I was visiting another DZ once...I turned my back, three year old picked up my camera helmet out of my bag. Friend yelled at me, I yelled at the kid, and took it from him before it was dropped. Dad yelled at me for yelling at his kid, I informed him of the pricetag of what his little snowflake just had in his hand.

The kid had opened the tent crawled inside, closed the tent, and couldnt figure out how to open it again. So he decided to amuse himself by playing with my friend's stuff..... not all kids are DZ friendly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #20 June 27, 2011 The "regular kids" at the dropzone have to be trained how to act and what not to touch or step on, just as children have to be trained how to behave in any environment. It didn't take long for our kids to learn to "step over the lines, never on them." It's the whuffo kids that are usually problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #22 June 27, 2011 I like the way SkyDance does it. Dogs are not allowed in the main DZ area where people dirt dive and pack (but they're allowed in the parking/camping areas so long as they're leashed/supervised). There were lots of dogs around for the boogie this weekend but I don't recall any issues with them at all (save for the one who ran off when people started setting of firecrackers - he hadn't turned up as of the next morning... hopefully his owner will find him soon ). Same with kids - there were quite a few around, but all were well-supervised. Since it was a boogie weekend, there were more children of skydivers than children of tandems/spectators, so maybe that's why they were relatively unobtrusive, since they had parents keeping an eye on them who knew how important it was to keep them out from underfoot and that they needed to stop playing with the creepers and clear the creeper pad during dirt dives.
