    my justification...

    as some of you may have noticed, there have been a lot of messages typed at this desk in the last 24 hours or so. I think I may have some reasoning for this...I have been toying with the idea of quitting smoking for quite a while now, as cigarettes now cost 10 dollars a pack (yes, thats about 3 jumps per week @ 1 pack per day!) and are going up to 14 in the very near future. The last day or so has been my first legitimate attempt at not smoking whatsoever. I figure that, due to the lack of something to do with my hands, I've been putting some extra Kms on the old keyboard to keep em busy...now if I could only find a gir....I mean...something to satisfy the oral fixation....

    kind of amusing

    the thing stood about 5'8" or so judging by the guy standing next to it...he probably doesn't put them in a cabinet...probably uses them as lawn ornaments.

    kind of amusing

    I just finished watching the Ontario finals of a canadian strong man competition, which was, as they usually are, fairly impressive. The thing that really amused me was that the first place guy got to take home a "600lb granite trophy"...WTF? HASN'T THE GUY DONE ENOUGH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD?!?!?! Sorry to waste a thread on that, I couldn't help myself.

  7. does anybody know about the golden knights thing about 2 weeks ago? S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  8. I also remembered one other thing.... Given the fact that a canopies speed is relative to it's decent rate, or vise versa, if you increase the speed, you also increase the descent rate as well. i.e. if your canopy flies at a rate of 4ft forward to 1ft down, and you double the forward speed, you will also double the downward speed, and therefore need to react twice as fast., S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  9. [ true, but the only thing different was that the carve was a little lower than I had tried, but I still let up too high...way to high. I had lots of time left to get on the front risers, so I did. the only thing I mis judged was that point where I should've let go and flared.

  10. I hope to be...it's just a matter of finding enough canadian dollars to make it worth while converting it to U.S. and still have enough more trivial shit like food, and stuff.

  12. I don't know that it's right, or morally correct, but that made me laugh really hard. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  13. what do you know...ya learn something new everyday after all.
  14. I'm not sure about all waivers, but the ones I signed state that I nor others mave the right to sue even if due to negligence, of the dz, pilot, etc, etc, etc...

  15. Very good point, it's kind of gotten lost that this guy was also a jumper, and signed the same waiver. I don't see how he can (with a clear conscience that is,) waive his own rights, and think that his brother in law doing the same thing doesn't matter. I would think that black balling him would be an appropriate measure, as if he's going to sue over the loss of a family member in our sport, who know's what instructions he's left with his family in the event that he were to go in. Every action has it's consequences, and just as he obviously didn't consider the consequences of the waiver, he also hasn't considered the consequences of the law suit. But that's just me, I could be mistaken.

  16. yeah, I read that, I guess I put the wrong connotation on it. I appologize for the misenterpretation, it just sounded bitter and/or condescending in my head.

  17. the same way you can put it in your will that they can't sue. If on the waiver it says that you do not allow your family to have the right to sue on your behalf, and you signed it before you died....I kinda think that would cover it.

  18. Sorry, I guess I mistook your meaning with this. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  19. If I'm not mistaken, the waiver also takes away the right for family members to sue... S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  20. I think anyone who has been in the sport for a number of years (no, I don't mean myself, just in general) have actually experienced loss at one point or another, and many other people in various other ways. I lost very close friends last year, am I suing the American military for dropping a bomb on my friends? No. Although that actually was negligence, and probably would make for a better case. Anyhow, I am sorry that you had to go through what you did, but to assume no one else has dealt with close loss, is in my opinion, fairly ridiculous. No offence intended, just me talking.

  21. I really don't know what I'm talking about and certainly am not defending these types of people, but...I heard something when I was in Alberta about something to do with an insurance policy making it manditory for a guy to sue. Even though he had filled out the waiver, and apparently had no wishes of sueing anybody. Like I said, I'm not justifying anything, but that's the only reason I can see anybody doing it. If not that, they should be shot and pissed on...

  23. oh beleive me, I didn't exactly spring to my feet. hehehe, it was more of a 95 year old man getting out of a chair he's been sitting in for the last three hours and his arthritis is bugging him kind of speed.

  24. ok, we all know that it's kind of retarded, but honestly...if I were to have a double mal, I'd probably try to grow feathers and start flapping...it's worth a shot. although I think you'd have a hard time convincing a buddy to cutaway his main and track all the way back across the formation, in the bleak hopes to save your sorry ass, but hey, whatever works...
