tandem jump if you have shoulder problems

[azdiver 0]

i have a friend that wants to do a tandem but he has a problem with his shoulder he works in construction and can still do his job wich requires him to do a lot of lifting without a lot of problems. its just if he moves it a certian way it hurts him pretty bad. so my ? is should he or shouldnt he do a tandem

light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

I've had tandem students dislocate shoulders during the jump. Have your friend advse the TM prior to the jump. he may want to keep his arms in and hands on the harness during the freefall portion of the jump.

Have your friend ask a doctor.
