AEDs are getting cheaper and cheaper every day... And when you consider the amount of first-jumper-heart-racing that goes on during any given day at the DZ... couple that with the fact that every year we're more accepting of older and less-than-active and less-than-in-shape people trying skydiving and it's a very real possibility that someday, somebody's heart may need a zap or two. Not to mention what the DZ cookout food is doing to my arteries! Waddaya mean the triple cheeseburger with bacon and mayo isn't good for me?

rmsmith 1 #2 January 4, 2005 It's a good idea, but from a liability stance it is probably better for the first aid folks to have one of these in their kit. Anybody who has heart problems should buy one and let others know that an AED is nearby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
