About 3 people have asked me: "... and what if you don't pull any of the handles?"

And what if that doesn't work?!?

The best response...

"Then I have about 5 seconds to learn how to fly!!!"

There are NO stupid questions, only STUPID answers.

That was the best advice I was given as a newbie to this sport.

Stupid questions are the questions that were not asked at all. Questions are good, it means that you learn something, and learning is good.Might just make you safer in the air and you learn really interesting stuff as well. Ask away!

The ones that ask"What if your parachute doesn't open",I just say it was your day to die.That is the answer they are looking for any(not ne,that is annoying as hell) way.

Does it really take that much longer to type "any" rather than "ne"? It's epidemic in your posts and makes it difficult for me to take them (or you) at all seriously.

I think this comes from people using the old style text phones that would not finish the words for you.

Oh there are some good ones though.

I've been asked if you pull too high do you go into space?

Do you bury your parachute?

An instructor asked my to a static line door exit on a 206 mock up. As I'm sitting on the edge of the door a girl asked, "what happens if you fall out?" That's kind of the point of the exercise love!

I'm not sure i this is what your looking for, but I'm drunk as hell and don't give a fuck.

The day before my second jump, some gal bounced at that DZ. It was on the news and everything. Several people couldn't believe I was still gonna jump the next day. I had to explain that before deciding to learn to jump, I had already evaluated, as well as I could, the risks, and knew well beforehand that people can die doing it. It didn't matter if someone went in the day before at that DZ, or 3 weeks before at a DZ 500 miles away.

LMAO! I did my first tandem at Perris, 13500. Had my SL instructor in Canada ask me if I got hypoxic at that hieght.

typical tandem question:

what happens if you open your mouth in freefall?

the pressure makes your eyes pop out, that is why we have goggles, after we open the parachute we pop them back in

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
