  1. In competition I do not wear a helmet and sometimes training jumps I don't either. On skydives with people other than my camera flyer...I always wear a helmet.

    No need to go ugly Course if I am out and about, I generally have a security system that even a small country couldn't get past.

  7. Anyone familiar with horseshoe mals? Yeah Tevas have been known to cause them....small microlines and huge tandem lines. All I am asking is that folks think.

  20. I think it depends on how far off they land. If it is way out, yes I will always land off with my buddy even if I can make it back. I would hope that my buddy would do the same.
  21. Well what I can offer is that SDA puts up a hecl of a lot of jump every year. If one can not imagine a sceneiro, perhaps it would do well to pay a visit here and sit and watch. This post was to have people think about their choices, not to open a debate. I will also add that there are folks out here with tens of thousands of jumps that are well honed canopy pilots. They won't wear tevas for above mentioned points.
  22. How about coming in to a landing area short and having a bad landing on asphalt? Leather tennis shoes would have protected the toes far better. This is just one example.
  23. There are lots of folks that choose to fly with Tevas or something similar. Some folks skydive without foot protection at all (bare) I just want to put a couple of thoughts out here for those that aren't aware of the risks. This foot wear offers no support to the ankle, nor do they protect your toes or heels. (They get smelly after awhile too) In the past week I have seen severe trauma to digits, ankles and heels, and not on the same person. Please think about off landings and what may happen. Think of what may happen if you drag your feet, especially on gravel or concrete. Are your canopy skills as such that you can afford the risks? This post is not intented to open a discussion of "Well I wear Tevas" but rather to just get you to "think".
