Rstanley0312 1 #101 October 10, 2011 Quote Quote apparently he did.I heard it was a "too low initiation of a 3 figure turn" I wish he heals well, and that he learns from it. Now for a little humoristic note : he would have been safer on the Katana, starting from higher right. and until it's not confirmed, let's keep speculation out of this thread, regarding his injuries, which were "only" a femur, some vertebrae, a punctured lung AND a concussion.. he seems to be alright. let's wish him a speedy recovery and let's hope for HIS account for details.. You have got to be shitting me? That was quick..... who thinks he will listen from now on? I say it is still a 50/50 shot. I hope he heals quickly and learns from this.Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

yoink 321 #104 October 10, 2011 Quote Quote i've posted something this morning that i later on deleted; it was about a jumper in this thread with 200ish jumps that got himself a 97 katana two days ago. not only me, but a few others, some very experienced jumpers, unlike me, expressed our concerns about his choice. apparently, this post got noticed by someone at his dz (or it was something else maybe!?). this guy delivered a message to said jumper that if that were true he purchased a katana 97, he would not be jumping at his home-DZ with it. i kinda feel bad about it, i personally DO NOT like ratting out on people, but having watched a lot of videos from said jumper, it was clear he would not be able to handle the katana, not only by his skills, but also with his attitude. Thank you for being a rat. You may have saved the guy's life. I'd call that a save - he owes you a bottle. He'd be dead if he was under the Katana. Remi - no bet. That's a dead cert.

Unfortunately, been seen before. Nothing "new" here. See: The Story of Dudi ...and: HIS OWN WORDS TOO They ALL think they are above it all somehow, or have "mad-skillz" that no one else before them has ever had, or appreciates, or has the capabilities to recognize.

Very rarely do so many warnings, advice, over pages and pages of transcripts completely get ignored to the extent of the skygod in training, actually really fucking themselves... Maybe we could cut this thread down a bit and make it a sticky... Well done sangi, you've done yourself proud....

yoink 321 #109 October 12, 2011 Just so we're clear, Sangi needs his own Incidents thread - just as people have been saying would would happen for about a year. Who won the bounce bingo? Lest some of you think I'm heartless, I'm pretty certain that Sangi won't learn from this - maybe some other upcoming Skygod will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the reality check kids~ like when ya bend up the frame on a car...there's ALWAYS long term effects to something like this. He'll never be the same and will live the rest of his life out, less than he could have been had this not happened. But at least he will live. You HAVE to think long term effects regarding the things you do every day, you have to play it smart to get through this rodeo...when lots of people around you tell you you're NOT playin' it smart, ditch the ego and consider what they're saying. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think of it as a problem, rather as a way it is. Most of people with similar mindset will survive their errors. Out of survivors, we will admire the most successful ones, declare the champion and give them a medal. This thread only encourage wannabe "experts in swooping progression" I disagree...I think the thread on some level is a warning to the smarter, newer jumpers who probably don't yet make the full correlation between how important it just might be to listen and weigh advice opposed listen to the ego and hope. Your saying 'most' will survive while true doesn't look at the big picture...if ALL don't survive it's a tragic thing that should be addressed, the numbers are climbing on both death and injury. Talking about it like this just may encourage a few people to do something different...slow down their 'progression' and let the learning curve keep up, or maybe say something to somebody you see walking the edge. If open harsh discussion has even a small effect changing 'everyone's' mindset regarding these stupid and preventable accidents we are ALL the better for it. Most people when they think about it, really don't wanna be the punchline of a Thinning The Herd joke. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
