parachute or drop

I wonder – if having learned how to parachute jump and if having learned how to wrap your parachute –

would you then be more willing to assume responsibility for your own life – or death – at this point and wrap your own parachute…

or if you could, would you be more willing to have the expert assume responsibility for the wrapping of your parachute, and thus for your life and death – if only for a little while – or for each time?

I’d learn how to wrap it myself and have an expert there while I do it.

I know I’m rather clumsy. Bad with my hands and all that. So I’d much rather have an expert do it for me.

Learn well and do it myself. I mean, shit, it’s not rocket science.

real - you already learned how to wrap it yourself and the expert was there each time you were learning.

But you still didn’t answer my hypothetical question – though it is a moot point, once you learn you wrap it yourself at a jump, but…

Which would you choose if you could? :-" :-"

There’s always only one person responsible for my own life. Guess who that is.

There you go. =D> =D> :sci-fi-beamup:

So if a guy mugs me on the street now with a gun, and for purely entertainment purposes (for him) shoots me dead, then who is responsible?

I am responsible for my own death, so how can the mugger be convicted of any crime?

Parachute riggers are required to jump chutes they’ve packed to insure packaging is done to a safe standard.

If the chute fails and your body parts wind up all over the countryside that is your fault.
But ultimately anything that happens to you is your fault.

If a business partner cheats you that is your fault.
If a plane crash lands into you house and kills you while you are sleeping that is your fault.
Food poisoning from a restuarant.
Tsunamis or hurricanes kill you that is your fault.
You never become a famous rock star.

We were not talking about that kind of a scenario, silly guy, :chores-chopwood: but if I were you, I would not venture into any bars, drink and expound on your kind of philosophy :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: , lest someone follow you out and… :violence-axechase: there goes Real… :auto-ambulance:
