Injury stats for jumping...where?
bigway replied to Guru312's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That sounds dangerous.........I must ask though, you want your daughter to understand the dangers involved, well do you really think a 12 year old cares about dangers involved? Maybe they do, it is just when i was 12, i use to jump my bmx over 10 people lying on the ground, use to go 20 feet high on rocks at high tide and freeclimb around the bay for 500 meters plus many more stupid things that would never do any more. The thing that i wonder is if you tell her the dangers will you not be just trying to scare her as how can a 12 year old understand dangers without being flat out scared? Also, if you are looking for a more up to date injury report from the states look in the 'incidents forums' but what does skydiving have to do with cheerleading? .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
Well good stuff, just might be worth the money to slow down a bit on the patent ideas. You know, why dont you write a letter to one of the rigging company's that make rigs and tell them all this, ask them if you can go out to their company for some work experience in your holidays or maybe even a tour of their factory's. Hold off on all your design talk though because it sounds a little dangerous at the moment and might put them off letting you see how things are done. Good Luck, and get some money togethor and go do a tandem. On our course, i am sorry to say if you are a new zealand citizen you can do our skydive package at the age of 16 but if you are an international student you must be 18. Take it easy. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I got a PM from you and you told me a bit about yourself but as everyone in every post you have written, they all tell you to fill in your profile if you want any responses. If you do this people will take you for real and you may just get what you are looking for.....at the moment you sound like you could just be media trying to find some faults in the sport. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Sight_burner, just me being nosey......but you are a 16 year old that has never jumped before but from your other posts you seem to have a big interest in canopies, I am just wondering what it is that interest you so much about the gear when you have never jumped? I imagine you are planning on jumping and just doing your homework for the future, that is all good but is this the reason? or is it something else? As i said i am just being nosey but would love to know if you are planning on jumping or continuing as a glider pilot. Nothing wrong with doing your homework .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Yes different course, different dropzone, though ours is similar to the Christchurch one but does not offer all the Visas and guaranteed work placement. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

i understand the rules, i fell that if someone is asking about something in the forums that i should have a chance to answer those questions though. I never made the original post, i have just answered the questions so there is no misunderstandings. I am in process of trying to get a banner up on the forums. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

Skydive Auckland up at Mercer. Similar thing to Steve Smiths gig but designed as a cheaper option for the international jumper. There is no risk of losing money if you pull out during the course either. The course that is starting with wendy will be run by Wendy and Lazlo and Jamie Lyver. cheers .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -
Were you on the course? How do we ask you seeing you do not accept private messages? I also have my personal reservations with this course but would like to hear what your reasons are as i have heard this course has come along way. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Correct It is 118 jumps with your mates, a student 2- way team, whatever it is you get into. When you are around 140 jumps you will get the chance to jump with an empty camera helmet, and then progress to video and then video/stills. There is another course in new zealand that is producing 30 odd camera flyers within their first 200 jumps a year for the last 4 years so the safety and training seems to work in those little jump numbers. Realise that it is a course that soley focuses on this disciplin and everything is one on one. The other course we are setting up will be running in march and then again in november where Wendy Smith will be giving the more experienced jumper a full 1-2 weeks of solid training with her on the ground and in the air for a mere price of 50 slots. You would get 30 camera jumps with different formations of skydiving at our dz as well as 20 camera coach jumps with Wendy and all jumps critiqued by Wendy as well as free accommodation and seminars run by Wendy. I dont want to give prices or anything over dropzone.com until i can get some Banner advertising with HH sorted out. So please PM me or email me if you want to know more details. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

This is a course that i am marketing at the moment for my dropzone, sorry but i am in the uk at the moment and my dropzone is in NZ, i get back next week and make the changes to the title. This course is not going to make you a proffessional camera man but will teach people the runnings of a dropzone. The world proffessional needs to be changed and also any camera skills and flying that is obtained on this course at the moment is with Wendy Smith. Wendy is also doing other courses with us for the more experienced jumpers. The course you have outlined is designed to give the international person who wants to spend some time in new zealand the chance to learn to skydiving up to a level in New Zealand where you can start working as a tandem camera man. It is 30 jumps shy of that level, it is an introduvtion, i have made this course $5000nzd cheaper than other courses like this in New Zealand and have also given free accommodation for the three months(more if needed), Once you are at a level where Wendy feels it is safe she will give you 20 Training camera coach jumps and also the full editing course. In New zealand you have a course where you can get a diploma in commercial skydiving, i am offer something similar but alot cheaper, free accommodation and the added bonus of having Wendy Smith as an instructor as well as the New Zealand nationals overall champion. Any questions please PM me. Please note that i realise changes need to be made to the titile of the course but our webmaster is in hospital. Also think about this, you spend three months full time on a commercial dropzone learning how things work in New Zealand with Wendy Smith, not bad for a student with zero jumps. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . -

Will pay good money for the right suit. I am in a rush now though as i have been let down by others. Can anyone recommend someone who is not too busy at present? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
