JohnRich 4 #1 September 13, 2009 September "Parachutist", article "Cool and Collected", about the USPA BOD meeting. There is a blurb about USPA Foreign Lifetime Membership cost being increased from $1,000 to $2,500. What is the reason for increasing the cost to foreign members by 250%? Wow! Are they trying to discourage foreigners from joining the American skydiving organization? Is the cost of mailing a magazine to foreigners that much higher?

JerryBaumchen 1,354 #2 September 13, 2009 Hi John, I saw that also. There are cars on the market that cost ~$75,000 which are too much for me. There are cars on the market that cost ~$250,000. If I am not going to buy a $1,000 membership why would I care about a $2,500 membership. But I agree, it is rather unfair IMO. They just took a very small market and made it much smaller.

Beachbum 0 #3 September 13, 2009 I wonder what insurance rates are like overseas compared to the US??As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
virgin-burner 1 #4 September 14, 2009 you should ask the question the other way around; you're not skydiving anywhere in europe with your USPA insurance; needs to be covered by at least 1'000'000$ in some, 3'000'000$ in other countries. thats 3rd party liability only, nobody here cares for insurance for yourself..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
