Damaging a Wind Blade...

[Kirils 1]

Do you swoopers have penalties at your DZ for crashing in to a wind-blade? If so, what are they??
The poles for those things are $20.00+. I don't think a DZ could afford to constantly replace them. How does your DZ get money to replace them??
Thanks!
Skydiving is not a static excercise with discrete predictability...

i don't know about penalties but on your honor it is only proper to pay $20.00 to the blade owners.
dont walk off the field and hope you dont get blamed. if you play with someones toys , be responsible and anti up the $20 if you break them.

Agreed.

Case of beer minimum....... Buying a new pole would also be the right thing to do.

My blades are always out at Raeford and anyone swooping them knows that they must either replace the damaged pole or pay me $20 to replace it should they wipe them out.

New rule at Pitt Meadows: if an air blade gets broken, the last load buys a replacement. Manifest will cheerfully take a dollar or three off everyone's account until the guilty party admits his mistake. We use per pressure to convince people to 'fus up.
Oh. and by the time we have finished paying for exchange and shipping, an air blade pole costs over CAN$40! Ouch!

Pay up. It's the right thing to do.
