Another type 1 here, 15+ years now DX'd at the age of 16. I've been jumping for over a year now without any BG related problems. When I first started I left the pump on the ground, but I eventually began taking it, I haven't been on a CGM in a while now but it was very useful when I had it (sensor placed on abdomen). However I'm back on MDI now after a post warranty pump failure last year. My rigger was very helpful and sewed zippers into my cargo pants and shorts pockets (jump suits are not my thing), this allows me to carry and secure my test kit and reserve sugar supply as a precaution. Target BG's to mid 100's and no lower, keep that big cushion between you're current level and lows, and you'll be golden. Testing on the plane should be routine as another precaution, this is what I do, hopefully this advice is useful. As for pump position (Animas ping I had), I clipped it deep inside on a layer of shorts, outer shorts or pants goes over it and tighten the belt, with the rig on and the harness's leg strap pressed right beneath the pump, it was fully secure, it wasn't going anywhere. Oh and put the pump in lock mode too. Only one bad BG ever got me on a skydive, adrenaline release soaring it to 300 due to a mal and cutaway on my 202nd, the chop was fun but the high BG wasn't pounded lots of water and off we went to find my main and free bag.
