Last weekend,sunday actually i saw a new jumper, not sure how many exactly but new to the sport, coming in for a landing. She was high and headed for the side of a hanger. All she had to do was gently turn to the left and land next to it but she paniced and hooked it right at about 40 feet. Still she was ok, a little fast and headed down wind, but still ok. Well at abot 20 feet or LESS she again hooked it hard left to land into the wind. Well lets just say in wasn't pretty. When i got back down from the next load the helicopter was there taking her to the hospital.. Moral of the story..don't panic.. its ok not to land in the landing area, if its safe.. and its ok to land down wind. I'm not sure hows shes doing but i hope shes ok and someone else can learn from her mistake!!!
