When is it OK to make/receive phone calls during a skydive?
NeoX replied to NeoX's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Is it OK to make phone calls during a skydive? Obviously, I understand the safety implications of using a mobile phone when you're supposed to be concentrating on controlling your canopy and landing. But, what about hands-free calls where you don't even have to touch or look at your phone to take calls? I did this as a poll with some silly options for comedy value, but for some reason the poll options are not showing. Here they are anyway, but would've been better as a proper poll: While in freefall! Don't forget to pull, though! Any time if it's your mom! Under canopy, to pass the time by calling friends. Under canopy, to manifest for the next lift. Under canopy, if lost or you can't remember the landing pattern. Only with a hands-free Bluetooth headset. After landing off to inform of position. For emergency services calls only. Only after landing safely. To say 'goodbye' when it's all gone wrong. Would be interested in people's opinions, though. And are there any regulations surrounding this in the UK under BPA or CAA? He's doing his Superman thing.
