Ron 7 #151 February 5, 2004 QuoteI was there I remember the conversations, I remember what everybody and their cousin told the dude (don't do it, don't do it, don't do it) Not true several folks told him he would be fine....Some of those did not know that it was actually a 135, not a 149 like it was labled as. QuoteHonestly would regulation help here? Yep, cause when he asked if we thought he would be ok, I could have said "Nope, and you can't jump it here anyway. USPA wingload BSR states that Blah Blah" So it would not have mattered...He would not have been allowed to jump it. As it was he took peoples opinions, and some of those people who gave opinions didn't know enought to be giving advice. QuoteFirst of all he jumped without medical insurance, so should we not have that regulated? Maybe, and it has been talked about...I don't agree with that stand..since it really has nothing to do with SKYDIVING saftey...only the problems that it can bring AFTER an accident. Thats for lawyers and DZO's to talk about..Id rather break the chain BEFORE the guy needs heatlh insurance. This program would help do that. QuoteSecond he jumped against the advice of everybody he asked. Again, not true. Several told him he would be fine....Some of those didn't know about the sizing issue."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
