I can't believe this! Finally a practical post without flaming. This is one of the best posts I've seen anywhere on this forum. Thank you Para5-0

It's sad that when you post here you have to worry about getting flamed or trampled to death.

I myself own very high end hifi audio gear. Believe it or not without the right cables (that happen to cost thousands of dollars) it is impossible to enjoy the sound the gear was made to produce. I'm not so sure about the digital cables though. It seems to me that bytes are bytes. But you never know. A little snake oil can go a long way to make a digital picture look much better.....go figure.

Interesting comments.....I guess maybe I'm just not young enough to get it. Eh?

The mockery is of people that really want to consider downsizing. The problem is pointing out stupid people is stupid. What's the point. How productive can that be in the Safety and Training forum?

I don't think this is funny whatsoever. It is mockery at its worst.

I'm not sure if it is a good excuse but it for sure is my excuse.

I am baffled by people who claim they can't reach it. Hmmm. Well I could not reach mine. When I started skydiving I was a competing bodybuilder. Because of the size of my lats and my arms there was NO way I could get there unless the bottom of the container was riding extra low. Contrary to popular belief most bodybuilders are extreemely flexible just as I am. I had to use a special rig instead of the student rigs to continue my training. Also I found that reaching the BOC while standing or sitting is completly different then reaching it while falling belly to earth. As you reach back in freefall your (or at least mine) trap muscle flexes against the harness which in turn limits the reach "range". Maybe regular size people don't have this problem but it is on my mind every single jump.
