Hey, in the post 'Random Observation', check out post #1 and then post #146...see any similarities??? I copied and pasted them because I imagion you are not as bored as I am at work.
Post 1 I was driving to the DZ and took note of something that comes up here in the way of example. Florida has recently rescinded it's mandatory helmet law for motorcycles. I presumed when it did so that there would be a smattering of folks chose to, mostly on back roads and the like. I was taking I-4 to the DZ and on both trips passed significant numbers of riders sans helmets. My quick count came up with 'bout 40% of the riders without head gear of any sort. If you don't count the 'skull cap' type of head gear, it was over 50%. Now, admittedly, we had the Biketoberfest in Daytona, but even then I was amazingly surprised. Here we argue for years about a 0.01% increase in safety due to AAD's and these folks are effectively 'jumping without a reserve'. And they call us crazy. Which is why when folks ask me if skydiving is 'safe' I'm frequently tempted to answer 'compared to what?'.
Post 146 If Gore is elected president, skydiving might face so much government regulation and legal liabilities, in addition to the destruction of the general aviation community, that the only places we'll be able to skydive will be in wind tunnels.
Too Funny, Jeremy Neas
