DanDanInc 5 #27 April 30, 2013 It was legit. I really wanted to know what people thought about this subject and keep seeing posts by people regarding something that has already been posted and if they did a simple search they could find the answers they are looking for. Just trying to do the right thing here. Damned if you do and damned if you don't I guess.

DanDanInc 5 #29 April 30, 2013 I figured that's what happened. I may be new to the sport but I'm a forum pro as have built my own in the past. I think this is one of the few forums that I visit that is still wicked active. Kind of cool since facebook came around I honestly figured most forums would die out. *Raises his mug of delicious Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA to the skydiving community and all of their hilarity!

rwieder 0 #31 April 30, 2013 My wife makes me wear mine! I took it off the other day b/c I was going to mow the lawn, she threw a fit. Don't really know why?

DanDanInc 5 #32 April 30, 2013 I've definitely seen an attractive person or 2 mowing lawns in the past. The layer of grass, glistening sweat, and disgruntled look on their face was the kicker. Good thing they had that ring on otherwise I might have been onto my 3rd wife. hahahahaSincerely, Daniel (not as fat as he thinks he is) Adams http://www.skyjump.com http://www.vimeo.com/dandaninc http://www.youtube.com/dandaninc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 60 #34 April 30, 2013 I always wore mine (and various other rings, both finger and ear), and never gave it a thought. I never had a problem, but looking back, I think I was just lucky. I did a lot of floating, and now I wonder why I didn't lose a finger or worse. Nowadays, I take my rings off whenever doing anything I think might hurt them or put my fingers at risk; everyday mundane things like climbing a ladder, using tools, or carrying heavy things. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phreeloader 0 #35 April 30, 2013 i've got 2... I misplaced the first one a year or so after getting married so i bought another after a while...I've since found the 1st one.. but truth be told i never wear either. My wife trusts me so it's never been a problem.. I've thought about getting one tattooed on.. but haven't seen one on anyone else that i liked, if you see a good one let me know :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rifleman 70 #36 April 30, 2013 Couldn't take mine off even if I wanted to - it was a tight fit when I got married and over the last fifteen years it's kind of worn in and I can't now get it over my knuckle. When I'm at the DZ I wrap a 1" wide piece of sticking plaster round my finger over the ring to reduce the risk of snagging.Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #37 April 30, 2013 I've got an awesome wife that lets me keep my ring in a box on top of the dresser. Everyone knows I'm married. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonstark 8 #38 May 1, 2013 Mine stays on my key ring. Just about lost a finger years ago with a different ring. Have never really worn my wedding band for much more than for a few minutes once in a while. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #39 May 1, 2013 I don't have a wedding ring, but I do have a $10 "I'm taken, don't bother me" ring that I bought for myself and wear on my ring finger.

BillyVance 34 #41 May 1, 2013 I fully agree! Had my wedding ring get hung on the L bar of a jump plane sans glove, but luckily I was able to reposition my other hand to relieve the pressure. All I got was a blood blister. Since then, haven't worn the ring on jumps.

oldwomanc6 60 #43 May 1, 2013 The chance of that happening, if you're not actively doing something risky, is practically nil. I would hope you take that ring out of the box when you take V out to dinner. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #44 May 1, 2013 Well, hanging onto to airplanes and jumping off, working in the garage with power tools, under the hood of cars, etc. I should wear it to dinner but I don't. They always think she's my daughter anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
