Andy_Copland 0 #2 August 2, 2008 Waahhhhhhh Who cares, i lean back on others and expect to get the same treatment. Personally if i try to sit up in a plane for that long i'll want to do a hop n pop before i go into cramps. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Common courtesy is something you leave at the ground. Skydivers lean on each other AND fart at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gotta go with the others on here. Planes are crowded, people lean. Lighten up. make friends with the others on the plane "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shermanator 4 #10 August 2, 2008 my response depends, are we talking about straddle benches, or something like what is in an otter? an otter, mainly use the person next to you as an arm rest. Not only is it more comfortable, it allows for that little extra breathing room.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzthieve 0 #11 August 2, 2008 Being allowed to lean onto each other in a crowded plane is considered common courtesy where I jump. This is the only way to make each other comfortable on the crowded ride up. If you realy bothered by it say it to the person who's leaning onto you and don't be a pansy by complaining about it on the internet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyimpaired 0 #12 August 2, 2008 If you need first class service, buy two jump tickets and don't let anyone sit next to you. Fair enough.

Chubba 0 #14 August 2, 2008 We all lean back in the Cessna 182... if you don't (especially with student rigs) your body is destroyed from cramps by the time you hit altitude. Everybody leans back and everyone is comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christelsabine 1 #17 August 2, 2008 What? You surely are talking about sitting on the blank sheet floor, telescoped together ... leaning back is the best you can do. The man in front is doing it, I do it, the one behind me does it - no problem at all! Just a relaxed crowd of folks having a little nap I really love to fall asleep for few minutes. No problem at all. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VideoFly 0 #21 August 3, 2008 Everyone leaning back is a safe way to take off and travel. It helps take the stress off of your body on a steep climb and helps keep the CG forward of the wing. So for safety reasons, it’s a good thing. For social reasons, it keeps us close together, knowing that we are a team whose members rely upon each other. If you are in front of me on a crowded plane, your rig will often help to support my camera helmet. I appreciate that assistance. Tight seating and leaning on one another on the plane is part of skydiving…nuff said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoobrothertom 5 #22 August 3, 2008 You've obviously been jumping with too many big hairy guys. Try getting sandwiched between a couple of the ladies. You'll start singing a different tune.

quade 4 #23 August 3, 2008 One of the things I think a lot of new jumpers have to get used to is not being such a pussy about personal space on the ride to altitude.

Squeak 17 #25 August 3, 2008 If you are talking about a poor stack-up in the plane i agree. Some stack-ups i have been in were atrocious (our plane is a floor sitter no benches). If you are talking about rude fuckers who think they own the plane and take up more room than necessary I also agree here. But If you are just whining about the cramped conditions well then SIUCC.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?
