[Aus-soaring] Turning People off Gliding
Sometimes you just have to wonder what people are thinking when they say certain things to a newbie or someone interested in learning to fly. A friend of mine was interested in hang gliding, and asked for some info. I told him I had no idea about this area, and pointed him to www.hgfa.asn.au Well, he just replied, and he's no longer interested. Why? Read for yourself: > Hi dude > > They have turned me off. I asked some questions on the seabreeze site, > and a bunch of them started showing me their x-rays of broken backs > (thinking that I would be turned on by it). Sounds like a very dangerous > sport with a good chance of a back injury. It's also a bit more expensive > than I envisioned and involves even longer drives than windsurfing :( > > Thanks for info anyway :) Really? Showing a prospective pilot x-rays of broken backs? Sometimes we have to wonder ... Dion Baker -- I was listening to some girls talking in a video store. And one of them was saying that she had failed her learners permit because she had used both hands to change gears. ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
Re: [Aus-soaring] Turning People off Gliding
Dion, the seabreeze site is a kite surfing site and has nothing to do with hang gliding! If your friend can't tell the difference perhaps it is safer that he stays on the ground... :-) http://www.seabreeze.com.au/ Regards, Bernie. No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Turning People off Gliding
Bernie, He's into Wind Surfing etc, but a lot of people on that site are also into hang and para gliding, hence he asked there.

This is exactly the sort of nonsense that gets us into trouble. You have just insulted some one, even if trying to be witty, publicly - yes this is a public form, that the original owner could see. You could, for example, have interpreted the original post as the potential pilot asking friends on sea breeze whom also hang glide or paraglide. So we could reverse it and show that you made a dangerous assumption. It is no wonder we get the reputation of not being accepting of new people. The irony of this response is however pretty funny.
