FallingAngel 0 #1 March 9, 2003 I just got my senior riggers ticket today and was wondering how many other female riggers (senior or master) there were out there. I figure not too many since there aren't many women in the sport to begin with. Its amazing I even got my ticket too because the riggers course I took coincided with my 21st birthday so I spent the whole week celebrating instead of studying!

freeflir29 0 #2 March 9, 2003 My (Previous) rigger was female. Caryn from SD Atlanta. A little testy....but she knows her shit and has quite a several saves already. I haven't had the pleasure of riding my PD 176 yet.......but I'm sure it'll happen some day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,445 #3 March 9, 2003 Just FYI, there's a pretty good thread about this in the Women Only Forum, too. Search for the thread "Female Riggers." I'd post a link, but the link piece of the post isn't showing up. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #8 March 9, 2003 QuoteI think there is one at Archway Skydiving in Vandalia Illinois too. Talked w/ her once, seemed cool and knowledgable (forgot her name though, forgive me) That's probably Terri. I don't think she's a rigger, but she does run the gear store and knows her stuff. Anyway, congrats on the ticket, Tracy. As for the original question, there's at least one female rigger at Sky Knights (she's also an AFF I/E, I think).

riggerrob 643 #14 March 9, 2003 In California in worked with Terresa Tran, Annie Helliwell and what's-her-name. Terrisa was a fine Senior Rigger until she went in on a BASE jump. I cried at Terrisa's funeral. Annie is one of the best riggers I have ever had the privilege of working with. Annie is also a DPRE and administered my Master Rigger test. Then there is Eileen what's-her-name from Wisconsin and Kelly what's-her-name who has been running Strong Enterprises' loft for longer than I can remember. Anyways, I have several female riggers over the years, most of them good. They tend to develop neater techniques than guys because they lack the muscle to "force" containers closed.
