FFFFFFiRRRRRssssssssst! SUCKERS!!!

a lot of parachutes now have an altimeter built in. If it detects you are below a certain altitude it will trigger the chute to release.

blessed? I wouldnt call not being able to walk or move your hands blessed.

Moron.

He's alive.

If you think being able to move your arms and legs is more important then being alive, or if you think a person can't contribute to society after a terrifying quadriplegia, you're wrong.

I'm not handicapped... nor have I ever known anyone handicapped (at least to that extent)...

But life is so much more then the physical.

I agree hossrex........

I bet if it were you worldcitizen, you'd be counting your lucky stars and thanking God every day that you were alive. Alot of people die from accidents far less damaging than falling out of a plane, breaking your neck on the way down and then smacking the ground with no control over you body.

Grow up.

Some people may not want to live that way and I certainly wouldnt count it as a blessing.

worldcitizen, I think he's trying to say it was a blessing he survived, not that it happened in the first place.

Being a healthy person, with full control over your bodily functions, its easy (and juvenile) to say "I'd rather be dead".

If something of this sort ever happens to you, once you're finished moving through the stages of grief, you'd certainly be very happy to be alive.

i certainly would want to be dead.

saying you would rather stay alive as a quadroplegic (voluntarily) just shows you are EXTREMELY selfish. You would become someone ELSE's problem for the rest of yours or their life.

Oh bullsh!t!!!!!

Anybodys wife/husband would relieved that their partner survived an accident that paralyzed them from the neck down. If something happened to my wife i'd rather her be here with me than be dead.

You obviously aren't married and if you are, you don't take your vows seriously....... remember, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health.

Read down further and look at the post from peakunder. Good on you mate :)

ahh, you must be an american

His neck was broken. He couldn't move his arms or legs. It wasn't like he intended to just flop around all the way down. LoL. Learn to read.

Here's a medal, now stick it up your ass, oops, have someone stick it up your ass.

Wow, even if you are joking, you are a waste of flesh. Some quadreplegics may be a burden on a person in their life ( I don't see it that way, but it happens), but YOU, you sir are a burden on society as a whole. I'd rather be a quadreplegic than even be associated with you. Obviously, you have more than a medal shoved up your ass.

Also, my grandfather was a quadreplegic (due to polio) for 33 years and worked every day of his life, had children, and contributed to society in more ways than many able-bodied people. No one ever wished he had died and I don't think it would be selfish of him to want to live. You have obvioulsy not had someone love you or love someone enough to understand that concept.

peak = you are (no kidding) a class act - not taking offense at that jackass who posted above... thank you for leading the way!

Well then, I guess he must have collided with a bug and the force snapped his neck and then he became paralyzed..........

You idiot, how else could this happen???
Of course divemasters aren't gonna let you drop near other divers. Accidents do happen you know.
