To be honest with you I thought this message was a troll, I had no idea the
fellow was serious.

But the point here is, and I keep stressing this, it is YOUR ass. Nobody
cares about your ass but you, never forget that. There are 20 Billion people
out there locked in a battle for survival and whether you live or die won't
make a tit of difference to 99.99999% of them.

There are instructors out there who turn the crank, move 'em in and move 'em
out. That's how they pay the rent and buy the food, that's how they survive.
If they loose a student here or there, no big deal, the poor slobs signed
the multi-page disclaimer.

Let's face it, this is a dangerous sport and for one to approach it with
anything but a deadly serious attitude is nuts. For one to be up enough on
the dangers of deep air and do it anyway for the sake of a piece of plastic
with their face printed on it is beyond nuts. And the issue of monies lost
or not pales in comparison to whether you will live or not and is hardly an
issue unless you truly are nuts.

Think about it.
