FutureJumper 0 #1 June 21, 2010 Did a training jump with an instructor and am sure that something was done to fling me away and mess up my dive. Can this be done quite easily with an instructor who has thousands of jumps and make it look like student has faulted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npgraphicdesign 2 #2 June 21, 2010 There is no reason an instructor would ever 'bump you away' then blame it on you. The only scenario I can fathom is if somehow you got entangled with the instructor, endangered both your and their lives, and the instructor pushed you away for their own safety and for your safety.

My guess is that you had a less than a stellar exit and are now looking for someone to blame besides yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #4 June 21, 2010 lol. Cause the instructor really wants you to get away from him. Really, you have a bad dive and want to say the instructor flung you away so you would fail? This is one of the silliest posts I have ever seen.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look, your profile says one jump, was this your first jump? Reality is, you made a mistake and got out of control. That's why you're in training, 'cos you don't know how to do this yet. The important thing is that you listen to your instructors now when they tell you what you did wrong and what you should do differently next time.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I think the implication an instrctor flung him away is great considering the major goal of instruction is to get in close to the student and stay in close with them.

tdog 0 #10 June 21, 2010 Let's see... You have three posts, all of which started threads. 1) A post about your tandem where your instructor blackmailed you. 2) A post about certain skydivers from certain countries that must be unsafe because of different seatbelt use. 3) A post about an instructor failing you on AFF... Something makes me think you like to start trouble around here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamUSN 0 #13 June 21, 2010 Well, actually on my check dive the instructor grabbed me to try and make me unstable to make sure I could recover. So yes they can, but I think everyone else is right, your a douche!If you do things that don't make you appreciate life than why do them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #14 June 21, 2010 How hard???? not very hard.. How smart??? not very smart..... how likely??? welll maybe..... if you had been chatting Up his G F....prior to the jump... But in reality??/ NOT very likely.. students come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, mental capacity, and physical abilities....they are "walk-ins" off the street... who start, knowing Very Little to nothing.. about freefall.. body position, controlling themselves, altitude awareness and interpretation of the intricacies of a skydive.. THAT's YOU.... instructors may also come in all shapes and sizes...BUt they have EARNED the credentials to take newbies out t he door,,, and are very UNlikely to do something to jeopardize those students....themselves or their DZ.. That's your AFF instructor Just what was SAID???? during your debrief??? jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Programmer 0 #15 June 21, 2010 It's not at all impossible, but, because of the strong gravitational force that exists between two bodies in freefall, there would also have to be a large repulsive force present. I'm not sure if you would be able to generate such a large repulsive force that an instructor would fling you away from him. I bet the instructor would have an opinion on this.

It can and does happen. From what I've head, it usually the result of bad body position (de arching, legs askew) on the student causing the pair to turn. The spinning can increases to the point where the pair is flung apart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
