Great for beginners or experienced jumpers.
Rated by: PWScottIV (more about me) on 2007-01-30 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1739

Pros: Very thourough regarding EPs and safety. Very nice video of just about every type of mal.
Cons: Proabably a bitl slow for experienced jumpers.

This video presented some great perspectives on safety issues from very experienced jumpers. The malfunction video clips were a great way to help prepare myself for the real thing (hopefully). Being able to see live mals, with commentary was a lot more informative than the pictures I saw in my FJC.

Breakaway
Rated by: skydann (more about me) on 2004-11-25 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1126

Pros: Informative and Detailed
Cons: Some segments had too much talking

I use it extensively for my student training with regards to Malfunctions lesson. Students find it a very good visual guide to what they might expect to see over their heads. A good refresher aid for those who have been out of the sport for a long time. No matter how good you are, there will always be something to learn...

Worth owning, could save your life
Rated by: 377 (more about me) on 2004-02-19 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:939

Pros: Very good review of safety issues and emergency procedures
Cons: bogs down in some parts, too slow

This is a very good video reviewing safety and emergency procedures. Its something I watch again and again, especially if I have not jumped recently. Its only fault is that it bogs down and gets too slow in certain segments, but you can always fast fwd. I know of no competing video. This is worth owning just for the review of what to do (and not do) with two canopies out. Students will greatly benefit from this video, but so will experienced jumpers.
