The best information would come from container manufactures "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

PD does not publish pack volume by cubic inch because they believe the methods employed are not consistent enough. They do provide this handy chart http://www.performancedesigns.com/packingchart.asp but that only helps in comparing PD canopy to PD canopy. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Well, if the 40-way doesn't have the paperwork to make it "official", and the 32-way notifies USPA to claim a record, isn't that like stealing someone else's record, knowing full well that you didn't really set a record? I think all 40 of the 40-way guys are going to be a little peeved if some 32-way claims a big-way record that they didn't really earn. Look at all the fuss about that Bones guy who intentionally messed up a head down record to keep his own record from being beaten. Isn't this akin to that? Maybe the minimums needed for a starting point should be set retroactively by researching them in old Parachutist magazines. We shouldn't just ignore all the older skydives and start from scratch. It's like Orwell's "1984" Newspeak, where we re-write history to pretend that previous things never actually happened. Normiss says we need previous records to have something to beat. Well, we DO have those previous records. Just because they weren't filled out in triplicate on the latest claim form, doesn't mean they don't exist. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth... No, I disagree entirely. If there is, for example, a known 40 way in a state, well that means that 40 skydivers got together in freefall. It doesn't mean that skydive was a record quality one, because it wasn't measured against that criteria. Were all the slots and grips correct according to the declared formation? Who knows.

Good list. They also have magnetic riser covers. I do not know if that is standard or an option. It is fairly new for Wings. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Good, a few more of these lawsuits and word will get out and these BS charges and harassment will stop. Don't think that will be any time soon. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

This is why he really needs to talk to the manufacturer. Most manufacturers what you have written is true. for a wings, the size they say it is sized for is the MAXIMUM size so you do not want to order a container sized for a 170 then try to shove a 190 into it.

I completed my A license jumping every other weekend in 3 months. Those were fall/winter months so I was weathered out some weekends. If you can jump just about every weekend you should be able to get your A at one place. At the very least you should be able to get to self-supervised status at one place. That advice about keeping good records (both a log book and an A license progression card) was really good advice. Every drop zone I've jumped at had log books for sale. Almost all DZs are going to have a few basics for sale (goggles, altimeters, logbook, etc). The large drop zones may have full gear stores, the smaller ones won't but some are able to order on request. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You don't need slack if the bridle is coming out from the bottom. You do need slack if the bridle is coming out of the top. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

You should be able to continue progress at multiple drop zones. You may or may not be able to do that without doing some repeat training/jumps. It would depend upon the particulars of the timing of your moves, the completeness of your records, and the particular drop zones that are involved. Sorry I can't be more definitive. What is the longest time you will be in one place? Will you be able to jump regularly? every weekend? during the week? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Wings will, I believe, custom build you a container for a larger reserve and a smaller main. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

I am confused by this explanation? Did the borrowed canopy come or risers? RSL ring not on the same side? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

It's in part an illustration of the difference between legalized prostitution and what you get when it's outside regulated business. That said, I don't have great faith that legalization would eliminate the trafficking plight. BTW, if we want to talk about grade A D bags....Dennis Hof- owner of the bunny ranch - is a prime specimen. I think it would reduce (but not eliminate) the trafficking problems. Prohibition just isn't working here either. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

How do you KNOW if you are facing into WIND? . There is ONLY one type of wind that a canopy knows about .. but hey, that's all relative Hey Einstein, quit confusing everybody "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

do-right "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Yes, many do. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Pretty sure the Airport Access Defense Fund and U.S. Parachute Team Trust Fund are both set up that way, so I wouldn't go assuming that USPA can't do that in this area. If USPA wanted to, well, I think it would be pretty easy to plus in some (conservative) assumptions and come up with a fair value number for a lifetime membership. This number seems to have come out of thin air, as far as I can tell. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

We had to chew bark to make our own fiber "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

The people making the arguments on slavery certainly believed they were making straightforward plain readings and did believe their beliefs about slavery were fundamental to the religion in just about exactly the same way that people reflect on homosexuality today. Here is one such quote from the above mentioned Thornwell, who is one of the most important antebellum theologians: The parties in this conflict are not merely abolitionists and slaveholders—they are atheists, socialists, communists, red republicans, jacobins, on one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other. In one word, the world is the battleground—Christianity and Atheism the combatants; and the progress of humanity at stake. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Sexual orientation is a protected category in some states and localities, although not federally. There is a long history of racial segregation being rooted in religion. Look up John Henley Thornwell and/or the historical exegesis of Ham, Shem, and Japeth for some compelling examples. I have libertarian leanings and I wish it was not necessary but this appears to be a proper role for government to me. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Yes, but not with USPA rated instructors. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
