instructor, I've had the pleasure of landing in the plane several times. I still don't like it. What scares me? Spiders...and seaweed touching me when I'm swimming. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

SpeedRacer 1 #40 July 24, 2005 seaweed? well, I can kinda understand that. Here's something that seems to happen to me a lot when I'm swimming in the ocean: since the waves are causing too much turbulence to be able to see down into the water, sometimes I'll put my foot down and it gets pinched by a crab. am i the only one this happens to?

NickDG 23 #43 July 24, 2005 Dying young. But, now that I'm fifty, not so much anymore . . . When PV21 went in at Perris the song on the memorial video was, "Forever Young" and we all cried. Yet, I've been around long enough to know there is nothing noble in dying young. And its useless and silly to say, "they died doing what they loved and believed in," especially when its someone who's life is mostly in front of them. The real shame of dying young is the future lost, the loves, the laughs, and the good times that are not only gone, they never happened at all . . .
