  8. I hear you. Wait until you see Atairs "new" design known as the Aerosuit(TM) that was shown at the NY Met recently. The suit and the rigid wing they had on display make air sirens go off in your head. http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/metwingsuitdisplay.jpg Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

  12. Keep a sick bag with you. Pick them up when you fly with airlines. Of course it's no subsitute for harnessing a student correctly or making them as comfortable as possible (or rather not making them uncomfortable by spiralling if they can not deal with it) or making them feel in control, but still you can get students who are prone to motion sickness or who haven't eaten/hydrated properly during the day. Students who are going to be sick are fairly easy to read; they go quiet and usually dry heave first so you have time to get a bag out for them. I would estimate that about 1 in 100 of my students have been sick but I've managed to get a bag to every one and not got any vomit on myself!
