JJohnson 0 #1 September 16, 2004 One of our Tandem Instructors is a cop for a local village. They use the newest type of Tazer, which is supposed to operate on the same wavelength as the brain. He brought in some video footage of the cops going through thier training, where they have to "ride the lightning". After watching it, a few of us mouthed off that he should bring it in to the DZ and we could play with it.......fucker did bring it in. Who would have thought he would take us seriously. Me and another TI took solo rides on it. The Guy hooked alligator clips on us. One up at the shoulder, the other down by the waist going across the torso. He only hit us for maybe 3 seconds....the longest three seconds you'll ever go through. You can think perfectly clearly, the whole while every muscle you own is tensing up and contracting. The only thought going through your head is: GOD DAMN THIS SUCKS!!!! We also got three suckers to sit down and link arms. The two end guys had the clips on them....dropped all three like a bad habit. Oh yeah, quality entertainment at the DZ. What are the three most dangerous things in skydiving: Boredom, Alcohol and skydivers. Hell I don't even drink so I got no excuse. All I know is that if I ain't having no arguements with a cop armed with a Tazer. We got all this on video, so I'll see if I can get a copy. One of you genuises will have to walk me through posting it though.JJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been several discussions on this all ready but I will say it again. The taser will make you a believer in doing what your told to do by the person on the other end"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craichead 0 #9 September 16, 2004 Nah, watching stupid and/or drunk skydivers getting tased is better. I'm positive it's going to end up on the CSC end-of-the-year video. _Pm__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #10 September 16, 2004 Disapointing I don't have video. I was too busy laughing my ass off at Jeff to run get the camera... The funniest was the 3 guys going down at exactly the same time. They were sitting on the floor cross legged, arms linked. Two clicks out of the taser and they all fall backwards in unison. The Chicago philharmonic couldn't have such good timing... _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
