You just cost me an extra $200!!! Thanks for the advice

I have an audible and was wondering about getting a second as a backup. Is the Flysight sufficient for this purpose on non-wingsuit jumps? Cheers

Said to email someone, and I emailed them and the email bounced, so can't say :)

Just got an email about bulk time for Ontario and San Diego. Anyone post any more pictures lately? How far along are they?

I was in the area so I decided to check it out. Looks like most of the dirt has been excavated. Not that much different than the picture above.

I screenscraped skydivefatalities.info and the dz.com incidents page. Could add the latest ones to the source data.

Assumptions :)

Will be in the area Friday night through Sunday night and looking to do two to three hours. Anyone to talk to for a deal or just book through ifly directly?

How big? Will you be able to freefly in it like the other fast tunnels?

Any idea about Ontario?

Will this be a 14 footer or one like iFly Seattle, etc or a "10 footer" like Hollywood? I'd heard a 10 footer.

There are tunnels that deviate from this progression. I've also seen solid sit/head down fliers with super weak back fly skills. I learned the old fashion way, and I'm not sure it's the best way anymore based on fliers I've seen come out of other progressions. As well as solid head down fliers with weak sitfly skills.

It seems no one posts pictures of all these new projects anymore. I remember back in the day people would setup blogs with pictures of the progress. Would be nice to know how far alone some of them really are.

"What money can't buy." It can buy you a lot of experience for freeflying in the tunnel, but at the expense of the old school camp fire learning after everyone jumped together during the day.

Or break up the passes so fun jumpers have 2-3 passes for a bigger plane. Less people in the air means less opportunity for a collision. I think freefliers out last contributed to it because everyone opens at about the same time leading to more congestion.

Those were issues before 2005 as well.

You got it mostly right. The y/n column is aad/rsl. I believe the skydiving fatalities site has a legend. CCOL is canopy collision and in EXP means exceptional which I used to think meant unusual. MAL would be malfunction and LOWT low turn. I also only included US incidents.

Using the data from http://skydivingfatalities.info and here and it appears after 2004 the percentage of fatalities due to collisions went up dramatically. I believe this happened for a specific reason but would like other's opinion. Adding the source files that image is based.

Do they sponsor you for visa? Do you have any contact info for the flystation people?

I have a lay over in Moscow over the summer, so figured I could look into getting a visa and flying in the tunnel in lieu of waiting. Anyone have any info on where to start looking? Cheers

Yeah, not quite right. I'll repeat this to stay on topic: All of the news is garbage: Fox, Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-rolf-dobelli

Where is the information about two story tunnels? What does that mean?
