It seems I just may be the tee are oh elle elle here after all! I say this because of the number of PM responses my post has gotten. Veter, do you understand why people think you are unsafe at the moment? I am a stranger to you. And I invite you now to discuss with me. -When a landing pattern is agreed upon, it must be followed. I understand that you have been known to cut across it. This generates confusion and a degree of panic to others while they are trying to land. You mention Brian Germains canopy course and how much you enjoyed it... what would Brian say about your landing pattern? -I have seen your posts about kiting your canopy. I enjoy doing that too. Quite a bit actually. But I make sure not to do it in the landing area, generating confusion and a degree of panic to others while they are trying to land. If you want to kite your canopy, do it at home, or just take it off the landing area. What do you think? -Upon boarding an aircraft, there is always a great deal of discussion among the different groups. "What are you doing on this dive?" "Where are you pulling?" etc. etc.... though I can imagine you are probably not being asked in the most polite fashion these days, I understand you do not disclose what your intentions are when asked. You cannot withhold this information. In order to be as safe as possible, people need to know what is going on. Is there a reason you think you should not be forthcoming and cooperative when asked what you are up to? -Upon exiting the aircraft, it is necessary to understand the line of flight. I understand you have, more than once now, been found flying up or down the line of flight, into the airspace belonging to another group or skydiver. You don’t want to be minding your own business, diving your own dive and then find someone directly above you when you want to pull right? You probably want someone colliding with you out of nowhere even less. Am I correct? Why do you think it's unreasonable to expect you to stay in your airspace? Veter, the above has been collected from PMs sent to me. They were sent because I asked that people stop responding to you. What I find most is that you are not disliked for the above… you are disliked for your lack of caring… your lack of desire to right what is wrong… or simply, your lack of acknowledgement that you even did something wrong in the first place. Your situation at the ranch may be too far gone now for you to speak rationally with others there. That is why I have asked you all these questions as a stranger from another country. I know this post is long-winded and I know it has nothing to do with your supposed sabotaged gear. I just wanted to post some honest questions about some honest safety concerns, as a stranger and a fresh perspective. Now there is no getting around it. Public forum = Public announcement of what the actual issues at play are. Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss, or we’ll have it right here in this thread… but please do respond one way or the other. And tell me what you think of the points I have typed here.

I urge you; check your pilot chutes after you land. If they've been collapsed, immediately suspect sabotage! Someone is probably after you just like they are after me!" Me: "Ya know what else? Someone CUT my closing loop! Not all the way through, and they do it a little at a time after each jump, but my closing loop was starting to get so bad I had to replace it. Why are people trying to kill me? Just last weekend someone took the batteries in my Neptune out and replaced them with dead ones!!! No shit, my audible was working fine, and then nothing!!!

Lets get back to the ways people are trying to kill us.... Just last weekend the pilot gave me a bad spot. He KNEW I was gonna pull lower than normal and he was wanting me to land off....We know how dangerous it is to land off right? The packer was in on it also since my canopy opened slow.

" airtwardo: "It seems every few jumps I pack my rig just fine and some SOB comes up after I am done, opens my main flaps, pulls out my bag and breaks a few! I find them broken when I am packing the next time....I think he is trying to kill me by causing a mal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THAT'S the guy!! Ron...I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I was just telling the FAA guy about 'broken rubbers' and the danger to skydivers... HE THREW ME OUT!! "The Horror...........The Horror" " Then the damn thread got serious again....I thought that was some funny shit. Anywho he seems to not be the kind of guy that listens. Lets get back to the ways people are trying to kill us.... Just last weekend the pilot gave me a bad spot. He KNEW I was gonna pull lower than normal and he was wanting me to land off....We know how dangerous it is to land off right? The packer was in on it also since my canopy opened slow. Whats a guy to do whan both the packer and the pilot is trying to kill you together?"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
