Poor things they all must have crossed ill-fated paths with you somewhere along the line, to end up like that!

I wonder if this was something that a gear check could've prevented. I mean, I doubt we'll hear any real details about the type of sabotage that was done to the rig, but it makes me wonder..

read the incident's forum. There are lots of possibilities to do loads of sh*t to a rig that you wouldn't notice unless you unpack totally your main and reserve before jumping.

What comes to be the most disturbing thing about the story is it alledges the skydiver charged has a history of violence and a personality disorder.

No one with issues like that should be skydiving and no one should let someone else skydive that they know about having issues like that!

(When everyone is out to get you is it still paranoia?)

The real question is do you tip before or after you jump with their pack job?

There is usually no way to know if someone has such issues. People can appear perfectly normal, and be all screwed-up inside.

And I don't think we want to insist upon approval by a psychiatrist prior to being allowed to take a 1st jump course.

Hmm.. well I guess Obsesive Compulsives might be BETTER at packing.
The thought is more along the lines of violence, suicidal tendencies... would you want that person jumping with someone you love?

Obsesive Compulsives

My mum walks around picking up any mess in the house, if its a piece of paper she folds THE SHIT out of it and i always sit there thinking "hmmm, if i just leave my rig on the floor....."

People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

Sandy Reid (Rigging Innovations) was just interviewed on CNN about the possibility of sabotaging a rig after it is packed.

Surely that is a event!

I feel sorry for the dead womans husband and children. It is enough to loose a loved one but to find out that they were having an affair for a couple of years is twisting the knife for the husband.. now the poor kids have to live without her mother

Actually, the Today show this morning reported that they had pressed charges and wouldn't release any more information until after the trial.

At first it was speculation, then they found a motive.

As far as I know, they have no real (physical) proof against her.
She only fits the profile of a possible suspect, and that is it they have.

I've known several people who have committed suicide. It was a complete and total shock and surprise each time. You can't tell from outward appearances and behavior, what someone is thinking inside.

As for violence, I wouldn't want to hang around with such a person. Someone could beat their wife and their dog, but you would never know it, and they could be perfectly gracious at the DZ. But even so, it doesn't mean that they would be dangerous while skydiving.

Yeah, but isn't there something inherently wrong with eating Jack in the Box food anyway? Everyone knows you should stick to the four basic food groups:

* Beer
* Pizza
* Any food that comes in a can
* DZ food.

Jack in the Box doesn't sell any of that stuff!
