Landing on your butt: risk vs likelihood?
mrubin replied to eatfastnoodle's topic in Safety and Training
I used a good PLF last weekend to save myself from what would have been an unexpected rough landing. I hadn't jumped in a few weeks and on my first jump of the day I flared too early and too hard. I popped up high and immediately prepared for a PLF. After I landed I got right up, dusted myself off, grabbed my gear, and went to pack for my next jump. Without a PLF I probably wouldn't have been able to get moving so quickly. I think the key is to know that you have a good PLF in your toolbox and not be afraid to use it. I'd much rather PLF and get dirty in front of everybody than try to force a stand-up landing and hurt myself. Dirt washes away a lot faster than pain.

Nobody said it doesn't happen in the NFL, it's just that in soccer it happens a LOT more frequently. I don't see anything that convinces me that isn't true. People who don't like soccer just use that as a cudgel to bash the game with, while ignoring so much similar behavior in football and (especially) basketball. It is true that different cultures have different feelings about this sort of "gamesmanship" The NBA has recently started fining players for doing that. Whether or not it ends up having any real impact has yet to be seen but at least they are trying to do something about it. http://nba.si.com/2014/06/09/dwyane-wade-flop-fine-manu-ginobili-heat-spurs-finals/ "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

After spending over $7000 is it unreasonable to ask for a free reserve pack?

I like to say that I bought a really expensive t-shirt and got a free canopy with it. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery -
I've never done much work with any photoshopping software so I'm not sure how good of a job I could do. Plus I don't have anything other than Microsoft paint to work with on my computer. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I'm painting my brick fireplace white to give it a new look. The part I'm having trouble figuring out is whether or not to paint the section of wall right behind the brick (with an arrow pointing to it). So give me your opinion. Should I paint that section or leave it as is? "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I would recommend getting a rig that you can put a standard 190 into. That gives you more options on what canopies you can put in there at that size and the option to downsize or upsize. Just my $0.02. "I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
