tombuch 0 #1 June 2, 2004 The Dropzone.com forums offer us a great chance to discuss selected accidents including those that are fatal, and those that result in injury. USPA also publishes a collection of fatal accident reports in Parachutist each month. USPA solicits reports of non-fatal incidents and includes some of those in Parachutist. Non-fatal incidents that will not fit in Parachutist are included in the "Safety" area of the USPA web site, available at http://www.uspa.org/safety/incident.htm. For those jumpers looking for additional information about the kinds of accidents that cause injuries, and suggested prevention strategies, the USPA listing provides a great overview driven by detail. I actually just stumbled on the site and was impressed by the volume of reports as well as the diversity of accidents, and the common causes that become manifest when looking through a large number of filings.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!

diverdriver 5 #2 June 5, 2004 Thanks Tom! What a great resource for everyone but especially those getting into the sport and for those that have been in for 2 - 3 years who may have forgotten a bit of advice given in the FJC.Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
