  2. "stick 'em"!!! Come on over big boy... I poke ya Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  3. There are normally multiple people on a load and most DZ's (I think) check to ensure all made it back ok. If that's the norm, then I would land safely near the injured jumper. When they notice, and they should, then help would be on the way. There are many variables of course but generally, I would land near the jumper. I have Civilian CPR and military Combat Life Saver training, it might not be much, but the aid that I am able to give that person with in the first few minutes might be the most crucial.

  4. So if someone dosent have protective equipment they shouldn't help? I think it is usually human nature to want to help others, especially those in need. I would rather everyone have or have easy access to protective equipment. At the very least, I think most people know how to or have an idea of how to do CPR. I would rather someone try to save someone, while not risking their life, than to sit idley by and do nothing. At the least find a way to call 911...

  5. (serious question) Can you explain why you are not afraid? What do you know as a Bloodborne Pathogen Instructor, First Aid/CPR instructor, and EMT that allows you to be so at ease? (/serious question) Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  6. So are you saying that all responsible skydivers should jump and or carry the proper precautionary equipment? added: I found the following website with a CPR Microshield They have a package that has a small case, number of gloves and a microshield for 11 bucks. I am ordering one for my first aid kit for in my car http://www.armstrongmedical.com/index.cfm/go/product.detail/sec/4/ssec/25/fam/58 Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  7. I didnt say anything about Sexual Health. But what about something like HIV? It can be passed ways other than sexual intercourse. EDIT TO ADD: IRT: Possible Life Threatening Diseases Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  8. Would you as a skydiver want to know if the people you were jumping with had a disease, virus, etc that could be passed to you? I am talking about situtations where someone gets hurt and there is blood, or you have to do CPR and mouth to mouth. Some of these situtations could put you in a position to where you could catch what ever it is they have. Notwithstanding, we know you can wear medical gloves or a mouth piece for example to try to protect from certain things, but nothing is certain. So would you want to know?

  9. I would so like to get a mount for my camera to put on my motorcycle mounted on the rear foot peg pointed forward or backward... Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

  12. Agreeed... Just say no to SKYRIDE Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  13. Just when you think you are doing pretty good for an above average rider... the dragon will tame you quickly... My first run I took some of the curves at 15mph... By the 3rd day I was hitting most at 30mph or higher, nothing like the pro's though... BTW... 30 or 35 is the speed limit on that road, though some riders go faster.

  14. Had a most excelent trip on my moto'cycle: Took a couple nice pics http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa127/leroydb/deals%20gap/?albumview=grid Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  15. i had them and gave them up... i had a ticket and it fell off (3 years) during the middle of my policy and they wouldn't lower it. I switched to Geico... saved 15% really and called htem and canceled. They tried to talk me back into it, but they should have done it earlier...

  19. how would you have replied to my post if I didnt put this in: "not bad for a tracking dive? " Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  20. I was not necessarily saying it was special. I was actually +/- 2 miles away from the DZ upon exit and tracked with the plane for 15 sec... So the "focus" was more on speed... ie: getting my ass back to the DZ.
  21. then" 10000 ft / 82 sec = 121.95ft per sec = 83mph not bad for a tracking dive? Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  22. What about avg freefall speed Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  23. how are the wings connected to the suit through the rig? are they zippered? Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
  24. Is there a way to get a general raw idea about glide rate based off of exit alititude, pull altitude, and freefall time? Example: exit alititude 12000 pull altitude 2100 freefall time 1:22 (82 sec) (using phoenix fly track suit) Le Roy Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
