Airhead 0 #1 October 28, 2002 Have you ever had a DZ refuse to let you jump or Black-List you to other DZs? Why? How did you handle that situation? Just curious.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #3 October 28, 2002 I've seen two people get permanently kicked off a DZ. One was for yelling at the owner's wife (oops) and the other was for physically bullying someone -- on the climb to altitude. I've seen someone blacklisted too, but that was politics. I'm thinking all of these are permanent, with no slack.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping they would step up with a chuckle story, but didn't want to give them up. Their choice. Wet t-shirt contest not appreciated by the locals. No sense of humor, I guess.

Rdutch 0 #10 October 28, 2002 QuoteHave you ever had a DZ refuse to let you jump or Black-List you to other DZs? Why? How did you handle that situation? Quote Not yet but I have visited Dz's that really diddn't want me to jump my rig. The reason they diddnt want me to jump my rig is they weren't to familiar with the wingloading on my main's and reserve's. Normal for my dz, but not for smaller ones I guess. They let me jump it, but let me know they usually wouldn't let someone that was a regular there. Anyone ever hear of this also? Ray Oh yeah I have seen a few people kicked off my dropzone permanently, most of them for BAD Habbit's. One of them got in a drunken argument with a closed Manifest after dark, about not letting get on a load. Ray Just curious.... Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Why? No, but we've 'black listed' a few people. One experienced jumper (not a JM) who took his girlfriend (a level 4 student) on a harness hold jump. Two students who simply could not skydive safely, in fact couldn't even comprehend the risks involved. When they are likely to try their antics at another DZ (like the non-JM with the girlfriend) we call local DZ's to warn them. Generally they ground the jumper as well.

One day i was filming a 4 way RW team with a freefly suit on. I've filmed them before, so it was a suprise to me when i got low on them. So i stuck to the center and waited for breakoff. Well they are about as cheap as me so they sucked every last bit of altitude they could out of the jump. They broke off at 2500', i was about 1000' under them. I turned over at 1200' and picked a handle (i really only had one parachute to use at that point) Like an idiot, i threw out the main, luckily it worked. Got canopy at 600' and had a 21 sec canopy flight. Got booted for that, and later for swooping the runway. I've calmed since then!!!
