bmcd308 0 #26 March 15, 2004 The one at West Tennessee Skydiving was a success, with lots of new jumpers and a BIG crew of upjumpers. We did it Friday night, and folks brought beer and meat and had a cookout after all was said and done. One lesson learned is not to be too ambitious - our went from six to midnight, which is a long time for folks to actually pay attention. One observation - few of the folks who need safety day the most were there. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #28 March 15, 2004 I give the DZ two thumbs up for their efforts on Safety Day. They (rightfully) put a huge emphasis on canopy control, but plenty of other topics were discussed as well. And I got to make three demo jumps on a PD143 Reserve canopy (packed as a main) and it was ultra cool to be able to fly the exact same reserve canopy which is in both of my rigs. And hopefully nobody will want to jump this demo reserve canopy again next week as it would be nice to take it up again. My accuracy was decent on this canopy (I hit the peas), but it sure does come down fast vertically compared to the 9 cell main canopies I am used to. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What time are you planning to head up so I can beat you to it? LOL _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
