pete2005 0 #1 December 27, 2014 Well , there is always something new to learn in this great industry . Most of the DZ has a red card for the low pullers i get fired because i pull too high Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BillyVance 34 #2 December 27, 2014 Not that I've heard of. Go to a different DZ. That one is just asking for a double fatality. Pull too low, and have a malfunction, and you might now have time to deal with it.

It happens more than people admit in the states as far as liying about altitude. You are better off jumping legitimate with upstanding DZ.

Most of the DZ has a red card for the low pullers i get fired because i pull too high Are the other TMs pulling below 4000 ft? If so, aren't you opening yourself up to liability for not reporting this to the relevant authorities eg. if there is a fatality as a result of a low opening and you knew about the state of affairs? Consider yourself fortunate for getting out now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites potatoman 0 #12 February 4, 2015 Tandem BASE rigs...... Then you can deploy at 1000ft.

And nothing wrong with silly slomos. There _is_ a problem with asking TM's to pull too low. (Edited to change to 7500 which is the mfr's minimum.)
