Funniest tandem student EVER !

Recommended Posts

Note to future T/I's:

Please... be sure to geek the camera much more yourself than putting positive emphasis on the student. You should do your best to make them look like a world class douche bag for their family's video album.

Always ensure your helmet is on even if you can't find one for the student.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Every tandem student/guest is unique. We must never forget that we put ourselves in a situation that is potentially fatal. So you should never be surprised that students/guests show respective feelings. And each reaction is legitimate. A TI always should encourage their students and positively react to their feelings/reactions not only to put them into a positive light for their video but also to prevent worsening a situation where a student/guest might be shocked/afraid/feeling panicky.

BTW: Pax without head protection (e. g. frap hat) is a no-go in Germany.
The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

Good point. And who knows? If the tandem student has a good experience, maybe they'll want to learn how to do it on their own...:)

Not that you're speaking based on own experience... :ph34r::D:)
But right - if you make the student look like a twit they will hardly consider coming back. And that's what tandem skydiving was originally thought for.
