Absolutely. Experience has nothing to do with safety. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Oakley Fuel Cells in freefall

I've been jumping with a pair of Bolle glasses. Put croakies on them, and they aren't coming off. Haven't had any issues with wind yet either. Probably wouldn't freefly with them though. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. -
TV PRODUCER TRYING TO SOURCE VIDEO
Hvance replied to outrageousvids's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The video of a jumper doing his first AFF jump made it to one of those shows. He got on his back and spun. At 11,000 ft, "he is seconds from death". After a fashion, true. Hyped for the tv audience, definitely. I'd say it's hyped... But then again, what's 40 seconds? Long enough! Oh, we're talking about skydiving.

I wonder if Wendy has been in the sky with diamonds since.....oh the suspense... I thought the exact same thing. Bet we would in fact see her again.. It was a joke...Wendy is very active in crew despite her "near death experience" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?username=faulknerwn; Right... I was saying the same thing as you. The narrator makes it sound like this scared her away from skydiving. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. -
Actually someone new just took over the Snack Shack. Prices are great and food is even better. It takes a little longer to get it but it's worth the wait. Yeah, Steve's doing a good job with that. Now if we could only get some lunch before 12:30. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Sounds like you have a classic drinking problem. Good movie! I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

It seems you're holding different things equal. I think what he's trying to get at is that all things held equal, longer lines will generate more G-force. But all things are not equal of course. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Yep. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

You had me at food and beer. Just out of curiosity, Its been a while since I have been to the farm, bout how far is the nearest source of food? Trying to figure out if I should just pack a cooler full of sammiches. (hmm... better yet, who can I get to bring me said sammiches?) Depends on what you want. The "Snack Shack" is open on jump days and will make you hamburgers/sammiches/etc. If you want a sitdown restaurant, 10-20 minute drive. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Since I just completed AFF a few months ago, the experience is still fresh. I remember the second jump being the most intimidating. Part of that was because my first jump resulting in a nasty opening, but most of it was simply due to the fact that I knew what to be afraid of. Easier to be scared of 14,500 feet when you've actually looked down from that height! Of course, AFF2 was a blast, and was the jump I decided to get a license on. I would give it a bit more time.

That doesn't help. Which part of me should be the start point of measurement? I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Makes sense to me. Being arrested doesn't mean you did something wrong. You're innocent until proven guilty by due process of law. True. The judge can keep record in mind when determining bail, but they won't (and shouldn't) presume guilt. It's part of the cost of having the legal system we do; the guilty do sometimes get to walk around prior to trial. But that's the only way to preserve the right for the innocent to do the same.

Exact same thing happened on my level 5. Would have liked a bit more feedback, but it's all good there. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
