    However, skill can and will overcome brute strength on the skydives.

    Really? Are you saying that there are jumps that do not require both?

    The class I is supposedly supposed to take care of the physical side of it, but then again, if you can make to the Dr's exam table under your own power with out running into too many walls then you'll pass.

    I don't think so!:o I think you are confusing a "Class I" medical with a Class III medical. There is a huge difference between the two and only a Class III is required by the FAA for doing tandems.

    I can't imagine that the spot could be bad enough on such a huge DZ to land out from 6000ft.

    Yeap, probably has NEVER happened.:oNOT! And no one has EVER had to make an emergency exit.:POh, and don't forget that malfunctions ONLY happen under optimal condition and when you expect them to!:S

    Just remember that it is what you “can’t imagine” that will bite you ass!

    although I agree with your post that there is certain business which the uspa may conduct that the general membership is not or should not be party to, do you not think that the board has some responsibilty to at least notify the body as to why they are not welcome to attend the proceedings?

    Most states require that the membership be notified of such meetings. They are usually announced as an example: "The board will be meeting in Executive Session to meet with legal counsel". Then the results of the meeting are published but not the discussion.

    If they are conducting a meeting regarding internal affairs its one thing, but if they are conducting a meeting and making decisions which affect the membership body, those proceedings should be public

    I disagree. If the meeting meets the criteria for executive session then it should not be made public to the membership even though any decision the board makes during that meeting can affect the membership. Again, I am only talking about specific circumstances that meet the requirements and not the meetings that are for running the day to day business.

  12. In addition to the suggestions above, another reason responsible drop zones require a day jump is so that you can see what any out landing areas that you may need to use look like. Would you want to land out at night and not have any idea of where you are landing or what you may land on?:oI also recommend that you take a cell phone with you.;)

    On another topic, why should there ever be a "closed door meeting" in a member supported organization.

    Most states allow this type meeting under certain circumstances. The governing body can have an executive session for such item as pending litigation and discipline. Only the results of the meeting have to be presented to the membership. As an example, say that as a member of an organization I take legal action against them. Should I then be allowed to attend the meeting with the board when they meet with the attorney to discuss the issue? No, of course not. Any organization has to have this type of mechanism to protect the organization as a whole.

  14. When I had mine done I decided against using cadaver because of the higher rejection rate. They took bone out of my hip. They told me that my hip would hurt worse than my neck, but it didn't bother me at all.
