airsaint 0 #1 November 26, 2003 you want me to buy your rig and offer to have me test jump it for the week-end. I hire a packer. I make a jump and blow up the canopy with a line dump. who pays for the repair? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #2 November 26, 2003 You do..... Was it in good conditioin before you jumped it? You should have inspected it before jumping it. It's your responsibility, pay for it. Did the pack job cause the problem? You should have packed it yourself (I rarely do, but take responsibility for being lazy). Pay for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #4 November 26, 2003 yup... you borrowed it. you're responsible for it... think about it... if it'd just been a simple mal, you'd have paid for the repack, right? you have to give it back in the same condition you got it. and... did you like the rig? if so, just offer to buy it, and replace the canopy yourself with whatever you want.

I make a jump and blow up the canopy with a line dump. who pays for the repair? You pay, you took responsibility for it when you borrowed it to test jump. If you test drive a car, and you crash it, your insurance probably pays, right? (?) What if you had cut away the main and never found it, would you just say,.. oh, well, it wasn't mine! ? No way, man! You lost it, you replace it. Not to bring this too far off topic, but how does something like that happen, anyhow? Slider not against gromets? Sorry to hear of the shit luck you got, but I think it is only right that you pay for the canopy whatever he was asking for it. Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angela. This is a battle of ethics. By your own ethics, you may be compelled to tell them the honest truth. And you would hope that by their own ethics, they would give you a fair, impartial, and equitable deal, seeing as you are their client and pay them a lot of money on an ongoing basis for precisely that. However, I believe many people have found that insurance companies do not, in all cases, give fair, impartial, and equitable deals, not even so far as to meet the client's expectations based on written representations. And there are many artifacts that add up to this, not least of which is those nearly-monthly notices that your insurance coverage has changed (i.e. gone down) and/or your premiums have changed (i.e. gone down) so they can remain competitive. Which leads to a case of prisoner's dilemna, in some peoples' eyes. Or a case of "taking what's due" in other peoples' eyes. -=-=-=-=- Pull.

FrogNog 1 #20 November 27, 2003 QuoteQuoteQuote Speaking of insurance, if you have renters, or homeowners insurance, that might pay for the canopy. It might. *** Broken gear NO. Stolen gear yes. Just curious, but do you tell them it was stolen from your home, or do you tell the truth that it was stolen at a dz? Do most insurances cover this? Angela. This is a battle of ethics. By your own ethics, you may be compelled to tell them the honest truth. And you would hope that by their own ethics, they would give you a fair, impartial, and equitable deal, seeing as you are their client and pay them a lot of money on an ongoing basis for precisely that. However, I believe many people have found that insurance companies do not, in all cases, give fair, impartial, and equitable deals, not even so far as to meet the client's expectations based on written representations. And there are many artifacts that add up to this, not least of which is those nearly-monthly notices that your insurance coverage has changed (i.e. gone down) and/or your premiums have changed (i.e. gone down) so they can remain competitive. Which leads to a case of prisoner's dilemna, in some peoples' eyes. Or a case of "taking what's due" in other peoples' eyes. -=-=-=-=- Pull.
