  2. G-Bomb, Why are EMT's tought not to ? Ive asked a few medics, docs, and nurses and actually got alot of different responses which kind of scares me. I can't find any supporting documentaion to support my argument or yours. Can you help me ?

  5. The nightmares are pretty normal. I had skydiving nightmares when I started. You shouldnt be discouraged though. There will be setbacks and bad days but the AMAZING days will outnumber them by far. You shouldnt jump till your 100% ready. As for the harness questions I'm not qualified to get into that but it might be a good question to ask in the "Instructors" section. Keep your head up. Blue skies.

  7. I know you hate me Sparky. You make a good point. I only trust Spotted Eagle. Everyone else makes me wonder... There needs to be official structure for this stuff. I think the most important thing i have learned in skydiving is that a "minor" mishap can quickly escalate to full blown disaster. Instructors have to be Experts and I suspect EVERY instructor will tell you they are an expert.

  10. Welcome. How is Skydive Norcal ? I usually jump in Perris ( socal ) but I've jumped in Lodi and Skydive Bay area. Lodi was awesome in my opinion they're rental gear is super nice. I was not impressed with Skydive bay area at all..Plus they're gear was pretty sketch...Great people, atmosphere and instructors though.

  15. Your right Mr. Polite. I tell myself that all the time. This was a stupid thread. If your buddys down and you want to try to save him, go for it. I'm not a bad guy I just have a strange outlook on life. I seriously need to STFU and jump. Thats it. Absofreekinlutely.

  16. I wouldnt want my good friend trying to save me if i was dead. It just adds to the post traumatic stress for those trying to save. If your dead your dead, cover them up. How long would you do CPR for? 2 minutes? 30 minutes? an hour? You could die in a car wreck tomorrow. That's life. People die. Not trying to hurt anyones feelings. I watched 5 of my comrades burned alive trapped in a bradley. the one that got out died later of 3rd degree burns. Does that mean I jump in to try and save them? I thought about it. I had nightmares for months of being burned alive. I still do.

  19. The motorcycle guy doesnt sound like blunt force.. more like roadrash... You guys all make good points. Your right Sparky, Blunt force can be mistaken. I guess if it makes people feel hope than why not. Hook I wish I could meet Digby. I love beagles. Mine is a Papillon. Hes super fluffy.
