evh 22 #27 February 26, 2005 Jump #41, my first 20 seconds delay (after static line progression) Our entire skydiving club from Holland is visiting a foreign dropzone, Moorsele in Belgium for a week. Now Belgians speak a language very similar to dutch... but they pronouce it a bit...well..weird What I didn't know at the time - Belgian procedures are a bit less tight then I am used to. Dutch way to get a staticline student out of the plane: JM: READY?! Student: YES!! JM: GO!!! Always exactly the same At 40 jumps I got a bit used to this drill. Now for the Belgian way: Me, standing on the strut of the Porter concentrating on my first 20 second delay... JM: Ok????? Me: YES!!! JM: Ok????? Me (huh? Didn't he hear me??): YEEESSSS!!!!!! JM : Ok????? Me (wondering what could be wrong): YES! JM (waits a few seconds, worried look on his face): Ok????? Me (what could be wrong? I want to jump!!): YES!! At that moment I realise that OK? in Belgian probably means GO!!! in Dutch, so I jump. Even made it back to the landing area! Afterwards I learnt that the Dutch jumpers on the load understood exactly what was going on and had a great laugh on their way to 13000 ft. My jumpmaster was still a bit confused when I spoke to him... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
