You could always get a full-face and skip the goggles part.

Where are the DZ and the owner of the rig in your hypothetical located? Is the person who jumped the rig and had the mal the owner? Where did the jump take place? You need to establish governing law, jurisdiction, and venue. What was the mal, or what caused it (specifically), and what proof is there? BTW, your question was who would get sued, not who is liable, right? The answer to that question in the U.S. is "everyone".

I know a guy who has one, so if you don't figure it out, let me know and I'll see if he can help you.

That's interesting because that's not "exactly" what the SB says. The SB says it is a "one-time" test and that one of two test, "either" test 1 "or" test 2 must be performed (this is in the first part of the SB and it does not make reference to next use or repack in terms of when the test must be performed). Under Test 1, the SB says it is to be performed prior to the next use. Under Test 2, the SB says it must be done prior to the next repack. At the end of the SB, it says that if you cannot perform test 1 "or" test 2, you need to send the cord to Capewell. The SB is not a model of clarity.

Common law marriages were abolished in Ohio.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I want to get input from riggers, so here it is: Does anyone know of an incident where a pilot emergency parachute has actually been used? The Capewell pin problem got me thinking about this. I don't think I've ever seen an AAD on one of these, and they only have the one parachute, so, if the pin fails, guess what? On the other hand, I've never seen one actually used either. I'm not saying that justifies the risk, but it does have an effect on the likelihood of a fatality. Mostly I'm just curious as to whether or not these things ever actually get used.

Getting married is simply agreeing to be legally bound by the terms and conditions that the legal system places on your relationship and the termination of that relationship. Since I don't think that my relationships are any of the legal system's business (meaning any business of the judges and lawyers), I refuse to submit to their jurisdiction and refuse to be bound by their rules by refusing to marry. Even if I agreed with the current laws (which, as you might gather, I DO NOT), there's no guarantee that some bozos won't change the rules later on. No thanks. I don't disagree with many of the comments as they relate to relationships per se (trust, money, love, etc.) but they have nothing to do with marriage per se.

They will probably replace it with one that passes the test. That's my guess.

Docs Mum on Masturbation Therapy for Prostate Cancer By Adam Marcus HealthDay Reporter FRIDAY, July 18 (HealthDayNews) -- First came word Wednesday that scientists have discovered a baldness drug can prevent prostate cancer (news - web sites), making it the first medication to reduce the risk of the tumors. But the drug, finasteride, may soon have some big-time competition that doesn't cost a cent. Frequent masturbation, especially during the young adult years, can lower a man's chances of developing prostate cancer, a new study claims. It's not clear why masturbation may help men avoid prostate tumors. One theory is that purging the gland regularly clears it of cancer-causing substances. Another suggests it allows cells in the organ to become more cancer-resistant. But the study, by Australian researchers, says that the more and the earlier, the better. Several doctors who were asked to comment on the study declined to do so, saying they hadn't read it yet. They included Dr. Ira Sharlip, a San Francisco urologist and sexual medicine expert, who urges caution on interpreting the Australian research. But he calls the possible connection between self-gratification and better health potential "dynamite." If doctors could tell young men that they're less likely to get prostate cancer if they masturbate, "that would be one hell of a message," Sharlip says. "That's going to give everybody a license to have a lot of sex." The study, reported July 17 in the New Scientist, compared the sex habits and cancer risk in 2,338 Australian men, of whom 1,079 had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Those who reported ejaculating more between the ages of 20 and 50 were less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Men who masturbated more than five times a week while in their 20s had about two-thirds the risk of developing prostate cancer, compared to men who did so infrequently. "It's a prostatic stagnation hypothesis," study leader Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria, in Melbourne, told the magazine. "The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them." The findings appear in BJU International, a European urology journal. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men, trailing only skin cancer. This year, nearly 221,000 men in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease, and 28,900 will die of it, according to the American Cancer Society (news - web sites).

You got that right. Sorta. They don't really like the guy, they like the money. Proof? When they leave the guy, they take the money.

It's tied in to the edit function.

I was going to say something about making an assumption about whose grip it was, but then I decided not to.

What he said.

I change mine whenever there is a significant change. Not one of the choices.

One size shell, different liners.

Your other left................................

Look, that's the way some people spell cum. You say potato Dan says potatoe.

Interestingly enough, one of the reasons I prefer the digital is that I don't have to mentally process the information from the dial, all I have to do is look at the number and I instantly know what my altitude is. Like they say, different strokes.

I used mine, until I found myself flat on my back under a spinning main and had to chop it. The reserve came out just fine, except for the line twists.................. Now my RSL is disconnected. But my AAD is still on.
