popsjumper 2 #2 December 27, 2008 There are none. Too many variables to assign reliable numbers to it.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billeisele 130 #3 December 27, 2008 jumping is supposed to be fun if you are not ready and have not been trained you will scare yourself and those watching and have a high chance of getting brokenGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLIDEANGLE 1 #4 December 27, 2008 As said above, no hard stats, as there are too many variables. Suggest some reading on this topic: Buy and read The Parachute and its Pilot by Brian Germain http://www.bigairsportz.com/publishing.php#parachute Download and read Downsizing Checklist http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=47 Download and read this secton of the USPA SIM [URL]http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section6/tabid/169/Default.aspx#1072[/URL] The Downsizing Checklist is quite interesting, as it does not talk about jump numbers as qualifications for downsizing, but talks about DEMONSTRATED ABILITY. This moves beyond opinion and argument... into the realm of "put up or shut up". Fly safely.The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!
