    Unfortunately, non-jumpers who are coming out for their first jump normally don't realize that. Thinking about it, the customers are the ones who suffer the most. This unethical DZ is turning their first skydiving experience into a nightmare by scaring them (unreasonably). I have had several of the customers who were exposed to this treatment write statements explaining what happened to them. Not sure if they can be used in any way but I thought that it would be prudent to at least document it. It's amazing how most of them are willing to do that.

    The country is the USA. I don't think that the State makes any difference (unless there is a law in some of the states that outlaws despicable marketing techniques).

    Here’s the situation between two DZ’s…. One is a DZ who has had some pretty bad luck and has had a couple of experienced jumper fatalities. Neither of the fatalities where a result of rule or safety violations and both were extremely experienced jumpers. The other DZ is located in the same area. They do very little business, and I imaging that when they see the other DZ doing quite a bit of business that they feel a little hurt or jealous. Anyhow, DZ # 2 routinely tells the other business’s customers (when they call to compare or accidentally go to the wrong DZ) that DZ # 1 is unsafe. They use the two fatalities to back up their assertions. My question is this: Does anyone have an idea of what can be done to stop this? DZ # 1 has already tried talking with DZ # 2 and even though the effected customers have written statements, DZ # 2 denies that they are doing it.
