Jimbo, What the heck are you talking about? The entire point of my post was to pin down Tom into admitting (not admitting) that his agency has strokes in it. The average new guy now has to ask himself, "Do I feel Luck?" or should I ask others for opinions on instructors before I bet my life on them. It is bad enough to be a practicing goober but to breed and start teaching proven stupidity to a newbie is a different deal. So..... What was the point of your post? Since I don't know you from another chicken eating goober at the 7/11... piss off, Jeff James Edwards wrote: > Jeff, > > We live in an imperfect world, you are asking that Tom > be responsible for the actions of each and every instructor that has > met the requirements to become an IANTD instructor. > People do screw-up and no one is immune to it. > Grant you, if someone is at fault in causing someone > else injury or death then punishment is in order. > The only thing that Tom and IANTD can do at this point > is investigate the death and with their finding try to > do the right thing by all those involved. > > Safety is nothing more than an exceptable level of > risk for whatever activity one is involved in. > Every action or activity involves some sort of risk, > be it driving or diving.
