In reply to: The paraglider dudes I know ...
Flying hang-gliders in SoCal during the 80's was the same way. The sport is dangerous enough that you just sort of have to gather together and talk about safety. After a particularly great flight, safety issues have to be studied retrospectively. I have really fond memories of flying with the e-team at Elsinore.

That's exactly why we do it on whitewater...
Paddling is all about finese, and should appear as more of a waltz or even sublime ballet on the water. Over paddling will cause a whole lot more problems than under paddling. Having the ability to channel out everything around you, where you do nothing more than look down river and communicate with the water, is what it is all about. When you're at a point where you become one with the river, and she talks to you in poetic verse, you have achieved spiritual bliss.

So, what you're saying is it gets rid of your negative waves, man.

You should have heard Donald Sutherland's voice. That's what Oddball used to say.

If he did, then his accident analysis reports would all just say, "Wow, uncool stuff happened again, mannnnnnnn."
That would actually be refreshing.

Some did, I alway waited until after the day was done. There's something about having the "rest of your life" to open your reserve canopy that makes you want every fraction of a second of your reaction time.

I just went skiing for the first time in like 5 years on sunday... and we talked about safety on the way up to the lodge, and halfway down the 3rd run, and then again halfway down the 5th run.
Safety is very important, especially when it's you first time back!
And MAN, I forgot how hard skiing is... especially when you're safe!

I spent a season working as a Lift Op at a ski resort.... Lift Ops and Snow Makers take safety VERY FUCKING SERIOUSLY!
"Dude, hit the big red button!"
"No way man, I hit it last time, it's your turn..."
"Dude, you need to hit the button, because that guy is getting thrashed under the chair"
"No worries man, it'll pull him down the ramp!"
"Right on dude!"
Safety was our #1 concern! :righton:

Ultimate players... easily in the top 3 for safest groups of people i know...
i always assumed the phrase came from the fact that eveyone seemed to have their own first aid kit, well stocked! we had safety meetings before every game, often at half time, and always afterwards.
added ironic bonus; you were always at your safest *after* you got hurt...
