JohnMitchell 16 #2 August 18, 2006 I've had tandem students dislocate shoulders during the jump. Have your friend advse the TM prior to the jump. he may want to keep his arms in and hands on the harness during the freefall portion of the jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
