How long should it take to post an incident report

Just wondering what the thoughts are.

For serious ones, two weeks generally. However, if there are extenuating circumstances making a good report impossible, then longer.

That's for the kind of information that the jumping public at large can learn from (e.g. circumstances, weather, wingloading, relative degree of intoxication, injuries, getting most witnesses, etc).

An incomplete one that's identified as such is far better than one where you make stuff up to fill in the blanks.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I've seen incident reporting being delayed to these forums for various reasons, Rich knows of the two I am talking about.
Both were low turns at a well known DZ, one was delyed for what can only be described as 'political reasons', the other was delayed out of respect for the family of the guy involved.
I reckon if its something that can wait...low truns as an example then we need to respect the parties involved.
If its an equipment or procedural issue, then we should post as soon as possible, to avoid others being exposed to unnecessary risk.

1st report should be as soon as possible.

Facts should be who, what, where.

Then the remander of info should be put out as soon as it is complete.
