    Sharp suit brother !!! WSI-5 / PFI-51 / EGI-112 / S-Fly The Brothers Gray Wing Suit Academy Contact us for first flight and basic flocking courses at your DZ or boogie. www.thebrothersgray.com
  21. We nearly 'lost' 2 flyers in cochstedt due to a low experienced flyer diving through a formation. Breaking an arm, and cripling the other flyers leg for a few months. Had that been a head/neck instead of an arm, the end result would have been way more serious.. And when the first low experienced flyers flies through a tandem he or she didnt see, we'll see a shitload of new rules. Wingsuits not allowed on tandem loads, wingsuits not allowed on loads with AFF etc. It all seems far fetched...but the big sky theory only works for so long..and at some point murphy will take over... Just because some low experience first flights happen without incident, doesnt mean they ARE safe... SO RIGHT YOU ARE ---- we are already on the fringe of the sport and get a cool reception at some DZs. Any incident linked to a wingsuit in any way is magnified and harms the entire wingsuit community. I have seen the attitude mentioned above and it does not take much. We tend to get labeled as a group. Well said Jarno.

  22. As a guide, I typically put students out a little over two miles, perhaps less depending on winds. The reason for this is that I have seen a number of students either loose a lot of altitude on exit or in one example fly a cork screw pattern for 5,000 feet. Students should pull high (e.g. 5K), thus 2 miles is fine for a first flight. I would strongly suggest finding a local instructor or expr wingsuit pilot to do your first flight with. In addition, there is no substitute for jump expr and formal training. Link below is a list of PFIs. From your profile, looks like you are in Wisconsin. http://www.phoenix-fly.com/pfi_instructors.htm WSI-5 / PFI-51 / EGI-112 / S-Fly The Brothers Gray Wing Suit Academy Contact us for first flight and basic flocking courses at your DZ or boogie. www.thebrothersgray.com
  23. Student suit innovations continue to make first flights safer. That said, there is no substitute for the presence of mind and judgement that comes with the recommended jump numbers. An instructor, given enough training time with a student, could prepare someone with 50 jumps to survive a wingsuit jump. But can we have a reasonable certainity that they could react appropriately in an emergency situation or to ensure they do not injury someone else (e.g. cross back over the line of flight). We require 200 jumps before we will train someone. I have only had 2 - 3 times where I had someone show up with 150+ but less than 200 jumps, and they had been flying a wingsuit, and they wished to do some basic flocking or were seeking coaching. I asked a significant number of questions and if satisfied to proceed, and then insisted on a solo check dive. Not sure if the wingsuit was a factor, but the guy that died not long ago in Utah had low jump numbers and was a Base jumper. Safety needs to be the driving factor, personally I believe we all have a significant responsibility in that we represent a small community and our actions have a great impact how we are seen and treated. I am aware of DZs that are VERY cold toward wingsuiters for a number of reasons and in some of these cases we have not represented ourselves well.

  24. I read of Buzz's passing last night on the SDV chat list. VERY sad news indeed. He and I spoke a few times about our time in the service. He was a professional with a super big heart. He will be more than missed !! WSI-5 / PFI-51 / EGI-112 / S-Fly The Brothers Gray Wing Suit Academy Contact us for first flight and basic flocking courses at your DZ or boogie. www.thebrothersgray.com
