By likely, I mean relatively. Not being insured does not mean unable to be fiscally responsible. Read a DZ waiver, it will give you an idea of the kinds of things DZ's are not insured for. I think most jumpers are aware that if the airplane gears up, or roasts a hot section, that we won't be jumping that afternoon after a call to our friendly state farm agent. Granted, but I would also like to know if the office roof caves in and kills my wife, I might have recourse to recover! Of if a fire in the hangar roasts my favorite tee shirt with me in it, I can sue for replacement. 'Many, many other' such possibilities come to mind that as a business owner I'm careful to limit my business's liability over. ~ "Pack Fast, Pull Low... and Date Your Riggers WIFE!" ~

...the rest of us can't say ... *** It's generally considered impolite to speak for others when voicing a personal opinion. I believe YOU don't know what YOU would do, you seem to be a bit to emotional to handle a situation like that.

How many different reserve malfunctions have you trained for? Can you list them? Hard pull Handle / cable separation Cable / pin separation premature deployment Bag lock streamer blown panels broken lines steering toggle separation slider hang up line over riser separation horseshoe & acid reflux. And yes I had a line over on a round reserve that I hook knifed, but that wasn't a high speed as you were referring to. What kind did you have? Was it something you had never heard of or considered? I'm not being glib, just interested if it IS something I'm NOT prepared for! Several such malfunctions in a month would kill nearly everyone, no matter how good they are or how well they think under pressure. Agreed, if an individual faced that challenge, but how about among everyone at your dropzone? I see that I wasn't 'clear' with my analogy, I meant among your peer group!...sorry ~ "Pack Fast, Pull Low... and Date Your Riggers WIFE!" ~

Are you allowed to break a certain number of commandments and still be allowed into Heaven. Or is it break one, and straight to Hell. I suspect the latter...so I'm going to Hell...many times over. If each 'kitten killed' is a sin, then yes you are! ~ "Pack Fast, Pull Low... and Date Your Riggers WIFE!" ~

Don't believe for a second that your experience is any more valid than my experience. Overall in life, I do not, however in the context here I believe I have a bit more exposure to police on both a good and bad side. No, high speed RESERVE malfunction. It ain't just another mal. However the possible variables involved pertaining to action to be taken, are finite and therefor may be trained for in advance. Confronting an armed suspect holds and infinite number of possibilities as to actions and reactions...training helps, but only quick and deliberate analyzation and decisions keep you alive. Why do, as you said, 'some' police seem overly aggressive and cautious? Imaging if your reserve malfunctioned several times a MONTH?! ~ "Pack Fast, Pull Low... and Date Your Riggers WIFE!" ~

Substantial: Considerable in importance, value, degree, amount, or extent. >>>See above before you twist my words any further, please. significant amount does not equate to majority.

I've had enough experience with the police to know that a substantial portion of the time, they cause their own problems. I take that to mean more than half? A statement like that demonstrates either an extreme naivete or an inability to objectively make a logical argument without stating ill informed emotional impressions as fact. Are you saying you KNOW that more then HALF of ALL cops that find themselves in a bad situation CREATED it THEMSELVES? Conjecture isn't proof of fact. OR, it could be that maybe you are a little naive, in which case allow me to perhaps open your consciousness in some small way in regard to what it's like to be a police officer in the real world. To say that police cause their own problems is as ludicrous as saying the Catholic Nuns that were raped and killed during their attempts to render aid to the needy, 'had it coming' and caused THEIR own problems. The street cop answering radio calls rarely if ever is being summoned to attend a tea party, his or her presence is being requested because a situation has developed negatively to the point that it is out of control for the average citizen's ability to contend. It's a job that REQUIRES you to carry a firearm and bullet resistant clothing...stop here, and think about that for a minute. You may think you were 'stressed' on your first night 8 way, try walking into a dark unfamiliar building filled with screams for help and gunfire... Do you KNOW what a gunshot victim LOOKS like up close? Have you ever seen what a shotgun does to a human being's face? Carry THOSE images with you as you try to calmly clear a house and settle an armed confrontation peacefully. ...Then fill out a report and move on to THE NEXT problem that someone has called about, then the next... When I was in law enforcement, my single primary objective when I left for work was to return home safe and alive. If I could help people in my need during that time "BONUS", if I had to hurt someone in order to achieve my primary objective successfully, then so be it. I never arbitrarily just pulled someone over, or walked into someones home uninvited to start some shit for an ego boost. I worked in Detroit not May-berry, in some of the areas patrolled it's a statically known and proven FACT that in just under 70% of the arrests after 11pm- illegal drugs, excessive alcohol and use of weapons were factors. So if you worked 3rd shift, answered 10 calls, almost 3/4's of them... you were dealing with mentally impaired and armed people. And you say the POLICE cause their own problems? How by showing up?! Again, I don't know WHAT you are studying as a student, (profile reference) but something you should know, if you find yourself in a situation with the police, do what they say to do...if you're not breaking the law you have nothing to worry about. If you throw down, point a gun, become verbally abusive, EXPECT to be treated as someone with the intent of keeping that police officer...another human being... from being safe and going home. ~ "Pack Fast, Pull Low... and Date Your Riggers WIFE!" ~
