How do you talk to them?

Recommended Posts

I will talk to people who are hazards to others and myself, if no one else does. I try to keep it simple and straightforward about what happened trying not to yell. If I find that I am talking to brick wall, I’ll go to the DZO. I have seen others talk to the DZO or S&TA about an unsafe long time skydiver and I find the larger the group complaining the better the results.

The DZO or whom ever they have delegated the responsibility is the one who enforces DZ policies, not the community. Pulling a reserve handle to insure an individual is grounded is not an option by anybody its better to simply send the SOB down the road.

What I have witnessed at home, is there are different levels of action a DZO will take depending on the individual and severity of the action. Unfortunately in skydiving, as with many other things, is also inundated by the Good Old Boy Network mentality where ones own status in skydiving will bring them leniency.
