just got my course done back in june by ralph in palatka and this is the exact story he told me about during my course! Most call me honest; some call me an asshole; I guess the truth isn't for everyone!

seems to me the packer should have taken that extra 10 seconds to run up the brake lines after laying the chute down to cocoon. i have noticed plenty of times when the brake lines have gotten wrapped into the steering lines during the flaking and lay out, but this is not something a tandem parachute should ever be cutaway for especially when it is 100% avoidable with this quick step. hope you find the freebag, yet another advantage to the skyhook!

" I tell the student that it is their skydive and I am there to assist them through it" that is a fantastic statement as well as a great way to view each new customer. with only a few dozen tandems under my belt, I can already see myself slipping into "actor" mode when confronted with students, this statement helps me to keep in mind that each student is a unique experience not just a potential risk if I do not do my job to the best of my ability. I really want to have my students involved in as much as possible on the skydive (without surrendering control), but i have noticed some just want to be completely taken care of. I think it is an on going challenge to try and make each student's experience as equally thrilling no matter how much participation they are willing to give, and it is a challenge I will gladly undertake!
