Just wondering who else has already been caught in the middle of conflicts between public safety and hipaa. Seems like all the previous clarifications from court decisions from the old hipaa have been thrown out and now they're starting over deciding on how to interpret this boondoggle rewrite-so the conflicts between mandatory reporting of crimes/victims vs hipaa is back all over again. Sucks! OK end of rant.......

Also keep in mind dust devils-and if they come in over grass or the runway there won't be any dust in them to see. They've scared the crap outta me before!

Remarks of Chairman Jim Hall before the Parachute Industry Association September 20, 1997, Chattanooga, Tennessee In both of these accidents, the Safety Board found that the parachutists on the flight were not properly secured by seat belts or restraints. This was extremely important because impact forces were survivable, particularly at Perris Valley. Had the jumpers been wearing seat belts, lives may have been saved. The Safety Board made recommendations both to the FAA and to the U.S. Parachute Association following the Perris Valley and Hinckley accidents. The recommendations urged the FAA to require mandatory use of seat belts by parachutists, and develop better safety restraint systems and seating with parachutist industry. ______________________________________________ My first urge was to write a WTF; then I started to copy and paste info to answer some of your questions(easily found if you really wanted further info than the basic NTSB report) I really don't get where you're coming from with your post???? You do know that DanBC works at Perris now? +10 to Quade's post.

To learn more about it they have to learn to pack their gear, inspect it, learn how it was tested, learn how it's repaired etc. It's a process that can take years or decades. _________________________________________________ And I believe that was his point-for newer jumpers they initially feel lost when it comes to gear and decisions about it and so have to rely on TSO/riggers etc and have trust in them.

more uber vid.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNjIS2ReEqo ducking under my puke repellant umbrella now.

I think I've got it...it's that smile from the Extenze commercials! You go girl!

Come on Dan, what else do you expect by now.....after all Cliffwhite is.... SUPERTROLL!!!! -------------(please don't feed the trolls.)

cliffwhite has got to be the worst troll around here-lets starve him out!!!!

Once again...please don't feed the trolls! If they don't get fed they might go away eventually...hopefully!!!

Please don't feed the trolls!

Looks fun! But then you have to break it down each time for on the lift? Hmmm, I'm picturing lift off from the top of Mammouth Mt when the winds howlin!

No trolls here and I don't feed trolls.

Hey clifftrollwhite.... If you want to have a real discussion about issues with your provocative posts; How bout being clear about your point? And try filling in your profile? If you want to tear at the "establishment" OK. Make people think-do the right thing. But if you want to tear at the individuals that put their butts on the line then you're pretty clueless. After having friends and family been there, with some lost and more still in harms way....... Well try mannin' up a bit and at least fill out your profile. Otherwise later troll.....

Blue skies bro. You will be missed by many.....

The jet's been a couple years now and the Cessna was before that. So yea it should be called rare occurences, but the "impact" of the potential sure does make a lasting impression and seems significant when it's your own butt puckering up out there!

No not necessarily. You've seen it happen, ok. Now if you're going to say that this happens to be a signifcant problem, I would say you're a dorkzoner. Like I said, I've never seen it happen and no one else I know has seen it happen. Maybe they just have better traffic controllers at Perris/Elsinore? Sometimes I have to remember that all DZ's and their safety-culture are not created equal Hmmm, My home DZ is Perris and both times for me were at Perris...... Talk to Tim bout aircraft not on radio and flyin HUA...... For me-one a new pilot toolin along low and cruised under our 4 way as we opened-a slow moving 182 out and low against the ground is tough to see. (I look closer now!) Second was a small jet-blasted thru jump run between groups at bout 9000ft. He was goin fast!!!! At his speed he had to be so far away on exit I don't think anyone could know he was coming till too late. And I'm sure I looked real spastic pointin at that jet with my eyes bugged out! O boy! Can I be a dorkzoner now too?!

I hope they're also giving you FATS training? And no not calling anyone fat! That's firearms training system.

My only criticism of Crowley is he used poor tactics....if Gates was a bad guy with a partner in the res Crowley as an initial responding single man unit may well have been toast. Personally.....(having worked patrol as a single man unit with some ah shit I fucked up tactics on that one and I'm really lucky to be alive moments) Report of Burg in progress-2 of them-ask for BU en rt. first one encountered in res-uncoop, refuses to show ID-(gun drawn on entry please) , he gets tazed or OCed (or if a weapon shows he gets shot) and cuffed. wait for back and then clear the rest of the res. at gunpoint. Sort out the rest of who he is after you're code 4! (Loudly verbalize all commands and make sure your digital recorder is rolling) So Crowley was actually being pretty low key at risk of his own neck........ And Gates/Obama would really be yelling if the above tactics were followed! (Too bad!) Hmmm, OK I figure someone here's gonna pick apart the above tactics So I'll just say it now-then please don't work patrol cause you probably won't last long!

Fact is anyone-no insurance, even no ID, no english, etc etc goes to an ER and they will be treated! (And most have already figured that out.) Even admitted to the hospital, surgery done and then discharged just like anyone else. Now who do you suppose that cost is passed on to???? You and me! So I guess there is already de facto universal coverage for all........

Go to the upchucky.com site; off to the right is the jukeboxes-all the way to the 40's!!!! Glenn Miller band just for you!

shit...I'm too tired and drunk to make it a clicky...somebody help me out???

Perris-jump jump jump, then bombed at the bombshelter! (Again!)

I'm really not familiar with the hc9, however figured I'd throw out what recently happened on my dcr-hc42- Same thing; was driving me crazy. Computer wasn't seeing the cam at all. In the touch screen menu the "connection" was turned to off, I think it may have been reset when I was slow changing batteries or hit master reset button. Hope this helps?

This is an excellent point, and I'd like to hear a thorough answer from anyone on the pro-WSI rating side. I'm a bit puzzled by the impetus for the call for USPA to regulate wingsuiting on the level of AFF and tandems. From the brief scanning of this thread I've done, it seems that "safety" is the driving motivation. But how many deaths/injuries can be attributed to manufacturer-rated instructors "not following the rules"? Perhaps 2 that I'm aware of (and even that's debatable). Are there more? Each year's USPA fatality report shows multiple swooping deaths, most from people operating far below the USPA/manufacturer recommended experience for the maneuver, canopy choice, and/or wing loading. Is there a real probability that a USPA CPI rating system will be mandated any time soon? If USPA hasn't "regulated" canopy piloting instruction (which has a much worse safety record) yet, what makes us think they'll really bring the hammer down on wingsuiting first? With that in mind, is the posted proposal really "in front of the train, running at the same speed than to be hit by it", or is it actually fueling a train that would run out of steam on its own before long? +10! The WL charts arn't even enforced. Don't wanna be rude but why does all the self important calls for "atmo needs instruction" joke keep echoing in my head....
