I actually wanted to be a fire-fighter when I was a kid.One trip to the fire-station, a ride in a firetruck and splashing water with their cool toys and I was sold... Ended up being a doctor instead. I love it and you have a lot more options later on in your career. "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

VonSanta is a very lucky boy...He is going to inherit my beautiful (pink & purple!!!) rig and chute once I get my brand new odyssey home from the states in late february! I want it now!!! "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Smegging shit weather. I don't mind the cold it's all those bloody clouds and the rain and the wind... Danish winters sucks big time. "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

***Atheism is a religion, with a set of beliefs just like any other...and equally unprovable.*** Atheism is NOT a religion. An atheist is simply someone who as the name states don't believe in the existens of gods. The fact that it is impossible to prove doesn't make it a religion.

Cool. welcome! "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Spend as much time as humanly possible jumping out of airplanes. Not breaking any bones this year (in any sport) "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Ain't all skydivers per definition dorks? We spend most of our time and money riding in air-planes just to jump out off them. We aquire a very weird vocabulary as soon as we start jumping (for some reason I've started saying "dude" a lot after becoming a skydiver). We all develop an immense interest in all sort of expensive and technical gadgets. We do something completely useless and meaningless (at least my parents tells me it is) just because it's so bloody fun and we really don't care that other people consider us to be time-and-space wasting bums, because we are happy bums. At least I am! "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Well, I was at work on a 25-hour shift yesterday when I replied to your post. And I do tend to get quite grumpy when I don't get my sleep . But yes the discussion has been amusing. But I still very much would like to see the facts you've collected on the subject, for the sake of my curiosity. At least I got a few more post so I'm closer to get rid of this irritating newbie-status

Well,this isn't true. Increased pressure in the middle ear will not cause any change to the outer size of the head.If the pressure is to high the ear-drum will burst, air will escape and the preassure will reduce. "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

If you deside to trash me, please do me the curtesey an read what I written. I personaly think that "I am a smegging doctor" is a quite clear statement, but hey what do I know. So here it is loud and clear. Yes I am a doctor!. Well that wasn't very objectiv, but I needed to get it out of my system. Now I'm all nice again. And yes I still would like to get a medical expalantion or indead theory to your claim for the sake of my curiosity, so if anyone has it please speak up. I would very much like to know what kind of study you've been doing on the subject, how it was built, for what purpose and what the result was. I have no doubt what so ever that you are far superior to me in any and all areas of skydiving. I'm not writing this to diss you or piss you of...(well mayby the first couple of lines in this post...), but simply because I disagree with you. And for anyone who is curious my nickname has nothing what so ever to do with my profession. It's the name of the drum-machine of my favorite band The Sisters Of Mercy "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Dude your loading your chute pretty heavily for your experience level. I'm not gonna tell you what to do. Even though you describe yourself as a safe and responsible skydiver you will make mistakes. And when you do you might just need the extra forgiveness a bigger chute gives you. I talk from experience. I considered me a very safe and sensible skydiver (still do though other may disagree ) But never the less I did something VERY, and I mean VERY, stupid on my jump #70. I walked away with a broken shoulder, but that was pure luck. I was very glad that I choose a bigger canopy (and for the fact that it had rained very heavily for a week so that the ground was nice and soft ) "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"

Good luck with it dude! Hope the tests leave you in the clear. Brain surgery is scary. "We Are The Light At The End Of Your Sorry Little Tunnel"
