Seat-belt hang-up?

Recommended Posts

Not tandem, but was sitting student in a C-182. Since I prefer my seat belts snug, my swing out attempt was halted almost before it began... Another reason to have them snug.

While embarrassing (the jumper in JM position on his knees saw and guffawed) no actual harm done.

If you don't wear sit belt for while and you go to the other dz that makes you wear sit belt, you tend to forget about them and try to exit with the seat belt on.

If a DZ does not routinely use seat-belts, I vote with my dollars and jump at a DZ that does use seat-belts.

I remember 3 of us out on the C182 strut, waiting with grips to launch a donut, while the 4th member of our group was behind the pilot's seat, furiously fumbling to release his seat belt. :D
