kimemerson 7 #2 May 9, 2009 a.) why is it "morbid" curiosity? b.) license? For nudity? it's not covered in the SIM which is the same as a green light. USPA couldn't care less about your choice of clothing. (I didn't check, though, to see if you're in the US and under the thumb of USPA). c.) I'd wager you could just go do it. Ask the DZ if they specifically ban it but otherwise I'd bet you can do it as soon as you're allowed to do anything on your own. d.) get video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmyfitz 0 #3 May 9, 2009 Yah, I'm also confused why this is "morbid"? Or do you not understand the definition of the word? Unless definition number 3 applies somehow. Do you have diseased parts? morbid 1.suggesting an unhealthy mental state or attitude; unwholesomely gloomy, sensitive, extreme, etc.: a morbid interest in death. 2.affected by, caused by, causing, or characteristic of disease. 3.pertaining to diseased parts: morbid anatomy. 4.gruesome; grisly.

skydude2000 3 #4 May 9, 2009 Maybe this is obvious, I dunno. But you won't be able to do it COMPLETELY nude. I'm pretty sure a USPA 'D' license is required to jump without a helmet or suitable footwear. I'd look like a total fool jumping naked just with shoes and a helmet, but that's just me ;)PULL!! or DIE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im pretty sure all it says in the SIM is that students must wear a semi-rigid helmet (except tandem students by waiver)... nothing about licensed jumpers. EDIT: I stand corrected.

skydude2000 3 #8 May 9, 2009 http://www.cspa.ca/en/pim/PIM1.pdf My mistake, I was going by the CSPA PIMs, probably different from USPA, but here it is, anyway: "Parachutists shall not jump unless wearing shock-absorbing protective headwear throughout the freefall and parachute descent. At the discretion of DZ operators, 'D' CoP holders may choose not to wear protective headwear except while in the role of coach or instructor' Section 3.5 'No parachutist shall jump unless wearing suitable footwear' I realize now the OP is jumping in the US and I didn't check the USPA SIM, and that it is quite possibly different.

GLIDEANGLE 1 #9 May 9, 2009 Hope you have your landings nailed before you attempt a naked jump. Just imagine what your ass could look like if you were to slide in. Even a nice PLF could tear you up a bit (depending on the landing surface).Hope you have your accuracy nailed before your naked jump too. It could be a problem if you landed out.Have fun.. get photos. The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theonlyski 8 #10 May 9, 2009 I would recommend you dont jump COMPLETELY naked I would wear a rig."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #12 May 9, 2009 If you're willing to go tandem, you could go nude on your next jump at most dropzones in the US. If you're wanting to jump on your own, you will have to finish through your student progression and get your 'a' license before anyone will allow you. There's a lot to think about on most student skydives, and I don't think many dz's will let you go naked while you're still a student. Once you get your 'a' license, you can jump nude pretty much anywhere. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketia0 0 #13 May 9, 2009 I jsut use the word "morbid" as a filler.. no particular reason. Alot of people say it around here. I am in the untied states.. I jump in Texas. so.. if i understand correctly once i get my "A" license i can jump in the nude... but wearing a helmet and foot wear? or with none of that.. i was kinda hoping to only wear a hat and parachute... who knows. i think it may be fun. LOL.. Has anyone here try this? is it as much fun as i think it is? "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

Ketia0 0 #14 May 9, 2009 also.. i see people jump without helmets on youtube alot. is that maybe at a non-uspa DZ? My home DZ is USPA."In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know of at least one dropzone where it isn't a problem any time. Most nekkid jumps are done stealthfully. If you do a nekkid jump and land behind some trees - no problem. You land in the town square, people are going to raise an eyebrow or two. Chances are there have been plenty of jumpsuitless jumps made at your drop zone. and you just haven't heard. Traditionally, the first nekkid jump is done on the 100th. By then you should have the necessary skills to handle the situation.Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slj678 0 #19 May 10, 2009 Yeah thats what I've heard too... #100 you get to go naked :) after that I was told some people do it every 1000th jump after or some of the even crazier people do it every 100th jump. Either way sounds like fun"I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slj678 0 #24 May 10, 2009 Haha sorry maybe "even crazier" wasn't quite the right phrase there. Maybe the "guys that like to feel extra FREE in freefall" phrase fits better And I hope on that every 8th jump you don't land out or in some trees or somethin "I didn't know they gave out rings at the holocaust" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #25 May 10, 2009 Just know the law for public nudity/indecdent exposure doesn't apply until you touch the ground so be sure and get covered up ASAP. Other then that it is a blast. I haven't made one in over 3 years but I think it is about time to make another one MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
