Does the Wal-Mart satisfaction guarantee still hold up? 90 days and you get a complete refund, got to be cheaper than a lawyer! I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Have been there and fractured my back. Do take your time to make sure it is fully healed. DON'T rush into things. DON'T worry about it - it will recover - mine took about 4 months - but it depends on the injury. DO use it as a chance to save up jump money I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

The problem is that this is how the skydiving population regard the BPA. The BPA is at best regarded as an insurance broker and at worst a tax on skydiving. Last year 7% of BPA members quit - (BPA chairman's report) If any other business lost 7% of its core business the board would be replaced instantly. The lack of elections this year and low voter numbers last year is indicative of a membership who do not relate to the BPA. They see the same old faces taking decisions they cannot understand - but seem to benefit from. (Why did the questionaire have no questions about insurance?) The recent rises in insurance have brought this to the fore and the membership now wants to know why they are paying so much while other Europeans are getting so much more for less. If the BPA isn't "evil and devious" it needs to convince its own membership that it isn't otherwise members will continue to leave. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Nethers was busy on Sat am with people checking BPA -membership - forms perfectly acceptable - and APA membership but then jumping happily. Yes you can be a civi and jump at Nethers and yes the bar does sell all drinks for £1.50 I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine.... -
DFV is the German skydiving association. They were discussing whether jumpers at a BPA dropzone could be covered by DFV insurance. The BPA has just ruled against this. DFV covers you £2million world wide (inc USA) and only costs £60 per year, membership and insurance. Makes you wonder why we pay so much more doesn't it?

I had to leave mine til the last minute as the BPA were deciding whether to accept DFV insurance or not. I think it is very irresponsible for the manager to decide that the BPA staff could have that Tuesday off. What is wrong with them taking a day after the deadline - any day - why inconvenience members by taking off time 3 days before the ONLY deadline of the year?

I bought some at the Eloy boogie - it was excellent as they were selling them just where I was packing - I didn't have to move to eat.

:12:0 I had great days on Friday and Sat - the weather was poor on Sunday so no jumping and had to start a course on monday - who starts a course on a Bank holiday? At least the weather was blue skies and no wind as I was trapped inside looking at theories of war I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Amazing how the Europeans have 6 companies which will insure them - at significantly reduced cost. The decision to reduce the overseas cover was - apparently - taken by council - not the insurance company. If we require £2 million cover in the UK - which we pay a lot for - why do we only need £100,000 abroad. If you hit a plane and your insurance does not cover the cost you could get sued. For a LOT. A new member could now go jumping abroad thinking that the BPA fully covered him. He hits a building or a plane on landing and the £100,000 is no where near enough to cover the costs. He faces being sued and losing his house to pay the bill. The BPA is supposed to be there to look after its members interests. If we only need £100,000 then lets get that in the UK and cut the premiums - if we need £2 million to be safe then keep it world wide. I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

The BPA have decided to reduce overseas 3rd party insuarnce from £2 million to £100,000. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/uk.rec.skydiving/browse_thread/thread/0a154c9875a94cf2/56e056c66c8869a9#56e056c66c8869a9 Will this 80% reduction in cover reduce the cost of the insurance? NO. Edited to add: Have just checked the BPA web page and there is nothing on it. They haven't even got the decency to tell us! Will this help the European skydiving league to develop? NO. Will the instuctors insurance still be subsidised by the experienced skydivers? Of course! I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....

Last week wen for a wander around Windsor - where the Queen lives and across the river to Eton where Prince Harry and William went to school. I think I have now found out why so many of the British Aristocracy keep getting themselves in trouble... I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine....
