Craig, you aren't helping this either. BRIAN'S DAUGHTER doesn't want everyone attacking each other. I'm not attacking; just trying to get everyone to stick to the rules of the site. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Budgie Smuggler Edit: Budgie as in Budgerigar i.e. a small parrot! Budgie smuggling was rife at World Team and we had to take action! It would appear that BASE is becoming more like skydiving every day Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

How so? Do you mean that all of your skydives have been stowed? Or are you including the "FJC" that Tom gave you? If so, why did he want you to go hand held? Well, people on board aircraft in flight tend to get a bit nervous if the door is open and a pilot chute is not stowed! Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Me too. Lack of bandwidth would be the wrong reason to remove it. Or are there other reasons? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Why did you really really not want to? Terrible camera work! :-P And your hand is going in for you pilot chute just as you reach the bottom of the frame. Did you free fall like that for another second or did you coun't quicker than you think? Congratulations on your first jump. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Eule, Are you keeping the website up to date? I sent you an email, not sure if you got it. Attached is most of the UK dropzones Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Back up now. As the list gets longer, the more of a load it's going to be on your server (not to mention our minds). I think the time to rationalise the way the list works is getting near. Let me know if you need any help. Thanks Nick. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Damn! Should've locked my thread in the morning when y'all are still asleep! Leave me alone, I'm breaking myself in gently Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Is this my first test? Too late, Jamile beat you to it and he didn't even know it! At least Ken had the decency to split his sig so it didn't ruin the look and feel! ;-) Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Thanks guys! :-) I just hope I'm a good substitute for Rémi (--> insert wife joke here

There is an ad in today's Metro (London Underground's free daily newspaper) for Radox daily elements ( a new range of deodorant, shower and bath products) asking "How would you fancy skydiving at 200mph in Europe's only portable Skydiving Simulator?" It's going to be in Russell Square 8:30am - 5:00pm on the 26th and 9:30am - 7:0pm on the 27th. Hmm, that's the day of the London Skydiver's Piss-Up! Could make an interesting visit before hand. It also says "Body Flight Shows daily" and the minimum age for the simulator is 18 years. I'm guessing it's the Aerodium people? Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Hey Per! Yep, that's Dan the Man. Who else would wear such hideous colours? Dan is away for a few weeks, bringing joy to the Antipodies, so feel free to take the piss out of him! Anyway, if you look carefully, the picture is not about Dan...it's about me! ;-) Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

What gweeks said... What they said... Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Wow! You get a lot of those? :-P Ok, so I could have explained it a bit further! What I should have asked is does assisting with the flare provide a couteracting effect that helps them lift their legs? It seems to me that students (who don't help with the flare) suspended in a harness (unless it's a more modern design with different geomtery like a Sigma harness) can have trouble elevating their legs high enough and it help if they grab the sides of their legs or under their knees to lift them up. If a student's feet are lower than yours and you have any forward speed on landing that can lead to their legs being dragged underneath you. I did a Google Image search for the phrase tandem landing to find some examples. There are good and bad ones, Here's an example of a student helping to flare with their legs lower than the instructors (although from the the look the swing of the pair it looks like it will end up fine), and here's one of a student lifting their legs up I don't know, it seems to me like the landing is one of the most critical parts of the tandem and at that point, I want their arms and legs out of the way. We don't do tandem progression jumps in the UK, but if we did I'd probably get the student to help flare. An instructor maybe able to override a student's input most of the times, but what happens when they can't? Oh, and letting the student pull the drogue release is really uncommon in the UK (and we don't give them an alti either, because they won't be pulling).
