Slyde has issues with jump pilots being required to undergo backround checks if they're flying above the TSA limit of 3500' above a public gathering. Seems he voiced his opinion a bit harshly to TSA, FAA, USPA and who knows who else, but someone got their dander up & banned him for "conduct unbecoming a skydiver." Search his posts for a clearer picture. A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Dealing with the reality of death and injury – enlighten a rookie!
madhatter replied to OlympiaStoica's topic in The Bonfire
I took an unintentional break from skydiving for about 2.5 years 2001 - 2004.. Life just got in the way. The death of a previous instructor and good friend shook me to my core, but it also reminded me of of skydiving and what I owed to the sport - the friends, experiences & lessons it had brought me. Much as I mourn Graham, his death is what motivated me to buy a rig & start jumping again. Some of the comments around here might seem harsh, but it's no less insensitive than discussing a motor vehicle accident. If a friend were to roll their car, you'd firstly be concerned, then you'd want to know what happened. Someone'll always speculate that it was negligence or some such mistake on the driver's side and sometimes it might actually be proven in the case of a DUI or the likes. The final outcome doesn't matter - for a few days you'll probably concentrate more on your own driving and being safe, but the event doesn't stop you from getting in your car and driving. The same goes for the Air France disaster last week - people are still boarding planes and flying across the globe. Skydiving, being the small community it is, tends to bring incidents much closer to home, but it still comes down to acceptance of risk - as does most our daily activities. I'd like to believe I'm not "defying death just for fun", but rather enjoying experiences and sights that many people unreasonably fearful of death will never be able to appreciate. Disclaimer: It's late here in SA, so I hope all of this makes some kind of sense -
