The owner of the skydiving operation said this, "I am always liable but I am not concerned. We didn't do anything wrong," Dause told the affiliate. "It's a love of the sport. You keep going." I am pretty sure his attorney would prefer he not make that statement!
From what I understand, it is. It has to be very rare when both the main or reserve fail to open. I can't imagine, has to be one of the worst ways to go. RIPI hear Skydiving is actually statistically very safe now a days, but idk
Whywhywhy does Yahoo have a photo of a wrecked airplane atop the story about a parachute that did not open! Where is that California reporter wanting to talk about the 310 crash, I have something I want to show him!

To what do we attribute the increased safety? Are AADs mandatory now?
They were just a "good idea" 20 years ago.

I actually read an article the other day talking about how skydiving is no longer an "extreme" sport. The guys at my DZ had a different opinion, lol. I do enjoy being a diver driver/jumper dumper though. It's allowed me to get hours on several interesting (to me) aircraft.
Guess that depends on how you jump, downsizing, swooping, etc.
That's the one.Sounds like the bill booth video
Like I said...the guys at my DZ had a different opinion.
Their pilots are aholes. Like nose-on-the-threshold while you're on final aholes.
Like take off from intersecting runways into downwind without using radios aholes.
Like not giving a shiat about the rest of the aviation population aholes.

It doesn't excuse basic airmanship. Especially with students based at 1O3, let alone the transient traffic. They scared the shiat out of my best friend who was on short final to 26 there on his solo XC when they taxied onto the active.

What FAR did they break?
Also don't mention airmanship if you've never used your cert to provide for your home.

Yeah this really is a dumb, elitist thing to say. I fly for a living and I sure don't think I have any more right to the airports or airspace as a private pilot. If you are a commercial pilot I think you should be a professional and act accordingly.

What a seriously dumb thing to say. Just because you're "on the clock" doesn't mean you own the place. Screw that that crap. If that were true, every trucker on the highway could tell everyone else on the highway to go to hell and blockade for days at 60 mph. Screw you in your Beemer with the flashing high beams.
We all have to play together.

BTW, I like how the name of his company starts with "Uninsured...." Decreasing his attractiveness to lawyers. I can only assume that was a strategic decision.
Clearly DZ ops are exempt from this though. This is the attitude at 1O3 and many other DZ airports.
