QuoteWelcome to the world of being responsible for your work and actions. In most circumstances I think this is an entirely reasonable policy
That's bullshit. As a rigger you should have a basic understanding of the chaos inherant in a parachute deployment.

What about you as the jumper or owner of the rig who accepts a non-rigger to pack your chute and then you agree to jump it?
What about the legality of the situation in case of a malfunction and you happen to live through it?
Are you not equally responsible as owner/jumper of that rig which you have chosen to use for yourself but have accepted a non-rigger to pack for you?
As a licensed jumper , where do you stand?

JP- While I generally agree that a packer shouldn't be held responsible for most mal's, I can guarantee you we would have a very serious discussion about it if it was packing induced (i.e. a line-over).

Welcome to the world of being responsible for your work and actions. In most circumstances I think this is an entirely reasonable policy. As rigger we get similar legal and moral responsibility...as an instructor we get similar legal and moral responsibility...why not as a packer? If I'm packing and you have a mal...unless I can substantiate that you the jumper, with certainty, caused the mal...I should take some responsibility. Just my opinion of course...
