Rat: >like i said previously... if i were the cop and that was >my concern? i would instruct them to move to a safer >place. maybe 10 feet to either side. If you're thinking that "10 feet to either side" is going to make a safety difference when a gust comes by, I'm glad you're not the cop making that decision. JB
oh geez... im not there surveying the land... lets say 20. but... given the conditions that day that we witness in the video... i am not real worried about a gust of significance. i don't care if you hang glide or not...
wow...by far my favorite park i have ever visited...and ive been to most of them....i camped all somewhere behind half dome for a couple of days...if there was a hike to el cap i think i did it; if not it was yosimite falls...nontheless is was breathtaking to say the least.....many people from all over the world were camped out on the base of EL CAP just waiting to scale it....thats awesome..peace
*Sigh* My only concern at this point is that your vote at the upcoming election will likely offset someone else's who really put some thought into it.
>but... given the conditions that day that we witness >in the video... i am not real worried about a gust >of significance. i don't care if you hang glide or not... You can care or not, but the gust won't. Some of the worst thermal induces gusts come on absolutely calm prevailing wind days. When they latch on they don't let go. Rat, many of these clips were filmed at flying sites in Washington State btw, including those you see in the first minute. Check out 1:20 and 3:50 and you'll see that if the wind gets a hold of something, it isn't pretty. Not saying the conditions were the same, just making a point that the law should consider. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q3QcMB2owFc"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q3QcMB2owFc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> JB
This is what happens when you give a gun and uniform to dumb fucks. The "PIG" was obviously attempting to force his politics onto the sign holders. For those of you who are concerend about the potential risk of falling, any adult living in the northwest has learned the value of a tether. As far as I can see from the vid, thats the only brain fart displayed by the sign holders. The "PIG" could've turned into a "COP" by pointing that out to them.
