tbrown 25 #152 December 16, 2009 I disagree with the low pull anology. Low pull contests were just a foolish game of chicken. Swooping, especially competition swooping, is a highly disciplined and exacting competition event. And unlike a low pull contest, it's a real art form to watch. Nobody who's ever seen the PD Factory Team make one of their group routines can honestly say otherwise - they're the "Blue Angels" of skydiving. Is it dangerous ? Sure it is. One small mistake can kill you before you can even react. But nobody makes anybody swoop. I don't swoop (or BASE jump), but that's my personal choice. And I believe strongly in keeping swoopers seperated from the main pattern and landing area. But ban swooping because it's dangerous ? You might as well ban skydiving and be done with it.
