  1. in theory, IIRC, for an intentional jump, you should jump with a 2 canopy system. Maybe some people have authorisations. It's not because it's done that it's legal. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  21. skydiving is not considered as a "high risk activity" by insurances, so skydiving accidents are covered by your "accident insurance", which is paid by your employer (generally speaking) health insurance (illness/sickness) is mandatory and paid by yourself (generally, sometimes also paid by your employer), will cover only illness related hospitalisation third party liability insurance (for skydiving), AFAIK only 2 insurances cover these risks in Switz. IIRC, Winterthur Insurance is the one for skydiving, Generai Insurance covers both paragliding/hanggliding and also skydiving The Air Glacier or Rega insurances (better take the REGA), are complementary insurances which will take in charge heli rescue etc. (actually more something like the difference between what your insurance will pay and what's left to pay). Recently Air Glacier decided to NOT take in charge costs of BASE jump accidents, but they'll rescue you the same. This might have changed again but that's my actual understanding I'm no insurance specialist, could be a bit off with the words and the principles Edited to add : welcome to choco-bank-snow country
  22. how pulling at "any" speed can be soft and nice : get a decent canopy yes, this is a "humor tentative" in a "serious tentative".. but some canopies will open nicely at "any" decent speed ...
