I apologize for the joking in advance. I'm not touching that one with a 10 foot pole and the other guy pushing. Seriously, if there were a jealousy issue or you think there will be one- don't do it.

But can't you still tip more anyway even after the auto tip has been added? I think I have seen that before. Gunnery Sergeant of Marines "I would like it if I were challenged mentally at my job and not feel like I'm mentally challenged." - Co-worker

I have been ROYALLY fucked when I decided to not put the auto tip for a party of 20. When you have a party that size, it ends up being your focus. So when you bust your ass for 2 hours and get a 8-10 dollar tip on a 200+ bill (and they were a happy group that seemed to like me as a server), it makes you think twice about not using the auto tip for large parties. Another reason they started doing that because inevitably a large group spends more than they thought and then they are all scraping together to get enough money to pay the bill itself, let alone the tip. Until they get rid of the low wage shit, I think the auto tip fpr large parties is usually the better bet. Thank GOD I am not a server anymore though. What a shit job. Like I said, they need to just pay the servers to begin with and get rid the whole idea of relying on the paying customer to take up the slack.

The whole idea isn' that anyone is impersonating an armed forces member but that they turned what we earned to wear into fashion, but like I said, anything that doesn't ressemble gov. issue is no big deal.

Another thing that is happening is a bill at a restuarant that the tip is automatically added in if the table size is more then "X" number of heads. I tip but I also think that if extra is to be paid why not just say that up front, and get rid of tipping all together. as far as wait staff goes pay them and stop this below minimum wage crap.

I feel the same way. I went through hell to become a Marine and EARNED my uniform. However I don't feel it is a big deal if they are bright colors like what she has described. but if it resembles a uniform that would otherwise be issued then...

I have seen shots a video of views from the jumpers belly and then the cover of parachutist from the guys foot.

rust me it's painfull enough, at least it was for me you will want to stop doing anything that makes use of the hand. It takes longer that 3 to 4 days too. It was a week before I went to the emergency room. It hurt bad enough that I thought I had a hair line fracture sort of like a boxers break. But I wasn't sure soI let it go for a week then went to be seen. Then it took another 3 weeks to heal well enough to use my hand again. maybe I had a really bad case. The second time it only took a couple of days to heal because I could tell much earlier what was happening and I stoped using the hand and then started treated it much sooner.

from what I remember, it took about 3 weeks to heal. I wore a wrist brace to immobilize and was prescribed 800 mils of motrin. I don't remember how many I actually took, but I had to take one twice a day til the prescription ran out. It didn't last the whole three weeks.

I'm not an online dweller, soI gotta ask what is IMO? Who else would deploy my main? I have the skill to transistion when I'm just tarting out? I agree scenerios are endless you can't guard against them all. Just the ones that are the most frequent and most likely, in my opinion it makes sense. 5000+ jumps is more experience than no video jumps. I didn't say I thought since the main was big that it wouldn't mal. I'm a rigger I know better than that. So what would/ could happen with a smooth set up? I asked all these questions and posted thoughts in all my post here because I seek guidance not to debate. just wanted to make that clear.

I am replying to the thread in general. I seem to remember in my coach training that an RSL is a device not to be relied upon and that it is a back up device only. Emergency procedures still should be done. I still practice this way, I pretent as if the back up devices don't exists. With that being said, The question is to have or not to have and why? I have, because I want the back up device. I don't fly camera, but I would like to. So far from what I have read/heard, reasons for not having an RSL pertain to the thought (I gather because of sentence structure and vocabulary) that an RSL is a primary device and that there is plenty of stuff on the helmet for a main to get caught on. I define a main as Risers, lines, slider, pilot chute, and canopy. This poses other thoughts, how many times has any part of a main snagged on a camera set up and why? Why is there plenty of things on a set up for a main to get caught on? Assuming that you DON'T have a snot rag for a canopy that will mal in a heart beat and spin you like a top, I'm beginning to think that if you deploy your main in a stable body position then the chances for anything getting caught on a smooth no snag set up will be very slim. I'm also thinking that someone that is new to camera flying may experience a loss in altitude awarness at the exspense of focusing on filming. Therefore, if you were to pull low and have a mal then a RSL may be beneficial if pulling stable and not jumping a small hiPer while also using a setup that was virtually snag free. I have a square as in not olipticle(sp?) HiPer, 1:1 load, I will build a set up that is smooth and protected. So last question- would I be on the right track generally speaking?

I agree, I have had ruptured tendon sheeths (tendonitis) in both forearms from an intense day of CRW. Mainly the connective tissue associated with the thuimb and fore-finger. Not both arms at once.

I'm not a camera flyer, but I do have a skyhook. This is what caught my interest in this thread. I'm also interested in reading the posts here because I'm going to give camera a try and I have the Skyhook. I can tell you from a rigger stand point and from a rsl use stand point that if you are wanting to be clear of your garbage when you cut away then the Skyhook would not be something to have. Unless there is a bag or container lock, the bad main is effectively your reserve pilot chute. Basically, until the free bag is free of the reserve you are connected tothe main. Since I don't fly camera yet, I don't know the pros/cons of an rsl so the post here will be interesting.

Apples and oranges to me. Much like to most people how Italians and Sicilians are the same. ...or to most wuffos that all square parachutes are the same.
