ENOUGH!

Everywhere…that stupid video from Lodi of the old lady coming out of her harness.

The ONLY person that has actually did any sort of real reporting on it was the Today show because they interviewed the woman.

It makes me nuts to hear people talk about skydiving that have NO CLUE and they act like they know the whole situation that lead to the woman coming loose.
the ONE thing that is driving me nuts is this;  It’s a DROGUE! it wasn’t the ‘mini parachute’ or even better, ‘the ‘chute’.
One reporter stated while watching the video, “And you can see right here that the ‘Chuter (i’m guessing he meant, the TANDEM INSTRUCTOR) knew something was amiss and he decided to pull the mini parachute”
That isn’t a ‘mini parachute’. it’s a drogue.

I could go on and on about the stupid, stupid, STUPID reporting, but i’m not going to.  It just makes me look at all the other reporting on shit that I don’t do and wouldn’t know if all of what they are saying is total bullshit.

No, watching the video wouldn’t get me to not skydive again, nor would it get me to convince people to not skydive.

I mean come on…we have MINI PARACHUTES that will save our lives. *rolling eyes*
