Safety Day at Elsinore

Recommended Posts

Hope that it's ok to begin a thread about this. Like many fellow skydivers, I am always very interested in any safety seminars and events held at the DZ, but I must have been out of town last year as this is my beer Safety Day.

I spoke with Kat, and Lob is still finalizing the schedules at Elsinore and will try to get more info. on the website. I've been told by a friend that they will begin Safety Day at 8:30 and seminars will be fluid. However, from what I was just told, there is no "official" time when it will begin, but the instructors will be available to help us with any questions, and we can always get into their new hanging harness and pull handles. The seminars will happen more towards the afternoon, than in the morning because the jumping will be winding down more by then.

After the death at Perris last weekend, I am sure that many of us are left wanting to do everything possible to be as safe as possible in the sky. I am stumped and frustrated by that situation, myself.

Anyway, please add your names to the list that I've begun and any more relevant information that you can add here regarding Safety Day. I don't know exactly what to expect, but I'd like to know what we should be covering within this day. Thank you.

I'm driving down for the Excel weekend/Safety Day.

Subjects of interest to me:
1) gear checks - ex: what does a misrouted bridle look like. Or what else on someone else's rig that doesn't look quite like mine.
2) usual exit separation stuff - I get too many people asking me to apply the 45 degree rule before jumping after them.
3) canopy traffic. When I'm first out, but due to WL, close to last down, it can be interesting. No scares, but more knowledge is welcome.

Nicky, I'm so sorry. [:/] I was in a hurry and thought I had included your name there.

Keith ~ You're welcome, and thank you for the information that you've included in the link. :)

Hey Ro,

Are you up for playing in the evening??? The girls want to go to the club!

Oh, and by fluid I meant no set schedule at the time.... and the time came from Elsinore's newsletter "Seminars will begin at 8:30 am sharp! Be there!" I figured I would plan for that, otherwise my lazy ass would wonder out there by 3 pm... :P:D:D

See ya Sat. sweetie! :)

What girls? What club? I know that the Safety Day seminars are going to be more towards the afternoon and perhaps after sunset per my conversation with Kat. I was considering doing the tunnel league competitions, again...the last weekend is this Saturday, until the summer! At the very least, I want to watch the Open class...they are SO HOT!!!!

Also, it's Darcy's birthday on Monday...we need to do something nice for dinner, no? Or, we can play at the Bombshelter? :) Darcy and I already have a room for you, me and her at Lakeview Inn...maybe with one new female skychickie (we'll see on Sat).

I am jumping on Sunday, also. I won't be leaving the DZ until late. If you want to do anything else, please let me know...:P

There are at least 6 of us (co-ed) that will be wanting to share a room in the Lakeview Hotel. Should we all cram into the little room together or try to get a second room? :ph34r:

Also, I have a surprised for Ms. Skyyhi...most of you already know what it is...bwahahahahaha....>:( B| We are all celebrating her birthday, btw. Maybe we will even head over to the Bombshelter at night. ~

Anyhoo, I'm so excited! This is going to be a VERY fun and busy weekend...:$

Rosa,

I can get the room, I was planning on staying there anyway... My room, my rules. For us guys, don't try to braid my hair or paint my toenails. Actually, that goes for the girls too!

Just to make sure we don't double book, I'll wait until tomorrow to hear from anyone else who may have done the same thing.
