Bubble-wrap for a static balance brace, eh? I'll give it a try. Guess I'll duct-tape all my safety gear to the bubble wrap first. How much gear should we tape to our bubble wrap? That might start a whole new topic for discussion on Paddlewise. :-) Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Farrelly" <JFarrelly5_at_comcast.net> To: "Dickson, Dana A." <dana.dickson_at_unisys.com> Cc: <PaddleWise_at_paddlewise.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 9:18 AM Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Rhetorical Question: What level of safe is safe enough? >> I'm with those who what safety equipment, good judgment and good skills. >> Not only so I am more likely to go on trips with people who come back >> alive, but also so that someone might be prepared to save me. >> >> >> Regards, >> >> Dana Dickson > > I like.
