Meningitus is a infection in your csf cerebral spinal fliud. There are two types, Viral ( what you want to have, and Bacterial, the one you don't want if you have to choose.) Symptoms such, from head ache to photosensitive/photophobia, ache aty the base of you neck and flu like symtoms. There is no treatment for the infection (viral infection) except to treat the symptoms. Bacterial will be a long hospital stay and maybe a trip to the moruge. Do what they tell you and rest a lot. Sorry for all the spelling errors. I am a paramedic, not a english teacher. There is a Doctor on the forum go by skydoc i think, he should know even more then me.

for some reason my wife likes weird spellings. Believe me, i am with the rest of the level headed, down to earth people that jump out of planes. But try telling a 37 week pregnant human ball of hormons that the name is spelled "this way". If you can do that and walk away without a make.....than I would consider buying you a jump.

Look what i just found in my newspaper. I learned at this dropzone, and have bben in that 182....after it was crashed and rebuilt. The crash was something like 2 years ago. By Carol Ann Alaimo The pilot of an Army Golden Knights sky-diving plane - found by the service to have drugs in his system - caused the crash that took his life two years ago in Marana, a Federal Aviation Administration report says. But an Army report blames the crash on the pilot of a civilian sky-diving plane. The two aircraft collided over Marana Northwest Regional Airport on March 15, 2002, and the Golden Knights plane slammed into the ground. The FAA found that the single-engine Army UV-20A struck the single-engine Cessna 182 from above and behind. The owner of the civilian plane calls the Army's report a cover-up. "When this happened, the Army just closed ranks and tried to blame it on somebody else," said Tony Frost, owner of Marana Skydiving Center at the airport, 11700 W. Avra Valley Road. "There's no way that our plane could have backed up in midair to hit their plane." Frost obtained the FAA report under the federal Freedom of Information Act. The Star obtained the Army's crash reports the same way. One Army report was from the Army Safety Center at Fort Rucker, Ala. The other, which blamed the civilian pilot, was done by the outfit that the Golden Knights reported to - the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. Army officials, first contacted Wednesday by the Star, had no comment. Martha Rudd, a spokeswoman for Army headquarters at the Pentagon, said Thursday that a response could take several days. The Army pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Lowell Timmons, 45, of Richmond Hill, Ga., had just finished learning to fly the Golden Knights plane three weeks before the crash, his flight training records show. A 16-year Army veteran, he had more than 5,000 hours of flying time in fixed-wing aircraft but only 31 in the Army sky-diving plane. Moments before the accident, Timmons "incorrectly reported his position," the FAA report said. Four civilian sky divers were aboard the Cessna when it was struck by the Army plane. They jumped to safety and the Cessna landed with wing damage and a hole in its cabin. Timmons plunged to his death screaming a string of obscenities, which were picked up by his cockpit microphone and broadcast over the sky-diving center's loudspeaker system, the Army reports said. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., which tested Timmons' organs after his death, found drugs in his system. But the names of the drugs were blacked out in the report provided to the Star. The drug test looked for 15 substances ranging from marijuana and cocaine to a common cough-syrup ingredient that can cause drowsiness. Army rules forbid pilots to take drugs without a doctor's OK, except for the occasional use of remedies such as aspirin or antacid. The rules are so strict that pilots are grounded for three days if they use a nicotine patch to quit smoking. Army investigators who checked Timmons' medical records found no sign he was under a doctor's care. "There was no indication that he was taking any medication or had any medical problems," one Army record said. Timmons' widow, Teresa Timmons, had no comment on the investigations when contacted at her home in Georgia last week. "He was a great guy, a great man, a great soldier and a great husband who lost his life doing his job for his country," she said. Frost, of Marana Skydiving, said he learned late last week that his insurance firm paid Timmons' widow a $500,000 settlement on the basis of the Army report blaming the Cessna pilot. But Frost said the Army paid him $33,000 for damage to the Cessna a few months after the accident. He produced a letter from the service that spells out that settlement. Until the fatal crash, the Golden Knights flew winter training missions at Marana Skydiving Center for a few weeks each year. The Knights, based at Fort Bragg, N.C., are part of the service's effort to attract new recruits by dazzling spectators with aerial feats. Members spend about 200 days a year jumping into sports stadiums, appearing at air shows and competing for parachuting medals. The Recruiting Command's investigation concluded that the Marana crash occurred because the Cessna pilot was crowding the Army plane. "The biggest contributing factor to the accident was the Cessna's failure to provide a safe operating distance to the Army aircraft," the report said. The report continued, "The Cessna aircraft had an obligation to avoid the Army aircraft." The FAA report said just the opposite. The Cessna pilot "was exercising proper communication and collision avoidance procedures when he was struck from above/behind," the FAA report says. The Army pilot "failed to use proper communication and collision avoidance procedures and, as the overtaking aircraft, also failed to yield the right of way to the slower Cessna aircraft," the FAA said. The FAA prepared its report for the National Transportation Safety Board, which is reviewing the crash because a civilian aircraft was involved. The NTSB has not yet issued a final report. The Army Safety Center report did not assign blame for the crash in the version released to the Star. It did make six recommendations for changes that the Army should make to prevent future incidents. The reasons for those recommendations cover 6 1/2 pages. Both the recommendations and the reasons were deleted from the material released to the Star. The Safety Center said in a letter accompanying the documents that it normally keeps its conclusions secret to encourage candid responses from witnesses. The Star is appealing the Army's decision to withhold the drug test results and other information. The appeal process could take up to two years, Army officials said. Frost, 54, who said he's run the sky-diving center for 26 years without another plane crash, believes someone in the Army should have to answer for the discrepancies in the crash reports. He said it pains him to speak out against the Army because it was a good customer over the years and because he feels badly for Timmons' widow. "I wasn't going to make a big stink," he said. "But I'm not going to keep quiet about this if they're accusing us of something when they were to blame." Frost said the civilian pilot involved in the crash, 29-year-old David Genet, was so upset that he quit flying a few days later. Genet could not be reached for comment. "Everyone around here was traumatized by this," Frost said. "It's just a terrible situation all the way around." * Contact reporter Carol Ann Alaimo 573-4138 or [email protected]. http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/dailystar/5456.php "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

I always like to see other firemen hanging around the forums. But it is so hard to tell who they are. So if you are firefighter, paramedic or work in the fire service, ring in and say what you do. You have to work in the emergancy field.

Now I have heard of these for skyboards, but I was wondering if anyone has ever mad one for there camera set-up. Let me know. adam "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

3 days, two days jumping.......8, kinda sad if you ask me. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

So I am taling to some friends in class, they all now that I jump. Well they are asking all kinds of question and one mentions that he has done a tandum ( all I could think is ......great a know it all that thinks he knows it all). So he is telling me about is time in Eloy doing his jump. He starts to describe swooping, so I fill him in on what it is and how you have to be pretty experianced to do it. I gave him that stats on the deaths and the info on how it has a small area for success and large area for error. His only one great wuffo comment was, doesnt look hard I could do it the first time. I kinda stoped incourageing him to continues jumping at that time. So to all you Swooper, you have my respect, but hay, its not that hard.

Has any of the zonies in here, or any body at all for that matter, ever been to Buckeye's DZ. Whats your input? "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

I never did AFF. I did the old Static line thing. My question is: on the first jump what happens? I know you fall with two oter guys, but are they always holding on to you, or do they let go if you are holding a good arch, and look stable. I have a friend that is asking me, and i couldnt give him a answer. I am going to look in SIM tonight, but I know that isn't always what happens. Fill me in please.
