I did a tandem jump last year and am going again soon. Someone at work (who was probably trying to scare me) said in a tandem jump a situation might come up where say an uncontrollable spin happens or something along those lines happens and the only thing the instructor can do is cut the other person away to save his life. Has anything like this ever happened? I couldn't find anything online about it. Also (sorry for the long post) why doesn't the student for lack of a better word get a helmet or a back up shoot?
