  18. If I am not mistaken the "Student" is Jay Stokes, AFF Course Director. He is putting an AFF Instructor Candidate through the ringer to ensure you get quality Instruction and most of all are safe. Look closely at the right side orange handle, right above it is a black hacky handle. That is the actual deployment handle. The 2 orange handles are for simulation of the standardized AFF Student rigs we see now. But 2 handles allows the AFF Instructor from either side to initiate the student deployment should he or she not do as planned. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.
