6 Secrets to Successful Schmoozing

Experience: I fell 6,000 feet and survived

I’m confused by this guy’s stupidity… and also his rig… As someone who’s completed a few static-line jumps and sat through dozens of instructional courses for the simple reason that my dad used to teach them on days when he had custody of us… and having witnessed my dad, a class-D jumpmaster, jump hundreds of times, I think it’s safe to say that I possess a greater knowledge of skydiving procedures than the average person, yet I have NEVER heard of a rig, even pro-rated, that did not have a built in mechanism to automatically deploy the emergency reserve if the primary chute was not manually opened before the jumper decreased to an altitude of 1,000 feet… There is no mention of a chute malfunction in this article, only human error… In that case, am I correct to assume he intentionally altered his chute to instigate the malfunction of the automatic reserve deployment… and if so, that kind of audacity is beyond moronic!

Cozy-crazy couple makes tight all right in the city's tiniest studio

I cannot believe anyone would pay so much for so little… Pretty sure my parents’ 5-bedroom house on a 2-acre wooded lot with a garage and basement cost something around that… I sure hope neither of them develops claustrophobia…
