loudtom 5 #2 February 24, 2007 Thanks John. There does seem to be an awful lot of discussion about this again... I thought you had everyone straightened out by now. I am running our Safety Day for the first time and find this very useful. Thanks and see ya in Texas. lttom #90 #54 #08 and now #5 with a Bronze :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feuergnom 24 #5 February 25, 2007 we had our safety day yesterday and used portions of your presentation - thanks to your in depth analysis we had some intersting discussions involving newly minted and seasoned jumpers. oddly enough even "old timers" have some serious issues regarding separation questions The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwing 4 #7 February 25, 2007 Oddly enough, this old timer gets irritated when he hears youngsters at a major DZ in the southeast espouse the 45 degree rule, and have freeflyers routinely exit first. BTW John, I have adapted your presentation and used it at a couple of safety days. This was at a DZ that is not cited in my complaint above. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #8 March 11, 2007 Kallend, just wanted to say "Thank you" for the use of your presentation, as it was used at Safety Day today. Was interesting watching a 250 jump freeflyer trying to go head to head with a 40 year veteran DZO, who eventually pulled your presentation out with the simulation.

idrankwhat 0 #13 February 28, 2008 Thanks! Used you last year and I'm using you again this year. Of course I always tell people that I'm using you but I rarely tell you that you are being used. I guess you're used to it by now.Thanks again, it's good stuff. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
