Rdutch 0 #1 March 14, 2004 Well how was it, did you learn anything? Are you actually going to use what you learned? And most of all what do you think at your dz, needs the most attention to train the local skydivers to be safer, so next saftey day can address the needs.

TribalTalon 0 #2 March 14, 2004 i definitely learned some stuff. it was a good day.. hardly anybody showed up though because of bad weather. the ONE thing that i do want to point out that was kind of bad is that people need to SHUT UP and let the guy teaching the seminar talk. there were some people that kept interrupting the guy trying to talk, so that they could tell everybody about their own experiences, which was fine and all, but they should do that AFTER the guy teaching the seminar is finished. other then that, everything was cool.

Ended up sending up one Otter load even though it was only about 35-40 degrees. They said that it was -15 at altitude. It wasn't too bad though with a jumpsuit and gloves and fullface helmet. Probably about 15 people or something went up on the load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RkyMtnHigh 0 #15 March 14, 2004 At MileHi Skydiving, I think our Safety Day was a success. We had a good turnout and the seminars focused mainly on canopy control. There were seminars on turbulence, fatalites/incident review, emergency procedures, flying a reserve, rig inspection. The first 6 loads' landings were videoed and we reviewed them in slow motion which was really helpful for a visual learner like myself. Also, one of our CReW dogs gave an excellent seminar on canopy control and accident avoidance. The part which I thought was really helpful was maneuvers incorporating a combination of controls such as a right toggle and front left riser; and that I have 8 controls (front and rear risers, toggles, and harness) and what input gives the desired output. I'm looking forward to practicing these manueavers as soon as I get my new rig _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tbrown 26 #16 March 14, 2004 I got to Perris late in the day, maybe 2:30 (had to work in the morning). Heard one announcement for a canopy safety seminar in "Room G4", wherever the hell that was. I had hoped to see more and get more out of Safety Day and was disappointed. Obviously, per Kris, there was more going on, but I only heard one announcement the entire afternoon. There's always next year though... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 15 #17 March 14, 2004 60-70 people showed up to SGC this year for our first official safety day. It lasted a good 4-5 hours with the entire crowd breaking down into 3 smaller groups after about an hour and rotating between different stations. Almost everyone got a chance to go in the hanging harness, including some people that really needed it since they were rusty on their procedures. I heard comments about how much people learned, and how it updated some of their info. We did send the Otter up for 2 loads, but then everyone got cold. I was running the hanging harness station and was surprized at how many people were forgetting the try once, try a second time, try a third time - Reserve procedure for things like a missing hackey. I threw that on in once per group and every group messed it up and tried about 10 times before I yelled "SPLAT!"Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #18 March 14, 2004 They had stuff going on all day... canopy safety stuff, emergency procedure reviews, and a lot of other misc. stuff. was more in the morning, though.

And ALWAYS be aware under canopy, even after you land.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites happythoughts 0 #20 March 15, 2004 At zhills, there were multiple seminars held throughout the day. All seemed to get good attendance. I went to the Canopy seminar hosted by John LeBlanc. I never miss the opportunity to hear him. I come away with new information every time. He made an important comment about wingloading. A 190lb person on a 190sq ft canopy is different than a 120lb person flying a 120sq ft canopy. Same wingload, different performance characteristics. Be careful about offering advice on turns, flaring, etc to someone on a smaller, more maneuverable canopy.
