"Sexist" Ads -- Parachutist

Recommended Posts

Quote

I started making a list of the magazines that I have available (see the attached spreadsheet). There are a few that I still want to keep or scan a few pages from first. If any of them interest you
then let me know. Eric



I couldn't open your XLS file but I'd like to know if you can fill in any of the gaps in the online PARACHUTIST collection here

My Parachutist collection doesn't start until October 1974. Looks like you've got everything from then.

I like your website ! !

HI SPORTBETH and Howard

Thanks for the pic of Sprtbeth and her "big rig"

A rig that big could give a person a sore back. Lucky for the little people the gear has downsized over the years.

Me bad this thread is supposed to be about sexist ads not rigs. Time for my nap.

Glad to see you nice LADY.:P

those SSE ads were the brainchild(?) of Joel Schively,a texas jumper who also did advertising. Snyder sure got alot of complaints about them.



Oh please......from WHO ??? Skydivers ???


Hi T

if my memory is correct the complaints were from the "significant others", partners, etc of skydivers that were offended and concerned about their childrens being corrupted by accidental exposure to smut[:/] in the "skydiving" magazine.

"Back in the day" it was easier for some people to shelter kids from the real world. Maybe thats why Clinton was confused about what sex " is".

The educational power of Internet porn... :P
Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Really, I can see adjusters on the main lift web, it's been a long time since I ve seen anything like that except for student rigs.

So was that a SST (pre-Racer) ? The main ripcord looks like the old plastic handles the SST had, though the reserve has been replaced with a metal cloverleaf. also the white reserve risers with the dotted line up the center seems to jog a few aging brain cells....

Hi TB

Don't have a clue on the type of pig sprt beth was wearing.

I'm 5'2" and no way could I wear the old origional piggy backs "back in the day'.It would have been like jumping with a board from the middle of my butt to the middle of my head.:)
Havve a nice day;)
