I don't see a reserve handle plus he wasn't smiling!

QuoteCan anyone tell me if there is a middle ground in the sport? No, there is no middle ground in skydiving, well none that I've ran into. Maybe, there is a middle ground in BASE jumping? Har Har!

I wonder if it matches his rig! hahaha

I'd like to see "smore" pic like that Preferably white chocolate! har har

Why do parachutists yell "Geronimo!" when jumping from an airplane? 23-Jan-1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Cecil: Being a Native American, I was wondering why people and cartoon characters yell "Geronimo!" when they parachute from an airplane. To the best of my knowledge Geronimo never skydived. --Michael, southeast Texas Cecil replies: The other day a guy asks me why I love the Internet. Two reasons, I told him. First, you can come up with the definitive answer to seemingly inscrutable questions like this one in three days max. Second, the BS answers from the goofballs in the newsgroups are a riot. Example: Paratroopers yell "Geronimo!" because it beats screaming "Mommmyyyy!" As it turns out, this isn't far from the real answer. The custom of yelling "Geronimo!" is attributed to Aubrey Eberhardt, a member of the U.S. Army's parachute "test platoon" that demonstrated the feasibility of parachute troop drops at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1940. To speed up the drops, the brass decided to try a mass jump, in which the chutists would jump from the plane in quick succession. The men were nervous about this, and to relieve the tension a group of them went to see a western at the post movie house the night before the jump. The movie featured the cavalry mixing it up with the famous Apache chief Geronimo. None of our sources said exactly what movie this was, but one supposes it was Geronimo (1939) with Andy Devine and Gene Lockhart. After the movie the men went to the post beer garden to further calm their nerves, and after a few hours were feeling pretty courageous. Strolling back to camp, Private Eberhardt announced that he expected the next day's jump to be no different than any other. His friends immediately began to razz him, saying he'd be so scared he'd barely remember his name. This ticked off the six-foot-eight Eberhardt, who was known for his confidence and powers of concentration. According to Gerard M. Devlin, author of Paratrooper! (1979), he declared, "All right, dammit! I tell you jokers what I'm gonna do! To prove to you that I'm not scared out of my wits when I jump, I'm gonna yell `Geronimo' loud as hell when I go out that door tomorrow!" Next morning half the platoon strapped on their chutes and boarded planes while the other half sat by the edge of the jump field to watch the drop. By now everyone had heard about Eberhardt's promise. The lead plane flew over the field at low altitude and the men began spilling out as planned. As the chutes popped open, the guys on the ground could clearly hear a shout of "Geronimo!" followed by an Indian war whoop. Eberhardt had made good on his boast and the unofficial yell of U.S. airborne troops had been born. Some people claim that jumpers yell "Geronimo!" because if their main chute hasn't opened by the time they're done, they know it's time to deploy the reserve chute. Not true. Official U.S. Army practice is to count out loud "one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand" (or higher, depending on the type of aircraft). If you're still dropping like a rock after that, deploying your reserve chute is strongly advised. Regardless of what you say, yelling on exit is a good way to calm the jitters and stay focused on what you're supposed to do. My assistant Jane, always pondering the big picture, wonders if the course of history might have been different had Eberhardt and his friends seen a movie other than Geronimo before the big jump. Another notable 1939 release was The Wizard of Oz. Would the enemy have quaked with terror had jumping U.S. paratroopers shouted, "And Toto toooooooo"? Thinking the same thought, one Usenet wag inquired, what if they'd seen Rocky? Jumpers everywhere today might be shouting, "Adriiiiaaaan!" For that matter, what about The Terminator? Think of the loss of credibility if they shouted, "I'll be baaaaack!" --CECIL ADAMS

Bush visits regional park lauds volunteers By As the sun grew hot in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area today, President George W. Bush praised National Park workers and volunteers, toured a nursery for native plants and helped fill in a hole on a hiking trail. August 15, 2003 As the sun grew hot in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area today, President George W. Bush praised National Park workers and volunteers, toured a nursery for native plants and helped fill in a hole on a hiking trail. "If you are interested in serving your country, volunteer in a park," Bush urged. "God designed this park's beauty, but men and women make sure it remains beautiful." The president is on a fund-raising and speech-making tour through California. This morning, he flew into Newbury Park High School and was taken by motorcade to the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa area of the park off Lynn Road in Thousand Oaks. Protestors lined the road, but inside the park, Bush was met warmly by park officials. On the trails, Bush talked with student volunteers from Los Angeles' Wilson High School East and park volunteers. At a podium set up near the Chumash demonstration village, he addressed about 100 invited guests, mostly park workers with a sprinkling of local elected officials. "There are over 33 million visitors who come here, that's a lot," Bush said, perspiration glistening on his brow. "I can see why they come here. It's a beautiful spot; fantastic trails and good opportunities for people to take care of their physiques." On the trail, it was Holly Harman, 59, of Chatsworth, who had handed the president the shovel he used to put dirt into a hole caused by erosion. "He was very enthusiastic," the park volunteer said. "And, he's in good shape." Her husband, Terry, a 56-year-old volunteer, noted: "He chit-chatted about his running injuries and how he works out in a pool, just like anyone else."
