getting back into it after an accident
stuart replied to kuwait_is_hell's topic in Safety and Training
Have you considered doing some tunnel time? You could get your body position sorted in a safe stress-free environment with coaches offering realtime advice. Then when you jump again, it's one less thing to worry about -
Quite agree, shouldn't be allowed to happen that low in the first place - but these things can happen. One for the CReW people I guess: any quick advice on what you should be looking for\doing with regard to minimising the risk of entanglement from your departing main before chopping a two-out (RSL off)?

Get hold of a copy of the "Skydivers Handbook" if you can - well worth a read and full of top-notch information.

equipment/training suggestion for a 300lb wannabe?

Nicely put SkyDekker - all should be welcome and all credit to the guy for trying to find a way into the skies when most would give up! -
I'm a newcomer too but also had a bit of a sticky moment on the AFF course at a similar point. The main advice I was given was...relax...relax...relax! Smile lots, pull faces at your Instructor (warn them first though!

Hi All, Being still very much a newbie - I keep hearing that the only daft question is the one you don't ask, so along those lines (and hoping that I don't break that rule! :-) )...can someone explain just what the heck's going on here please? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Photo_Submissions/Malfunctions&image=mike premie just testing long filename.JPG&img=&tt= (that lot should get you to the 5th Dropzone malfunction photo!?) Sorry to focus on the negative - there are some stunning photo's out there - but I'm (all too easily) confused by this one Many thanks...Stuart.
