    collisions are one of my greatest fears of skydiving.thats why we were taught at my dz that tracking is one of the best tools we have for safety.track track track to clean air then look wave off and pull.i jump at a cessna dz and we usually have only 4 jumpers in the air at one time and we did have a collision once and both people are ok.it can and does happen.im a light jumper flying a 175 so im always the last to land.the lower canopy has the right of way.***if you are going to be stupid you better be tough

    I have a new mirage g 3 and i got the hip rings and b12s.when i put my rig on i fasten the chest strap first then hook the b12s and that keeps me from missing it.i read about a lady that fell out of her rig sometime back and it scared me to think that might happen to me! i check and double check my gear on the ride up! we can ask someone else to check our gear but its our responsibility to take care of ourselves.***if you are going to be stupid you better be tough

    Ive had some pressure from my immediate family about jumping but they know the personality that i have and that im going to do what makes me happy.My wife went through the first jump class did her jump and said that she didnt want to continue to jump she understood why i jumped and she wouldnt say anything more to me about it.now she tells me to go take a flying leap and says "honey thats a good thing" i was stressed out last week and my loving mother at 70 years of age asked me when was the last time you jumped? I said saturday she then said ok well if you are jumping you are ok. now how cool is that? oh by the way my lovely little bride of 9 years just bought me a new mirage g3 with a new reserve and new cypress.have i got it made or what? ***if you are going to be stupid you better be tough
