douwanto 22 #26 February 9, 2005 Bill is it against your policy for a current Vector TI to have the passenger facing them?? I have been asked a few times but have refused not having the go ahead from RWS. Most have been up jumpers (female) who want to try something new with Uncle Papa whit.

billbooth 10 #27 February 9, 2005 I have made many "facing each other tandems" with experienced jumpers, and see no safety problem. However, I see a large potential safety problem with "wuffos" facing the tandem instructor...they are free to grab all your handles (or arms) at any time. Relative Workshop's position is that the primary and best purpose of tandem is as a training aid, and therefore do not recommend its use for anything else. However, what you may consider "training" is left up your "good judgment". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dorbie 0 #28 February 9, 2005 Quote The military now carries up to 1,000 pounds on our tandem equipment, so theoretically, you could go with a 200 lb. tandem master, and EIGHT 100 lb. women. Please don't try this at home. But the bed would add some weight too right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
