  1. Where, exactly, have you gotten the idea that your AAD is likely to be " firing for no good reason at 150 ft. AGL"-------------------------------- Yeah, also I think a Cypress turns it self off around that altitude _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  2. I think I know what your talking about. I believe it was called off because the woman to jump got sick (head cold) or something like it. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  3. Yeah, Irans' leader said Isreal should be wiped off the face of the planet, and oh by the way were restarting our nuke program for electricity/other peaceful needs. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

  5. This summer I want to get licensed, but I don't know where to start. ---------------------------------------------------- Are you in the USA? If so the license you want is through the USPA. ( united states parachute association) Check out the web page at USPA.org The requirments for an A license (beginer) or there. Look at the A license proficency card. There listed are the thing you will need to learn to complete the training. 25 jumps. Good luck,

  7. i'm upping the number of cases of beer going to KCSC in your name to two cases! and i will make sure it's the good stuff(green bottles). -------------------------------------- Good stuff? green bottles? Piss in a bottle? It is what it tastes like. Hienken? keep it. And stay out of Kansas. Unless you want to bring over a few cold New Castles! _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan

  9. Hay Dmetz, How often do you have to change broken rubber bands? Often? Personaly I do not double stow any lines on my rig. I change worn bands before they break. My Pilot takes fairly long to inflate, but double stows will not realy add to a snivel. The position of the slider and the nose will more than likley determine a longer snivel. Once, I knew this dude with a Velo. He would make up his locking stows ONLY. Then Figure 8 the rest of the lines in the tray like a base rig. He perfered the openings and stated he found to have less likley line twist on deployment. That the reason I don't double stow on my rig, line twist, However YMMV.
  10. It already exists and has for some time. It is called a pud, pull-out, dildo etc. Even a ripcord or SL system does not have this problem.
  11. 1.9 is a little heavy also. But the answer to your question is NO, I do not jump thoes canopies anymore.
  12. Ok. I'm confused. _______________________________________ Yeah, I'm confused also. Why would the USPA allow this? Unfortunatly there are some D- lic. jumpers who are not responsible enought to take students on jumps. Prior to an A lic, they are students not novices. Only a USPA Coach or higher understands the responsibality and has been trained in dealing with students. Hopefully! _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  13. So what is the ratio of instructors men to women? _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  14. I have had my rig pencil packed by a rigger before. It turned up 120 days later when my regular rigger called me asking about my rig I had dropped off to him for a repack. He stated that the card was signed by (this) rigger, but still had his (the regular rigger) seal from the last time he worked on it. 240 days prior.

  15. >>>I hear of the sanctity of marriage in this country..... and the 50%+ divorce rate and see some HUGE amounts of hypocrisy there. Currently in the USA it is at 64% of all marriges end in divorce. _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  16. >>Just wondering what you are teaching new students about a downplane under student gear?

  17. The misunderstanding that an RSL deployment from a spining malfunction is common. The fact is that line twists in that situction are most often caused by the jumper struggling to get belly to earth while deploying the reserve.
  18. Where in the US Constitution is that? Are you speaking as a lawyer practicing in the US? Or as someone who heard something from a DZO who got the info from a FOAF?
  19. : Does anyone know of a case in which a lawsuit was brought against a DZ and the waiver was rendered null and void?
  20. ....i am just starting to wonder if there is something out there telling me in a "gentle" way that I shouldn't be doing this.....i never felt that way until about 20 non-skydivers told me this.....i still really don't.....but wanted to get the opinions of skydivers ----------------------------------------------- So what your asking is " Should I quit jumping?" _________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan
  21. Thank you! I didn't want to be the first person to post this. I actually deleated my post. (skydivermom said) >>He has a size 150 main canopy for sale and he's letting it go to me for about $1200.$1200?? I haven't checked canopy prices lately, but that seems high for something used.>>Anytime I sell anything, my motivation is to get money for it. I think that's true for anyone else that sells something. If he's not trying to get money, what is he trying to get? Reading your post, I have 'red flags' going off
  22. And if the deal he offers is "we will stop all attacks and all you have to do is let me live" - that might even be a decent deal.
