i had one pax freak out in freefall (it was my first day of jumping paying customers!), legs and arms all around right when we left the plane, so i had quite something to do before i got evrything under control and the drogue set as she wasn't very cooperative i decided to end the dive and pulled high in 9 grand did i hate it? no. because i learned to always expect the unexpected, to be prepared and to handle the situation The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

i do beg your pardon? leaving the plane with a resisting pax/student is - afaik - in no way by any "book" regarding passenger procedures. when the green light comes i always ask: do you want to jump? if its yes and we are in the door we go. if its a "no" and we ae still seated, we'll ride the plane down. period!

five seconds delay sounds a little short. my lowest comfort-level when doing a solo starts with 7, but it depends all on the speed of the uppers. when it's hauling even 15 to 20 seconds can be to quick. and ending up 20 feet away on a deploying canopy would have me swearing and cursing for the rst of the ride. i guess i'd quit for the rest of the day, to figure out what went wrong. as for the group before you being freefliers as well: did you ask what kind of routine they were doing? edit: speedy already provided you with the link i was searching for

so you are telling me, that iraq was still at war with the u.s. - fine. next thing you are going tell me is that there never was something line a peace treaty between hitler-germany and the u.s. next time your government dosn't like whats going on in europe they are going to bomb the shit out of us, because we are still at war? i know why i usually stay out of s.c. for good The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

seems like a good piece of advice for yourself if someone approaches you with some advice, i'd try to listen, maybe it's something that i am missing completely. edit to add: but with 100 jumps you probably know all this and your are probably bulletproof & invincible anyway, so why should i give a ..... nevermind The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

there is no "single best book" on anything. if you want to learn anything take your time and read everything you can get your hands on. once you have finished this task you'll have a lot af book-knowledge, but little hands-on-knowledge. so my advice would be: read a lot but don't forget to discuss what you've read with your instructors, mentors or other jumpers btw: getting a friggin big log and filling it with jumps sounds like a good idea
