not sure, I have heard you can't sign away all your rights. I have heard of lawyers walking right through the waiver, but it seems like it does protect those who follow the rules

Hmmm... they talk about safety and the TI doesn't do any handle checks
He does them at 0:33, simultaneous primary/secondary and then simultaneous cutaway/reserve.
I do not prefer to do them that way though.
Had a look, you are right - I stand corrected. I missed them because I was taught to do handle checks right after tossing the drogue and before allowing passenger to get their hands out.

I have done 20 tandems 19 at the one place in Australia.. skydive Nagambie. (What can I say I like being strapped to another man in that position..joke of course)I never saw this video or others like it. yeah I signed a waver and assumed (I believe) the fairly low risk. (no tandoom deaths in Australia for 10 years.. yes Don and Louise being the nuffy that I am I researched it !! but possible I know)
What a killjoy it would be to watch that before one jumps. You would almost feel like walking out.
I understand the USA sues more readily than here but seeing that before a jump would deflate (pardon the pun) the whole experience. (like i said I understand why its shown over there) Thanks Wokka Dipsey Don Louise for the experience.. it was real !!
Some times I fantasize I hear Don saying " greg come back and jump with Wokka all is forgiven" Then I wake up and say damm it was a dream !!

Even if helmets are not required... wearing one shows the TI is a considerate person.
BTW: Helmets (at least frap hats) are required for passengers here in Germany and very strongly recommended for TIs. I personally give a f*ck if it looks c00l to jump without a helmet, I always wear one. So do all TIs I know around here.
I don't care what the regulations say, I always wear hard-shell helmets while working as a TI.
When working as a TE, I tell candidates that must wear hard-shell helmets on every jump if they want to earn the rating. I also tell them that If they forget to strap a leather hat on their (simulated) student,s that they lose points.
Bottom line: professional TIs wear hard-shelled helmets.

Aww, the reality of what you're getting into might sober you enough to reconsider your desire to participate in a possibly deadly activity?
Dang. Wouldn't wanna harsh your feelings dude.

how easy is it to hear a pilot telling you not to go (or anything for that matter) with a hard helmet on?
Or have a conversation with your student?
Not to hard at all, I have been in the door and the pilot has yelled back to me (Caravan, Otter, Casa) and stopped the exit, on the C-182/206 They just tap ya.
There really is not REAL reason not to wear a helmet for you and your Students Protection.
