  1. “she was studying philosophy”, and “95,000 tic toc follower’s”. So we can conclude that Mr. Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection is again proven.

    1. And saved her from a life of prostitution trying to support herself after graduation.

  5. At 76 years old, I have never understood the fascination of rock climbing or parachuting. But I'm not a philosophy major.

  6. Hi Kenny,
    The post says she released this spinning main chute too low for the reserve to inflate.... or something to that effect?? HMMMM??? I can only wonder why her "AAD"..."Automatic Activation Device" did not fire off her reserve at the pre prescribed altitude??? 99.999997 % of new jumpers and a lot of older jumpers have them.....Most jumpers today refuse to jump with out one!!!! The pre-scribed opening altitude for one's main chute is at or above 2,500' above the DZ!! and most AAD;s are set to fire off at about 800 to 1,000'agl....
    Well now I have to go over to www.dropzone.com and go into the forums and wait for this "Fatality" to come up in the "Incidents Reports!!!!!" Trust me it will.... it will be di-selected more than a dead rat or a biology frog in Bio 101!!!!
    BTW... when ya' get thru reading the incident reports.... drop on down to the "History and Trivia Forum" and scroll down till you find a post.... "Scary Stories from the old days" by "Steve1" ... I posted a few goood ones about page 10!! the thread is over 60 pages long now!!! Make sure you have enough Beer and or Whiskey handy because you will read for a while and!!!!!..... "DON'T Have your Beer/Whiskey glass near yer' puter' as you can knock it over and yer' puter' will "GO IN!!!!" "Skydiving term for attacking the ground at 120MPH!!!!"
    Well, I'll leave you at that.... Yup, I'm a "Skydiver"... an... "O-L-D" Skydiver!!!! I started jumping when those "AAD'S" were few and far between as well as "Un reliable!!" till somewhere in the mid 80's or so???? NOW !! all these newbies jump with them and think they are "BOUNCE PROOF!!!!!!!!!"
    As my OLD Skydivin' friend Mike Owens coined the sayin' to ALL..."You are not now, nor will you ever be ..."GOOD ENOUGH!!!!".... to not DIE in this Sport!!!!!!!' ....
    They forget..... "The SKY is not the Limit!!!!!.... THE GROUND IS!!!!!!!"

    PS my first Jump 08MAY1964...... went on to some 50 + years now 3853 jumps logged and although my arthur-Ridas sucks i can still step out and fire off a chute...
    BTW out of those 3,000+ jumps only a hand full were with an AAD on the reserve ... on "BORROWED" gear... never had one, don't need one, I know where the ground is!!!!!
