  1. Hey Mark,

    You need to be at the DZ to learn to pack.
    There is no real course as such so no fee.
    You need to practice under supervision and then be awarded your packing licence.

    You can also get regular clients on the DZ who you can pack for.

    R30 per pack.

    Buzz me if you need more info and I can put you in touch with some people there to help you set up.

    later

  2. I am just glad FIFA are leaving the country. They took over the government, police force, roads and every highway!

    They have disrupted my life enough.
    go go far far away!!

  3. My AFF student dislocated his shoulder on exit doing L1.
    The wind was quite strong and it came out on exit.

    He has a history of a weak shoulder and had a operation on it.

    I need to know if anyone has experienced this on exit or while skydiving and what the ramifications were?

    Did you/they stop skydiving, have an operation, strap it?
    Has anyone carried on skydiving after an injury like this?

  4. I have advised people to stop.
    It is never a nice thing to do if they have been trying for a while, but if they have done a few jumps, it is quite easy to let them know that Skydiving is not for everyone.

  5. HI,

    There are weight restrictions put in place due to the break point that the reserve canopies are tested at.
    Globally, 100kg is the maximum a student / tandem passenger may be to not breach the regulations.

    If you can find a person that has a larger harness, reserve and main canopy that you can use / jump, or if you are prepared to buy equipment that will withstand your weight according to the regulations, you may be able to find someone that will assist to get you to start skydiving.

    Hope that helps.
