AggieDave 6 #9 July 20, 2004 She's in a full body cast in the next episode and alive, since people survive a totel double mal all the time... The USPA actually threated legal action against the producers of the show, they then released a statement that it was in no way true and that skydiving as a sport strives for safety. The damage in the minds of the whuffo public had been done, though.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Douva 0 #14 July 20, 2004 Dammit, I watched that show forever and never saw that episode. I saw one of the follow-up episodes where she was in a full body cast, but I never saw the actual skydiving episode. I had seen all the other episodes so often that I actually decided they must have decided not to air the skydiving episode in syndication for some reason. Now I guess I've missed it again. --DouvaI don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #15 July 20, 2004 ummm....it's a cartoon. And if you were referring to skydiving with this. "sports that are safe as long as the people who do them are safe ", you might want to rethink that. Many people who are safe and do everything right get hurt or worse.

RevJim 0 #16 July 20, 2004 Exactly, Kev. I've been saying all along, this sport isn't safe. Never has been. Never will be. Nothing will change that. We have 2 possible outcomes on every jump. We live, or we don't. The rest is just details. We can mitigate some of the risk, but the sport will never be "safe", and should never be considered as such. It's your life, live it!

JohnMitchell 16 #18 July 20, 2004 Quote The damage in the minds of the whuffo public had been done, though. I disagree. The whole world thinks skydiving is crazy and dangerous. All the good stories in the world won't change their minds, and all the bad press in the world won't keep away the people who want to do it. Anyone who lets cartoons decide the course of their life probably shouldn't jump out of airplanes. My couple of cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
