BPA Inssurance Vote. All members should read.

You could be right, but I know the first hasn't been settled so the term "new" could be misleading..... Bryn Journey not destination..... -

One is member on member swooping accident claim and the other is the injury to a static line student at Netheravon, which left her paralysed. Bryn Journey not destination..... -
Check this out: http://www.skydiveratings.com/aff.html In my opinion a person with potentially 350 jumps is nowhere near enough to be an AFFI.......but hey. Bryn Journey not destination.....

That is wrong. Prior to bagging they are in the same orientation, no matter which method you use. If you dont understand why then get your local packer to show you. The only difference I have found between the two is time. Some newer, and usually smaller sized, canopies dont have packing tabs. Which makes it more difficult to flat pack and some manufacturers recommend how best to pack them. Bryn Journey not destination.....

No worries. Bryn Oh I know, I just wanted to make sure the original poster knows they can fall out the front too. j Journey not destination.....

I did mean "out the back" of the harness...... Bryn Journey not destination.....

Elegant solution to a non-existent problem. I may be wrong, but I have never heard of anyone, apart from the tandems, falling out on deployment. Bryn Journey not destination.....

Have you gone mental? It aint about rowdiness and predatory alpha male shenanigans. Its a stimulating culmination of a years derring do. I have been engaged in many a conversation about God at 4 in the morning.......had snacks that were mainly bath enamel........etc.... So, definately something TO look forward to.

Just reminds me of the summer I left school. Living next to the Cornwall Coliseum I got to see loads of groups, but this summer was the best. I saw the following: Madness Bad Manners The Specials The Jam UB40 Selecter Go-Go's Bodysnatchers Hell of a summer.......... Bryn Journey not destination.....

No longer will I be able to tell the tandem students that playing with the cat is more dangerous than skydiving........ Gonna miss bandaging up the cat lovers who thought they knew better...........hahahaha suckers. RIP Bounce.... Bryn Journey not destination.....

Awesome tattoo........... Just booked the tattooist to finish off the rest of my sleeve........ Isn't it weird that people without tattoos always have an opinion about people who do????? You never hear me saying to someone " fuck your skin looks ugly with no pictures on it", so why do they feel they have a right to tell me their opinion???? hahahahaha Bryn Journey not destination.....

From a different perspective............ Journey not destination.....

The design is replicated on the top skin. Journey not destination.....

http://www.jojowing.com/company/news.php?newskat=skydiving&ide=265 This should do it. Apparently they have been used in austral;ia. Bryn Journey not destination.....

The HOP330nis fine on straight in approaches. Surge stall as well as 90's for finals do produce a speed increase. Also note the HOP manufacturers (JoJo wing) have produced a tribraced tandem canopy sized at 300. Bryn Journey not destination.....

The lad had twists down to the risers pinning his neck down. So as he couldn't check the canopy he chopped it. It was filmed at South Cerny using their instructors. And my son is now onto 5 second delays even though he didn't jump on the day. Bryn Journey not destination.....

Would that be the jumping or the Lads? Bryn Journey not destination.....

Wow Gary this an old thread........ Anyway I got rid of mine after 2 jumps, it was a POS. However for more info I know that Eddie Jones jumps a panasonic so give him a shout. His details are in the mag (he is a BPA council member). Cheers Bryn Journey not destination.....

When I did mine they said for the first few DONT take a small girl, out of a small plane with video......guess what my first tandem was?????? Yep tiny lady, 182 with video and stills...... My only advice would be able to interact with anyone who is to be your student. Gauging attitudes,states of mind etc, through indirect questionning, helps me a lot to ensure a good experience for my student. Bryn Journey not destination.....

And that Tim was a self righteous arse...... Bryn Journey not destination.....

Just that investigative journalism had, in the past overturned guilty verdicts, i.e. Birmingham 6. And that the program should be viewed and then judged..... and.... Bryn Journey not destination.....

Seeing as my reply was deleted. All I can is I really am looking forward to seeing the program. Tim thanks for enlightening me. Bryn Journey not destination.....

So you have already seen the program??? Dont think so, so keep your comments about it until it has been viewed. Maybe the first conclusion of suicide was wrong??? Maybe it was worth investigating?? Maybe it wil;l be shite, but cant say until it has been aired. And as for PR disaster, get a grip. After any incident our bookings increase........go figure. Bryn Journey not destination.....
