Re: [RC] [RC] Pulse-Punishing - Jim Holland

Heh, Heh...I remember those...gave a new meaning to the term "graphic
detail". Brings back memories of my VERY short (8 jumps) skydiving
career way back when.  I was considering buying a 'chute until my wife
at the time reminded me that my insurance didn't cover that and put her
foot down... :) That was right after our pilot blew an oil cap off, then
made us jump immediately...scattered us all over the cornfields...even
downtown. <grin> I landed in a horse/mule pasture...the mules were
trying to eat my 'chute!

Jim said "this is exactly why we need to have PUBLIC Vet Committee reports
on EVERY horse that dies at a ride.  Tools are available to the average AERC
member to analyze data that rival those of the best Veterinarian.
Just as we use the experience of other riders to train, feed, etc., we
could use information on deaths to recognize the mistakes (and we ALL
make them) of others and learn from them."

This reminds me that years ago I had a friend who was a skydiver.  In their
magazine, they would have articles about the accidents that happened in that
sport.  These were usually fatal accidents, and the articles would be about
the why they happened, the mistakes made and other pertinent information.  I
thought it was pretty creepy but can see it may have served a good purpose.

Just a thought,
