Hi, At first, I would like to say that I love this site. I am a Brazilian ASL student. Dropzone site have a lot of safety questions that is very important to everybody on the world, but I am having some problems: I am god in writing and reading in english, but I am having difficulty on technical terms. For example, what "line over" does mean?? I believe that these question can save my life. what about a glossary for dummies?? It will help anybody that is a begginer and/or is from another country and have problems with technical skydiver terms.
Thanks, Aragao

Hi Sangiro, Thanks for your reply. I have read this glossary before. It help me very much, but I am in doubt about a lot of terms yet. So I think that in it can be added new thecnical terms (for dummies) like: panes, parachut´s parts, etc..
Yeah, It will solve my specific problem.But I didn´t find anything like that. But any glossary that explain this thecnical terms in english will be very useful for all skydiver in every world
I'm sure if you post on the Safety and Training forum a list of terms you dont understand, and explain English isnt your 1st language, you will get lots of answers... It wont solve the"world's problem", but one step at a time.....
PS: I'm not aware of a more detailed glossary then the DZ.com one Sangi linked to... there may be one, any one?
