New Royal Caribbean Ships promise an onboard Windtunnel
cpoxon replied to Maxx's topic in Wind Tunnels
My next question is staffing. I wonder if they are going to train up staff that are already employed on the ships (entertainment staff?) who may multi-task in other roles or whether they are going to recruit from the pool of tunnel instructors that are already trained to work in the "regular" tunnels.

Thanks for being the first Aussie who I have ever heard compliment US craft brews! We have come a long way! Ha ha! Stumpy is a Brit living in New Zealand! Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

I'm guessing this is Wetherspoons Richard? I've always wanted to try an Abita since I saw the Japanese jazz fan buy one for himself and Antoine in a Season 1 episode of Treme and I looked it up. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Also, cheap in the short term, but maybe not in the long term. With the small cameras now, there are simple ways of cutting away the snag point rather than the whole helmet awhich can add several hundred dollars to the loss. Something like this can be adapted to cutaway the mount and therefore the camera. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

There are several threads on www.ukskydiver.co.uk regarding this subject. It's a confusing and often changing . this spreadhseet tries to summarise but not sure how up to date it is. I had previously purchased cover from ihi Bupa but never had to use it. I've previously had Sky-Cover's Personal Accident policy but now they have a policy that includes medical cover, I'd probably consider that in the future.

Urgent: Want to do AFF 1 in Sydney area
cpoxon replied to KevinZK's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm not from Australia and have no local knowledge of the dzs, but I did a quick Google and came up with a big DZ that I have heard of internationally. Looking at their website, it appears they do offer AFF L1 only. I suggest you contact the DZ directly rather than going through a middle man.

Recent interesting double mal (no injuries) from the UK
cpoxon replied to cpoxon's topic in Tandem Skydiving
I debated whether to put this in incidents but since there were no injuries and it is tandem specific, I decided to put it here. Taken from the Incident Reports (Item 4) of minutes of the BPA Safety and Training Committee held on the 1st of August 2013: I don't know much else than is reported here except that it wasn't a Sigma.

You are under your reserve.... Now what?
cpoxon replied to Ron's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The BPA produced a Safety Poster along these lines a few years ago (actually worded by Andy Scott) and are displayed around most of the DZs. Actually, we have a whole series that might be of interest. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live -

How many years ago? Orlando is the original Skyventure tunnel and was the weakest powered at 675 hp, but the engines were upgraded to 1000 hp in 2003. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live

Level of information/education for Passengers
cpoxon replied to Backintothesky's topic in Tandem Skydiving
Unfortunately, most are thrill-seekers. But we still give it away under the premise that you never know where it might end up and spark someone's interest. And seeing as you are in the UK, they are most definitely classed as students here, and not passengers! They get some training whether they want it or not!

In the UK, the majority of first time jumpers get given a copy of the BPA Starter Magazine. Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live -
http://www.parachutemanuals.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=39&func=startdown&id=6 The bulletin states that in principal Aerodyne Miniforce risers are compatible with all harness-container systems providing the points on bulletin are complied with.
