My personal record is 6 in single day sure the very next day I finished AFF

Well, it would make sense for me if you said that you try to accelerate after landing your parachute, otherwise I would rather believe stayhigh

Looks like they used those things akin to horse bits, this cow suffered quite a lot before it understood what this little girl wanted from it.

No, he was correct, stage 3 is ????, PROFIT is stage 4

ok, peace, will report further then

Sorry if someone already asked this, but I've read this thread and I'm very curious, what is your background/education? How do you know things not only about aerodynamics, but about this sewing stuff, you know :) Wish you success in your passion :)

Ok, so I assume no one here is interested in this kind of information.

I would suggest you get a teacher, not just try and learn by yourself. I've started this thing a year ago and had a very-very good teacher, he recently moved to the US to join some band and now I'm a bit lost, thinking about finding another one. With a teacher you have more discipline, you know you have to demonstrate your homework to him the next week, plus he can give right advice to help you advance better and get rid of typical mistakes. Good luck.

Maybe he just felt the sound of his audible? With his ears, you know.

So if DZ's readily fix this problem by implementing a check-in procedure, how is it a DZ doesn't have some responsibility if they don't have such a procedure and someone goes missing? The DZO IS responsible for everything that happens - or doesn't happen - on his/her DZ. Of course because no one should have any personal responsibility. It is someone else’s fault. Of course the deceased is responsible for his own death, right, but he cannot for obvious reasons be responsible for noticing his absence, finding himself, his probably rented rig and notifying his relatives.

Right, and we love altitude, we're more uncomfortable with low altitudes

Same thing here: http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Disciplines/Speed_Skydiving/index.shtml Maybe something more methodical than this should be done? E.g. an automated search at least for question marks?

Hi, I've just noticed that there's a Cyrillic forum on dropzone.com While I understand that migrating the whole forum to unicode is not the first priority, you could at least change the default character encoding *inside* that forum to 1251, so the users won't have to tweak their browsers to read that easily. The majority of users just don't get over it and just use transliteration :(

Your profile says you have 1 jump

Have you ever tried looking into a viewfinder of a camera? Or into a microscope or binocular? Optical systems can create light rays that seem to a human eye as coming from infinite distance (like clouds on the horizon), you don't need to try hard to focus on them, you just relax your vision and it will be ok. I want to point out that this HUD is created by recon labs, and they has some background creating these HUDs for skiing, so the concept is working, it's just the application of it to skydiving that is new.

Ok, actually this website is very interesting :D For example, this link leads to the correct page with the article http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Gear_and_Equipment/Do_skydivers_care_about_safetyaoeuaoeaoeuoe_19.html And it actually shows errors for some other kinds of broken links, so it tries something clever at least :D

Concealing errors is a great evil in software engineering, you have to indicate that the link is dead, afterwards you can redirect wherever you want, but the user won't helplessly try to find the information he came for on a page that seems legit. It is already an error when a wrong link is followed, but the site simply fools the user into believing that everything is ok.

Hi there. This page http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Gear_and_Equipment/index.shtml has an article titled "do skydivers care about safety?" by Bill Booth. The link is broken, it shouldn't contain the question mark, it leads to http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Gear_and_Equipment/Do_skydivers_care_about_safety?_19.html However, the correct link is http://www.dropzone.com/safety/Gear_and_Equipment/Do_skydivers_care_about_safety_19.html Also weird is that however link is broken, the site doesn't report an error but just sends to the list of articles again, which is definitely a bug.
