Hey, Before my first ever jump this past weekend, my tandem instructor told me that I'd have to hold on to my harness the whole time we were dropping. I wasn't about to question her 'cause I had no desire to die (or take her with me) but am curious as to why she'd suggest that and didn't think to ask her after the jump. Why would it be unsafe to spread your arms out? I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I told the employees at the office that I was on medication for seizures (but seizure-free for three years). Alternatively, could I have seemed so scared that she thought I'd reflexively do something that could endanger us? Thanks in advance for any replies!
