This is the sort of mindless, factless statement that removes the power from people who actually have something educational to say. Good job. Thank you Doc.

Alaska Airlines: Note on wing 'not the best approach'
Mr_Polite replied to airdvr's topic in The Bonfire
If you have only flown them once than you don't really have a good database of how they are. -
You will die under a pulse at 1.3!!!!

Ever think that maybe the maintence guy wanted a passenger to see it? -
You missed the "safely" part, didn't you? Yes you're correct. Have a rigger assist you when hooking it up so you're being safe

Using 2 go-pros for video/stills and charging tandems $120
Mr_Polite replied to Mr_Polite's topic in Photography and Video
This is for outside video. -
Yes that canopy will attach to whatever risers you have. You should buy new soft links (or hard) since you're going to have to attach the canopy anyway. It's a cheap investment to proper gear care. As far as will it be a perfect fit. The best way is to pack it in your gear and find out. You can look at specs all day long but you really won't know till you try. Does anyone at your dz have a sabre 190 you pack in your container? Also there is nothing wrong with a sabre! Yes people will bitch and moan about the smacker openings but if you pack it right, maybe get the modified slider it will treat you well. Once open they are a great canopy to start with.

Mr_Polite replied to Mr_Polite's topic in Photography and Video
I have run across a few DZ's that use 2 go-pros for both the video and stills on tandem jumps. I understand the use of a go-pro on a wrist mount but this setup should not be charging this much! -
Unhook your old main, attach the new main, pack, jump, pull

You have small tits for a fat chick -
what type of turn if you are to low to swoop
Mr_Polite replied to jtfreefly's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Trust your rears. Just keep pulling on them and you will be ok! -
Why are incidents in USA not reported to USPA?
Mr_Polite replied to GLIDEANGLE's topic in Safety and Training
Most are not reported because Dzo's don't want bad publicity. They like to be able to tell student's and tandems that they have no serious injuries or deaths. If the real number of injuries was presented to new jumpers more people would decide this isn't for them. Dying is easy, living with the injuries from an accident can be much worse!
