You're in a 12 foot tunnel with a blast of wind. A badly executed move can get you rather hurt.



With the tunnel instructor spotting you for the first few tries it rather easy. ;) Are you a tunnel Instructor?

It's a lot easier to safely do this in the sky.



How many AFF students have you taken into the sky? How many have you had to catch and recover them from being unstable on their back to make this assumtion? Are you an AFF Instructor?

10 minutes from nothing to doing that seems fast.



Not for some. :)

Don't need to be an instructor to know I can't break my neck in the sky, Ed. Nor do I have to stay in a 12 ft circle, though it probably would have helped me immensely to have horizonal references to know when I was backsliding. (or when the instructor was deliberately doing so)

Are you serious? If you have ever had the chance to catch an unstable, and usually spinning, student and recover them to a stable position, you'd understand how brutal the impact can be sometimes when your stopping them to get them stable.
If you think you cant break your neck in the sky, maybe you'd better reevaluate the sport your in. ;)
