Shark 0 #1 March 14, 2005 Our topics included basic gear checks along with familiarization with borrowed/rental gear by our S&TA, Canopy safety by Jonathan Tagle, freefly safety & gear by Chris Fiala, and basic rig maintenance by our staff rigger. Jay Stokes also gave a fatality review of recent and past incidents. We also had the hanging harness available for both students and experienced jumpers. I'm glad most everybody took advantage of the resources available. It was a busy day, informative and fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydivingNurse 0 #5 March 14, 2005 Even though I haven't learned how to pack yet, I learned a bunch of stuff about what to look for in the rig. For a not-so-long seminar, our rigger taught me a lot. The hanging harness was fun as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
