achowe replied to dguy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not sure about only ALLOWED to do S/L, but i once knew of a guy who only WANTED to do S/L occasionally. He said he didnt want to get into 'real skydiving' as he called it because he was too scared. Bizarre! ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it! -

Under BPA rules you need B licence to wear a full face. Not sure about USPA. Not ideal for students though IMHO due to retricted vision etc... ------------------------------------------------- Woooaaaaaa!!! Woooaaaa!!! I'm gettin' off it!
