    If they want to be truly responsible for regulating instructors, then the USPA should get the FAA to grant them real authority, like the Ozzies have with the APF. The ability to shut down a DZ if they are willfully breaking the regs. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Not if you're landing next to the beach and the winds are off the ocean. Clean wind in my experience. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    I read the same thing a few years back, but then it was Kevin Rudd who said it....before that, it was John Howard. Lame “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Haven't heard that in a while!!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    One of my favorite sayings..."If 'ifs' and 'butts' were candy and nuts...it'd be christmas everyday!!! They would still be sued, even if they didn't give the rating. The DZ was using Strongs equipment, and has money(Or at least did). Even though the video clearly showed all the straps loose to the stops(100% TI responsibility), they went after Strong. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Perhaps you should not let wealth envy blind you...re-read his post... “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    People who sue don't only go for the guilty party, they go for everybody. It's called a blanket lawsuit. Probably in the hopes that the one with deep pockets will settle, since that could be cheaper than actually defending themselves. Ask Ted Strong about that. They did nothing wrong but still had to defend themselves in court, at great cost. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3541273;search_string=strong%20lawsuit;#3541273 “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    They have the deepest pockets(most likely) “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Why, you want to tax his dribble? Do you have dribble-envy too? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Here's some christmas cheer, TSA style!!! http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/81236311/ “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    In related news, scientists have discovered that water is indeed, wet. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Horrid video, both handcam and outside vid.... “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  13. tonyhays
    We have a winner!!!!! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Interesting article on MSNBC about a potential bubble burst... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40514947/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/ “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    I believe it's "federal pound me in the ass prison"... “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  16. tonyhays
    Agreed 100%! “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  17. tonyhays
    I've heard it called a "blanket lawsuit". Sue everyone even remotely involved, hope for a settlement. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Yep, open seven days a week. During the week we fly from 2-10 loads a day, 25+ on Sat/Sun. Once July & August are here the weekdays are busier. Wednesdays are usually busiest with fun jumpers, but any day we are flying there should be no problem finding someone to jump with. http://www.skydivenewengland.com “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Didn't hear that one in the news, got a link? “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  20. tonyhays
    You could argue statistics....with the older style harness, zero people have fallen out of them. With the new style, aka back-straps, two people have fallen out. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  21. tonyhays
    They've been trying that for years...and failing. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Have them set up for a single toggle setting. Less hassle, just as easy to fly around... Have jumped them with both the excess stowed around a rubber band around the 'd' lines, as well as with no brake settings. Seems to me you get slower openings with nothing done with the brake settings....imo “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

    Not in foreign countries. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  25. tonyhays
    +1 Personally I think the number of jumps you need to have before you can be a TI should be 1000. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
