Dumpster 0 #26 June 11, 2003 Shit. I sort of read the waiver for my first tandem, and signed and initialed and all that crap. Last time I signed that much paperwork thay packed my ass up and shipped me to boot camp. Now I just glance over it all very quickly, 'cuz I'm in a hurry to get my butt to Manifest!

andy2 0 #27 June 11, 2003 [QUOTE]SDAZ had the last line of their waiver ask if you wanted to purchase a copy of the waiver for like $350. It then said you didnt have to initial that line. I'm pretty sure that was put in just to trick people. [/QUOTE] Haha, that'd be funny when you told them fuck no youre not paying. Im not sure I would want to be jumping at a DZ with an attitude like that. I like my DZ, friendly and down to earth (no pun intended). --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

lawrocket 3 #29 June 11, 2003 Heck, it still brings a tear to my eye, the brilliance of that Elsinore waiver. It had an intial box next to every paragraph. It had important legal information (operative language, we shysters call it) in bold. It was in plain english, and I found it rather easy to understand. "SKydiving is dangerous. There is no social utility. You could die and you know it. Now you've been told." Even better, they videotape you reading the last paragraph and executing the waiver. I even tried somthing slick and the lady doing the videotaping didn't let me. (God, she was magnificent!) The point is: the waiver language suggested to everyone reading it that you can die. When I did AFF, the instructor drilled into us that we could die. And when you are on jump run, the danger is so in your face apparent that the waivers become crystal clear. I really need to hand it to whomever wrote that thing and designed the procedures. Utter brilliance! My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
