DJatLarge 0 #1 March 11, 2004 Well.... Personally, I'm kinda torn. I would go to my "home DZ" where I did all of my training, etc since I took the day off, but I don't think they are really doing anything special for Safety Day and another DZ in the area is. What to do, What to do... Maybe I'll just stay home and smack penguins!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aviatrr 0 #5 March 11, 2004 I may make it out to the DZ....but probably not.. I have other plans for the weekend, but they may fall through.. If so, I'll be heading out to one of the local DZ's(not sure which one yet, so many to choose from). My home DZ doesn't seem to be doing anything for safety day..

Lee03 0 #6 March 11, 2004 I'm going to my home dz for safety day. I'll meet some skydivers from other dz's that are coming to my home dz for safety day, Kelel01 and Skyrose7, maybe others, plus some people from my dz that I haven't met yet, or haven't seen in a long time.-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #8 March 11, 2004 I'll be at the DZ with the hopes of demoing the exact reserve canopy that I'll have in both of my rigs. But it looks like Mother Nature doesn't want us to be jumping this weekend. She's a bitch I say!!!

vdschoor 0 #13 March 11, 2004 As far as I know we are not doing anything special for Safety day... In fact there is a swoop competition in Byron! I guess a canopy safety seminar would be appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She looks like a lady to me: Friday: 75 degrees, winds 5-10 mph Saturday: 80 degrees, winds 5-10 mph Sunday: low 80's, chance of isolated showers Gonna skip work Friday to hit the mini-boogie at my local DZ, then do safety day and some jumping on Saturday at the same place. If Sunday is good and I'm still able to crawl into the plane, I'll jump then too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #18 March 11, 2004 If you are in Michigan, Skydive Tecumseh's safety day starts at Noon, Saturday, rain or shine. This is the description sent in an email from the staff: "We will be holding a seminar which will cover various safety issues that everyone needs to be aware of and to brush up on skills necessary to keep Skydive Tecumseh a safe place to jump. You will also have the opportunity to go through your emergency procedures in one of the hanging harnesses. We will jump after Safety Day is over." Weather looks good for Saturday, so see you Michigan peeps there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #19 March 11, 2004 At MileHi they have canopy control classes, packing refresher classes, PD F111 reserve demos, and much more. So, even though the forecast isn't favorable, I'll go to learn indoors regardless. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #20 March 11, 2004 We'll be jumping PD and Areodyne reserves as mains. I will also be attending two seminars in the evening. Situational Awareness with Bryan Burke and Gear Maintenance for Dummies with Sandy Reid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #22 March 12, 2004 QuoteSituational Awareness with Bryan Burke I attended this Bryan Burke seminar during the Holiday boogie and I highly recommend that everyone at some point in their jumping careers to listen to what he has to say. He's got a certain dry view towards this sport (stuff like, if you don't like the long spot, it'll only get worse the more you think about it). But the man is a brilliant person to listen and talk to (after my reserve ride at the boogie, I had the privilage of having about a 20 minute one-on-one talk with him as we watched the jumping action and learned a lot in that time) .
