That is what skydivers that don't go to tunnels regularly think. Tunnels have evolved pretty much in the same direction than skydiving. To offer a carnival ride kind of experience for people that want to try it once and move on to the next thing. All of the tunnels I know have their main source of income in first timers that will never come back (or at least not regularly). Protecting themselves from bad press or liability when a first timer come with a bad shoulder is just common sense. Now, in this case, this is not a first timer, so they might act differently.

David, maybe you should step back a bit and reassess your goals. Are they skydiving goals or tunnel goals? The tunnel is a great tool for skill building, but many thousands of people have learned to skydive without it. IDK and I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other on IFLY rules for this. But as I recall, your injuries were quite extensive and started with a shoulder separation. Tunnel flight is VERY taxing on that part of the body. I'm pretty sure they have a good reason to turn away people with that kind of history. After all, they are in business to serve the market and make money.

Agreed. To reiterate, though, the snag hazard is not the biggest issue with cameras - it's the distraction.
