    It seems no one posts pictures of all these new projects anymore. I remember back in the day people would setup blogs with pictures of the progress. Would be nice to know how far alone some of them really are.

    "What money can't buy." It can buy you a lot of experience for freeflying in the tunnel, but at the expense of the old school camp fire learning after everyone jumped together during the day.

    Or break up the passes so fun jumpers have 2-3 passes for a bigger plane. Less people in the air means less opportunity for a collision. I think freefliers out last contributed to it because everyone opens at about the same time leading to more congestion.

    Those were issues before 2005 as well.

    You got it mostly right. The y/n column is aad/rsl. I believe the skydiving fatalities site has a legend. CCOL is canopy collision and in EXP means exceptional which I used to think meant unusual. MAL would be malfunction and LOWT low turn. I also only included US incidents.

    Using the data from http://skydivingfatalities.info and here and it appears after 2004 the percentage of fatalities due to collisions went up dramatically. I believe this happened for a specific reason but would like other's opinion. Adding the source files that image is based.

    Do they sponsor you for visa? Do you have any contact info for the flystation people?

    I have a lay over in Moscow over the summer, so figured I could look into getting a visa and flying in the tunnel in lieu of waiting. Anyone have any info on where to start looking? Cheers

    Yeah, not quite right. I'll repeat this to stay on topic: All of the news is garbage: Fox, Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-rolf-dobelli

    Where is the information about two story tunnels? What does that mean?

    Heard a rumor one may be on the horizon. Any press releases or details?

    Pandering is pandering.

    Yeah, 7 minutes in Utah is like 7 hours other places.

    That's just the line of reasoning political marketing guys get independents to swing democrat or republican.

    I had a single bad shoulder injury and one previous dislocation before that. I got a bankart repair done and I'm mostly as good as new. If you have repeated dislocations it may be an option. http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/A-Ce/Bankart-Procedure.html

    Hi All, I just made a Google Chrome extension that adds fields relative to wingsuiting/tracking to Strava's analysis. Calling it StravaJump. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stravajump/bcblopmfendjekefgjddjdchejpjjnkd

    I remember in 1998 there were like 4 fatalities at WFFC. The level of stupidity that goes on at the Perrine is equally mind blowing. Cherry picking one boogie there isn't fair. I've been at least 10 times and never seen a fatal, only minor injuries. Have seem the same level of idiocy you see at WFFC. BASE is way too diverse now to compare it whole sale to skydiving. Wingsuit BASE in Europe is nothing like slider down jumping which is nothing like slider up from moderate altitudes.

    Maybe you can just go no knock warrant every house in your neighborhood. You're likely to find at least one with cocaine or hookers. I mean if they aren't doing anything wrong they shouldn't mind you busting in the door, right?

    My friends were there at the game mentioned in Cary, and I'd been to that game before. Anecdotal yes, but I just can't imagine any world where raiding a home poker game with a SWAT team is a good idea.

A home poker game I went to in college was raided with a swat team and helicopters. Another game was robbed in the past so some of the people that were playing were on edge and carrying guns. Can you imagine what would have happened if they fired on the people busting down the door?
