And "fun." You forgot "fun." The website clearly indicates that "fun" will be included. -
10-way Speed Meet @ Elsinore: Members wanted
RippedCord replied to RippedCord's topic in The Bonfire
I'm editing this because this was supposed to be a PM to Michele and I had too many frappacinos and posted the potential list we discussed at Starbucks on TalkBack, instead of sending it to her. Read Michele's post below for a coherent communication... :::headslap!::: D'oh! (ouch :::rubbing boo-boo:::) Jan 17 10-way speed meet @ Elsinore AMDG -
I couldn't agree more! Victory is mine! AMDG

Homeowners or renters insurance. You don't need to have it written into the policy as all your possessions are insured for the named perils anywhere in the world up to the stated limits in the policy; your rig will fall well within those limits. However, with large ticket items, it is always good to have receipts and/or video of your posessions to make the claims process go more smoothly should you need to file a claim. Generally, when you are filling out the application, it asks if you own any especially valuable items and what they're worth--but this language isn't binding. AMDG

10-way Speed Meet, Elsinore, Jan 17?
RippedCord replied to RippedCord's topic in Events & Places to Jump
There is a 10 Way Speed Meet being held at Elsinore on Saturday Jan 17. The website presupposes alot of knowledge about competitions, and I have some questions: 1. According to the website "Part 55 rules will be in effect in regards to grips and separation." What in the world are "Part 55 rules?" 2. What's a No-Show No-Grip exit? 3. Round One mentions a "3rd point." Are there any rules with regard to what formations must be formed at each point, or can the team decide that a grip release and re-grip in a standard round formatio with no movement is a point all in itself? Has anyone done this before? What are my chances of getting on a team if I just show up on Saturday morning? AMDG -

The Dropzone.com USPA Liability Insurance Poll
RippedCord replied to Scrumpot's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Well, skydiving definitely involves the occupancy or use of an aircraft. It is excluded. If your agent tells you differently, get that in writing so that when you get sued you can pass the suit's damages onto his Errors & Omissions liability carrier if your claim is denied by your homeowners carrier. AMDG -
Is this one of those questions that Kirk proposed to Nomad in "The Changeling?" If one answers "yes, moderators should be allowed to do anything they want" then that conflicts with the rest of sentence which would discourage moderators having unlimited rights on the airplane. Likewise, answering "no, moderaters should not be allowed to do anything they want" conflicts with the rest of the sentence which would give them free reign. My brain hurts and I am torn between the freedom of the individual versus the good of the many. AMDG

The Dropzone.com USPA Liability Insurance Poll
RippedCord replied to Scrumpot's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Section II of any of the basic ISO policies provides Personal Liability coverage: "If a claim is made or a suit is brought against an 'insured' for damages because of 'bodily injury' or 'property damage' caused by an 'occurrence' to which this coverage applies, we will pay up to our limit of liabilty for the damages for which an 'insured' is legally liable." Now, that is the insuring clause which is very broad and is followed by a set of exclusions (as opposed to Section I which covers only certain named perils). One of the standard exclusions is "aircraft liability." And the policy will read "This policy does not cover 'aircraft liability.'" You then need to go to the definitions section which says this is liability for 'bodily injury' or 'property damage' arising out of the "Maintenance, occupancy, operation, use, loading or unloading of such vehicle or craft by any person." OK...that's personal liability from a usual homeowners form. The poll above actually addresses "excess liability" which usually refers to an umbrella coverage over one's personal auto and homeowner's liabilty coverages, and you'd need to check that policy to see if it "drops down" to cover liability from occurrences excluded by the primary policies. -
