QuoteFor all the young jumpers out there... Lessons learned from this event. I hope: - Check the routing of your chest strap. - Give yourself and honest evaluation on your preparedness for sit flying - Check the visibility factor of a helmet before you buy one. (If you can't see your chest strap, you probably can't see your handles either...think about that. If you can't see your handles, you'd better have an easily-workable plan for finding them while in a violent mal.) - Help prepare yourself for sit flying by first learning to back fly. - If you have your arms behind you while sit flying to the point that your shoulder harnesses will come off your arms, you're not in a proper sit fly position. Get coaching - Tell your friends to do a better job of looking out for others. - Always get a competent 3-party gear check before getting on the plane AND before exit. - Do yourself a favor and think safety first, then fun. - ...and more I now return you to your regular programming... ___________________________________________________ - check the routing of your legstraps also-] Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward

I have been around the sport for quite some time and more and more it is becoming a concern to me. My son did his first AFF last summer and has put together enough money to go straight through the course this summer. Some years back I wouldn't have givin it a thought, and he is very into the sport because he has grown up on a drop zone. My concerns are about skydivers attitudes as of the last few years and probably before as the sport has grown in volume, peoples attitudes are changing and the canopy collisions show this. I am afraid for him in the air! not from the freefall portion of the jump but when he is under canopy. To many people think that I have bought my ticket and I can do what I want.
