wmw999 2,439 #2 November 8, 2005 So -- brick or cinder block or wood? It used to be that a hallway long enough to pack reserves was a selling point for skydivers; now I'd imagine it'd be a room big enough to pack them, but that's easier. And congratulations! Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
