Made it back safe and sound despite folks clogging up the river and
gas docks by not knowing how to maneuver their boats......reminded me
of a member here and his difficulties handling his new 18 foot boat..
Heading out tomorrow for Kelleys Island as things will return to
normal tomorrow.
PS: I see the Team Wrecked.Boats spent the afternoon here talking
about Chucks place and whining. Too funny.
Not me, I spent the day at the track watching the mouse, and being
just as respectful to the new riders, as they were to us when we were
new.. Not bitching and thinking I was better than them and they should
get our of my way, like some assholes here....
Well, I'm glad your kid didn't get seriously injured. Motorcycle racing
is very much like parachuting: the more you do it, the more likely you
are going to have a serious accident.
Really? I've made 1700 jumps all non-military and the worst thing that
every happened to me was I broke my left thumb. Hell, I never had to
ride my reserve.
Try to get life insurance while telling them you sky dive for fun.
Man, you just can't help it can you?
"Full coverage as a skydiver means you will pay what is called a “flat
extra” charge, an additional amount per thousand dollars of coverage
per year. This will be an additional charge added to what your life
insurance would cost if you didn’t do “Dangerous things”. The majority
of companies charge a flat extra of $2.50 to $3.00 per thousand for
recreational sky divers. So, on $100,000 you would pay $250 to $300
extra per year to be covered. One company really tries to paint you
into a box with this breakout “If 50 or less jumps per year tentative
$3.00 per $1,000 flat extra. If 51-100 jumps per year tentative $5.00
per $1,000 flat extra. If 101-200 jumps per year tentative $7.50 per
$1,000. If over 200 jumps per year tentative $10.00 per $1,000 extra”.
Essentially the more exposure the higher the cost."

Bingo! Give that man a prize. I paid $3 per $1000 of insured value with
about 250 to 300 jumps per year. Get a whole life policy and you can do
just about anything involving risk and they will cover you for the rest
of your life. One of the things that made it easy for me to go through
underwriting was that I was a skydiving instructor and that I taught 2
to 3 first jump courses a month. This kept me proficient in emergency
procedures in their eyes.
Well, my 62nd is coming up in a couple of weeks and as we talked about
when we had lunch - I'm going to finish off with 150. I had
originally planned to do this back when I was still working as I had
planned on retiring at 62.
These will be my last and I had to buy a rider for my insurance for
the three jumps to make it there - 148/149 with the instructor and 150
on my own.
And that's is - no more. :)
