    ..think the guy who wrote it has a passion for skydiving?



    He is either trying to keep morons from asking difficult questions, or he is just putting the FUN in FUNdamentalist.

  2. Could America invade iraq?
    Some fear that it will be like another Vietnam. I think it can be more like another Stalingrad if Saddam choose to keep his units inside the cities. Capturing Iraqi cities held by an determinant defender, or even a militia, will cause lots of casualties. Maybe more than a democracy has stomach for.

  3. Probably because of the Internet's ability to mishandle
    transmissions.

    Looks like someone have managed to harness the only infinite source of energy/cash/whatever: Stupidity.

  4. Places I have landed in one windy day:

    Jump 1
    On a field several kilometers away that looked just like the landing area.

    Jump 2
    I was standing still about 50ft above a power line, hoping that the winds would be calmer lower down. I was happy when I saw that I was going to fly over the power line but at the same time I realised that there where no way in hell I could fly over the line of trees 5 meters in front of the power line. After I had landed in front of the trees with inches to spare, I decided to get rid of my extremely ground hungry Maverick.

    Jump 3
    When I hit some heavy turbulence at 30ft, my canopy collapsed and dove at high speed in between two big trees in a garden. Flaring didn't seem to reduce the impact speed but my canopy got caught in one of the trees, so I got a soft landing.


    Of course I carry a cell phone when I am jumping.

  5. Unless someone is really unsafe, I think we should always encourage them to continue jumping. They will quit sooner or later anyway if they REALLY where not meant to be skydiving. If they don't quit, they will probably thank you for pushing them after they have gotten over their fears.

  6. IMHO anything that happends after you walk away or is able to walk away from a landing is not a skydiving incident.

    Find someone else real quick as a "pivot" even if you don't really like them to make her jealous and want you back. This strategy also works to get dates in general.

    Why would anyone create an intentional two out situation?
