Perris Valley Warning Sign

[pBASEtobe 0]

There are/were warning signs at Perris Valley that said something like "Warning Propellers Rip Off Heads" with a picture of a propeller hitting a guy in the head and I think he had "X's" for eyes.

Am I remembering that right?

If so, does anyone have a picture of that sign?

The irony here is going to be that most tandem students that have jumped at Perris have a shot of it on their video . . . yet . . . it's gonna be a real challenge to find a digital still of it.

And I JUST saw it on Anthony Bourdain, when he did a jump in LV. But I've done a couple of Google image searches based on my sketchy memory, and I can't find it.

That sign could have been used at Emerald Coast several years ago. Could have prevented one fatality when the guy ran into the running prop.

That's not the one I was thinking of. It's good, though. Quite cut and dry.

Thanks, but I have that one.

I was looking for the one with the picture of the propeller hitting the guy in the head.

Here's a pic from Skydive Delmarva in 1999 with a sign like you're talking about. I was gonna get a better pic of that sign the next time I went, but it was gone by then.

That's crazy! The King Air in that picture has a DF antenna on the top! When's the last time anyone used DF??? Just a bit of nostalgia.
