    Good call! While I, personally, carry close to 1,000 feet of 1" amsteel whoopies so that I can tie off all branches and potential widow-makers on the trees from which I hang (and the 4 trees closest to me), it is easy to forget about planes (and plane crashes); condors, Pegasus, pterodactyls, and other large flying creatures; and bullets that have been fired up in the air--all of these things eventually have to come down.

    Still not convinced? One word and a year... skylab 1979.

    It is dangerous not to consider death from above

    Now practice full body abstinence and you will be Super Ultra-Safe!

    My dad must be the stuff of legends then... he's been retired for years.

    People who use the US Army rucksack can't be hurt--too tough!

    I don't like to hike with mine, but if I'm traveling and I have a lot of gear to bring, the US Army rucksack is my go-to bag.

    Incidentally, some of the teachers and staff where I work got together and threw me a diaper party to celebrate the arrival of child #7 a couple of weeks ago. I had a whole lot of diapers to cart home... US Army rucksack to the rescue! True confession: in the photo of me sporting the rucksack I am not actually carrying all my Super Ultra-Safe gear; I am, in fact, toting about 3 tons of diapers--just between us, okay?

    I'm still not sold on that toggle, Tim. That is a thin walled aluminum. I am thinking it could crush under pressure. Some solid round billet stock would be safer. HYO(Ultrasafe)H.

    I hope seven of seven and mom are doing well! Thanks for the laugh! Be safe!

    Wait...why are we taking safety advice from someone with 7 kids? Sounds like something unsafe is going on around there! Naked Gun!Ha Ha HaaaGet out the Comet again!

    You caught me! I was lulled by the siren song of lighter weight and multi-use. From now on I'll practice what I preach... solid round billet stock it is

    While I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of unsafe practices in the timabababaluka household, I feel I must remind members that some people are born with medical conditions that are beyond their control. Is it fair to criticize the Missus because of pregnancy flare-ups? The condition has baffled our doctors, so who can say with any real certainty why some people break-out with children regularly while others go relatively unscathed. It's just one of those crazy mysteries--we don't know why it happens, only that it does
