I'm still tripping that orsm.net is apparently still up and running. Makes me want to check and see if fugly.com and stileproject are still around (I know stile's gone).

The next stage that should have made them want to stop was the fact that the mechanism was actively trying not to be removed.

My friend's having the engine in his Cessna rebuilt (it's old enough that it's just that time). That's a $20,000 job, even before they found a crack in the crankshaft which adds another $4000. When you pull the big red handle to deploy that chute, you total your airplane, even if it lands in a really big poofy pillow. At the *very* least, the gear are toast, the seats are a collapsing aluminum honeycomb so those are all ruined now, and there's a solid-fuel rocket that just fired out of the airplane's tail. A chute deployment is a job for the insurance adjuster, not the mechanic.

Airplanes are *really expensive*. It's worse than boats, and you know what they say about boats: Don't own a boat; have a friend who owns a boat.

(It is a damned nice airplane, my friend with the Cessna has one and I was just up over Sedona in it.)

I'm gobsmacked that they literally wanted to remove the safety mechanism to use elsewhere and it didn't occur to them that this was what was keeping the device safe. It's like clipping your harness to a support and then dismantling the support, and expecting the harness to protect you.

I don't know if all of them are, but yeah, a good portion of them have hoods.

On an unrelated note, no, there are NOT more videos like that on orsm.net. Those were not similar AT ALL.

Do what? Attach parachutes to their æroplanes? Because it can only be done on certain small planes and it’s not magic. It won’t save you from everything and it has drawbacks like significantly cutting into passenger/cargo/fuel weight.

The associated cost (destroying the plane) is a pretty big issue.

Maybe with a bigger parachute and some modifications you can land without damage? Think about it, you're flying, your GPS says you're over an Arby's, and you suddenly have a major curly fries craving...

For real. Any time someone bitches about OSHA being an example of onerous government regulation, its easy to think of all the million CSB investigations where One.Tiny.Thing ended up killing a whole bunch of people. Safety and safe practices are not obvious things - they're the result of a process of trail and error where people have gotten really hosed up/died.

Your managers seem like the "ARE FREEDUM" types. They are wrong. Laws set up to protect workers from that kind of crap. Bonus points since OSHA rarely comes unless someone dies, complains, or a bunch of dudes hurt themselves badly. They'll check up on previous violators too if they don't play along.
