jerry81 10 #3 April 2, 2003 Okay everyone, you heard the man! From now on, every time you want to share an experience where your main was aerodinamically challenged, use terms like 'jettison' or 'got rid of the damn thing' or 'bonus freefall time'.Oh, say, what if we want to talk about the movie?

If you can find anything good to say about it I'd be interested...But, but, but, we can't stop talking about cutaways, we've only touched on one type of malfunction.....there's plenty bandwidth still to be wasted on the subject. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

covey 0 #5 April 2, 2003 Chris maybe you should hold off on posting until you get off student status. Perhaps then you won't keep digging your hole so deep. If you are just posting inflamatory statements just to get a rise out of people then perhaps you shouldn't ever post again. Just my observation and thought. You will get alot of you answers to everything you have posted in the AFF course. When you have made a jump without any instructors help then you will see the "source" of skydiving. It is a whole other monster than tandems. I don't have that much experience myself, and I haven't pissed off as many people as you have. Hopefully we will get some good weather this weekend and I can finish up my A. Go finish your jump course and let us know how it goes. Believe those who are seeking truth. Doubt those who find it. -Andre Gide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #6 April 2, 2003 Yeah, NacMac, we haven't even begun to talk about the ever ellusive "midget-in-the-d-bag" malfunction. The from there, there's the "midget-in-tow" with the debate of if you should cutaway first or pull your reserve first...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dreamsville 0 #24 April 2, 2003 I think the only question about talking about cutaways is whether they ought to be here or on the "safety and training" forum. Often there are a lot of other subjects discussed here, and posts about cutaway stories and how to prevent/deal with them might get lost in the general post traffic in this forum. Incidents, and safety and training might be considered by some to be more reference-type forums (where to go to learn from others' situations), than this forum. Of course, if we talk about cutaways and learn, maybe we can keep them from ending up as serious incidents or from occurring in the first place.
