You are right, I would have much rather read about jumping the corner in a post humourous thread entitled, If he would have only asked. Not every one has all of the answers at 91 jumps..... Ease up..... BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE! Free the soul -- DJ

Nick, You crack me up! Cant wait to meet you in person! See ya at the bridge. BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE! Free the soul -- DJ

Laying in bed last night thinking about this B I want to jump (much later) I started thinking of the safest position on the building to launch from. I figured it would be the safest (Winds allowing) to jump from the corner of a building instead of the flat. This would allow more flight area in case of an off heading opening. (see attached diagram) If you had a 180 off heading, jumping in this manner would require less riser/toggle input to avoid the B. If anyone has an opinion on this, or sees something I am overlooking, please let me know. You guys have been a real help in the past, and I know there is alot of knowledge on this site. Thanks!

Nick I would like to buy you a drink and sit down with you at Bridge day this year and just listen. You have a fascinating wealth of knowledge on our past. Thank you for all of your posts, I have been enlightened by them all. BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE! Free the soul -- DJ

I essentially know the answer, but to plat devil's advocate....Since hang gliding is allowed in NP's could you launch from a hang glider, or would that be considered Aerial Descrimination...err delivery? BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE! Free the soul -- DJ

As the person that will have to A) Clean her up and take care of her or B)Explain to our kids that Mom bounced because she refuses to make good choices and wants to hang her safety on the heads of others. IE (And I quote the converstaion we are having right now) "If people are not going to tell me it is not safe to jump how in the hell can I know?" I am so tired of trying to drill safety into her head. It is always someone eleses fault other than her own. I am stating this publicly so there IS NO DOUBT how I feel. Misty...In my opinion as a friend, husband and instructor IS NOT READY to be under a 126. PERIOD! If she doesnt do something to curve her attitude toward safety SHE IS GOING TO DIE! She will be survived by 4 children who love her dearly. Perhaps if you spent more time reading the Safety Forums and less time post whoring you could learn something from this awesome source of knowledge we call dropzone.com BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE!

So she had a 126 reserve which she bought at 30 jumps which you sold for her and she went and bought another? We originally bought her rig for use at a LATER time!..(got a great deal on it) she was wanting to jump it, and the best way I could figure to keep it on the ground till she was ready for it was to sell the reserve. She just recently bought a new one (without me knowing) and reassembled the rig...) Hope thins clarifies Just trying to clarify.

Justaflygirl left work today in hopes to "Air it out" and instead ended up landing on the taxiway (Tarmac) barefooted with no flare. (OUCH!) She was taken by ambulance to the local hospital (Pasco County) for abrasions to her feet. When I talked to her last, she said that 3 of her toe nails were rashed off. I will post in the incidents forum when she gets here and all of the facts are known. Right now this is what we know: Equipment: Javelin TJN/Sabre 2 150/PD126R/cypres 3 Jumps on the new canopy (including this one) and only about 70 total. For those of you that know her PLEASE send her some wise words with your vibes! I have talked till I am blue in the face about safety and good choices while skydiving, and it doesnt seem to be doing any good. I know she talks to quite a few of you on a regular basis, and maybe hearing it from someone other than her signifigant other will help. I sold her last reserve (PD 126R) Because she wanted to jump it at around only 30-35 jumps...(She is around 135lbs OTD) and I told her it was not safe. She just recently bought this one from a friend. I have had NUMEROUS conversations with her about the consequences of jumping barefoot, and the all around danger of having a luke warm attitude about safety. Hopefuly what didnt kill her will make her stron....err...Smar...err...Safer BASE 3:16 - Even if you are about to land on a cop - DONT FORGET TO FLARE! Free the soul -- DJ
