Don't let'm get your goat. All the foreign posters here, especially Europeans, hate America. Except when they get their tit caught in the wringer, then they love us. That is why we should seal off the borders and make them declare and prove their worth before letting them in. to be honest: I don't hate america or "the" american people - I am just extremely pissed off by your governments and the present potus politics. Heck we've had some pretty lunatic president over here with silvio berlusconi runnig italy for a long time. but that was italy and of no harm to the rest of the world... can't say that for the guy that got elected at your place. as for your last sentence: I'd wish the same for americans entering our country The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

it's not that we don't have people of the same thinking and speaking over here. but at least they are not in power. YET. by the fraction of a hair. that is the scary part and thats why so many people look at the u.s. we've been through that kind of rhetoric shit and the results of it more than half a century ago, no need to re-enact that experience once again. and if the nation with the biggest military power drifts in this direction - well I guess you get the idea....

I stopped coming to dz.com long time ago. just out of curiosity I came back to read what people were/are thinking after choosing the POTUS#45.

my take on that goes along this line: if you board a plane you should be ready to jump any minute after takeoff -> all straps tightened, helmet (or whatever head protection you wear) on, seatbelt until 1000 ft/300 meters.

whats that: its sitting in the corner of the room, all black and it smells like caramel? a diabetic after room fire The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

if you brief the jump you brief the exit. a well briefed and executed exit results in a cleaner dive, thus a higher learning experience, doesn't it? a good coach also puts great emphasis on the canopy section - IF he cares about his group AND has the knowledge AND watches what's going on after he's landed see above. but what do I know, I'm just a boring old fart from the last millennium.... The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

that depends on what you call unsafe. things that come to my mind are • botched exits as seen on the debrief-video as a direct result from missing detailed and in-depth exit-briefings - funneled exits can become messy rather quickly • groups taking ages getting in the door and cramming in the back of the plane - can anybody spell stall? • people having no business being there landing in the high speedarea • people landing in opposing directions. guy I tried to talk with just brushed it off with some silly remark - I thought that was a dead horse but apparently I am wrong to cover and to prevent stuff like this is - in my book - the responsibility of the person briefing the jumps. at least when you wanna have a beer with everybody after jumping has finished others saw different things but not having witnessed that stuff I won't comment The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

bringing it to USPA/BOD/whatever won't work in europe taking step one and talk to the dzo? well he's selling tickets and making the dough needed to keep the plane going for everybody. so that won't solve the problem either. could it be that this is the reason for all the crap "we" see going on when watching people under canopy? The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

no it wont be. it should be. be it for the part of: is this just my perception or is this something creeping up on a bigger scale? or: how would you deal with this if it happened at the dz you like to spend time? but please don't give me the standard answer of going someplace else, ok? you can do better than that. or: how do dzo's see that - which would be chucks part maybe this one: how do tunnel instructors/upjumper see this? whats the opinion of "regular" coaches? there's a f****** lot of questions linked to this and to dismiss everything that quickly with just one sentence is like pretending there isn't anything to talk about The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

tunneltraining is changing the game at the dz dramatically - at least in my little corner of the globe. but what I saw last weekend made me scratch my head in disbelief: tunnel-instructors with less than 100 actual jumps are organizing a boogie with 6-18 ways mostly FF & tracing. of course they know how to fly but what about the rest of the stuff that is vital for surviving a day agh the dz? proper exits and training of these on the mock-up - nonexistent? getting in the door and exit in a timely manner? nothing under 25 secs, hosing it for everybody else; see first point. canopy-skills? well its open, so what... putting sit, track and head down in one jump and start to argue with you when you dare to say that this is not the wisest of ideas because you might loose control of the line of flight? I could go on for a while with more ridiculous stuff but seriously - wtf? needless to say that there are serious tunnel-instructors with a solid skydiving background doing perfect jobs. the guys from last weekend didn't fall into this category *rantoff* The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

BUMP last week at skydive dubai during the DZ-briefing instructor told me to use the 45-dregree-rule to get the exit separation right. couldn't believe what I heard and was to stunned to get into an arguement. Info is out for over a decade know and there's still instructors telling BS guess I'll send them just the link to all the threads The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

prop blast penetration .... wtf? for the rest of the article: john kallend did all the math for exit separation years ago - where's the reference to him? and what brian burke wrote on when and how to put out tracking/tracing dives makes much more sense. last but not least: rating your own article with 5 stars: really cheap
