DiverMike 5 #28 January 8, 2010 Did you notice the report you are quoting in response to the post above you was written by the poster above you? For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's your point? Perhaps some people are interested in seeing the additional details in the USPA blog post."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

rynodigsmusic 0 #31 January 8, 2010 Quote It seems making any statement on this site will offend someone in one way or another. yup. Thats what I see alot of as well. That, and alot of reading through shit just to get the substance. Its one of the bummers about Dz.com, but you know you love it."We didn't start the fire" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total US fatalities include non-civilian deaths too, and there were quite a few of those in 2009.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I think if we are going to include military static line numbers we should include BASE numbers as well. Neither are all that similar to the skydives I do. Just my opinion mind you."... this ain't a Nerf world."

Be safe in 2010.
