Are you sure you're reading each article in each link correctly ? There's a distinction between a "nude scene" and the actual reality on set during filming. The clearest evidence I've found is the same direct quote on several links: That aside, I am pretty sure there are laws that protect minors from certain kinds of exposure. Film producers would be somewhat foolish to film their own 'crime' in Panoramic Technicolor.

For some reason, I have kept this in my mailbox for years now. I still laugh every time I see it. How do they answer the phone ? ...

In the skydiving world, I'm only about 5 minutes older than you, so read this as nothing more than a newbie anecdote: I dont know if centrifugal force can be strong enough to prevent you from bringing your arms in, but if your ripcord handle is attached with velcro it could come loose if it rubs or bumps something on exit or during the skydive. Mine did once. On my second reach for it, I reached around to the steel ripcord housing on the back of the rig, ran my fingers along to the edge, found the ripcord and then the handle and pulled. But, as others have said, and will continue to say, your instructor will have the best answers.

Ok, now I'm curious... I think almost all of us believe in the literal meaning of "unidentified flying object" ...as in that some people have seen some objects in the sky that they cannot identify and which are then, relatively speaking, unidentified flying objects. So, just so that I understand properly; Do you believe that some sightings are in some way related to the activities of an extraterrestrial intelligence ?

Our DZ has a 206T. The turbo makes a huge difference. Our plane takes 7 people (pilot + 6 skydivers) to 10000ft in about 20 minutes. Our DZ is about 3000ft ASL so it could easily reach 12000ft if operated from a sea-level DZ. There are 2 variants of the 206 that I know of, one has the mid-mounted cargo door and the other has the conventional narrow door opposite the pilot. The conventional configuration is generaly better for static line students who prefer to exit off the strut, while many prefer the wider cargo door version for launching RW groups at altitude.

Guy #1: Would you know anything about the 5 keys of weed we just found in the plane ? Guy #2: Uhm... No.

Well, if we're including those, then I can honestly say that James Bond has jumped at our DZ.

Hmm... In before the lock ?

This thread is talking about swooping, not "landing a canopy properly". Less than 1/4 of the members at my DZ swoop their landings but almost every one of them can land their canopy properly. Is it really fair to say that anyone who cant swoop is also incapabable of adequate canopy traffic awareness ?

Well, I think he may be about to say that... Although death&injury from a swoop is more likely, there are no (or fewer) regulations and minimum requirements in place for swoopers than there are for TMs. The other important distinction here is that a tandem jump involves another person's life (the passenger), a bad swooper usualy only endangers his own life. I would happier to see a newbie trying to swoop a beach-towel than to let him take any of my friends on a tandem.

I think it's nice. I've always prefered the American approach to automotive design. There's definitely something aestheticaly appealing to me about those "squared-off" body shapes, as opposed to the sharp&flat or heavily rounded shapes of many French and Italian designs. I also like the simplistic American approach to increased power.. more cubic inches! By far the most ugly thing about that new Mustang is those secondary headlamps mounted in the front grille. Maybe they keep with traditional styling, but it still looks really ugly to have them there. Edit to Add: Ok, after seeing the pics in skydivingchad's post I've changed my mind. The Mustang ass looks like... well, a horse's ass. I dont want one anymore.

Nope. Only about 500 registered skydivers in my country, the gear market is just not big enough to justify the cost of sending lots of demo gear to the dealers. Some dealers here in SA have demo equipment from Parachute Systems and Aerodyne, but not much else, and not in the canopy size range that many students would be looking to buy. Most of the skydivers at my DZ borrowed rigs from each other to demo where they could, and bought blind for the rest.

According to that; I'm Spiderman.

So... if your child or Very Significant Other was clearly in distress just a few feet from you, you may actualy hesitate to help ? Many of these thread comments are not claiming what they could successfully do, it's also about what they would attempt to do. The former requires skill and experience, the later only requires courage (or foolishness). I wouldn't chase anyone that low if they had a Cypres.. for precisely this reason. That would result in the jumper's handle being pulled at about the time your reserve opening reaches line stretch, after your Cypres fire. That would probably start their deployment at around 400ft. It would be a very close one.. but perhaps better than not trying at all. Good on ya.

Pretty funny stuff. Rather organize me a Green Card and some citizenship, dammit.

I dont have kids. I have lost faith in the future of my country and dont have the resources to emigrate to a better place, more suitable for raising children. I've also often thought that planned pregnancies are somewhat 'selfish'. After all, parents have children in order to enrich their own lives, they are not doing the child any great favor by bringing them into the world. As such, I had decided that if I cannot offer my child every oppertunity for a better life than I have had, then I have no business in having a child at all.

If it was family or close friend, I'd chase them till the AAD fired.. or till 2000 if I had no AAD. I think a lot of skydivers have a sense of their relative inexperience, but a lot of whuffos think that anyone that can skydive is capable of 'James Bond' stunts: "You're a skydiver! He was right next to you when he started tumbling and you didn't even try to help?" My chances of ever catching an incapacitated jumper are very slim, but it would be just as difficult for me to explain to the whuffo relatives and friends of the dead jumper (who may also be my own friends and relatives) that I didn't even try because I was too pessimistic to even consider the possibility of success.

Eiffel 65 - Blue (Instrumental) I just never get tired of hearing that tune.

Age 32 Sex M Avg 0.1908 My last 3 times were identical (0.172) which seems statisticaly unusual considering the precision of the measurement. Is that timer completely accurate ?

Well, looking at my map I'd say it was North-West... from me. ..but then I'm in the Southern part of Africa so I guess my perspective doesn't count.

Nice download. Thanx for the effort, James. BTW, anyone know what altitude they pulled at ? The video makes it look like they were still way up there.

Is there any other way we can see that video ? Is there a downloadable digital file hosted someplace ?
