Hi,
does anyone know where I can get hold of a video containing things that go wrong, ie students out of control, tandems not going to plan ect. but all ending happily, I'am not sick , but would be interested to see why they went wrong, what was done to correct anything, if anything was done to help.
Thanks eddy.

If you want to download them, there are a bunch of good selections on ftp.skydivingmovies.com, if you know how to use ftp.
Check the /public/cutaways, /public/students/, and /public/from tv directories for some interesting ones.

http://www.skydivingmovies.com will take ya there in your browser. No need to know anything about FTP. Definitely check out the "stupid student tricks" video in the /students folder. I'm on a 28.8 modem at the moment so I cant easily find other good ones, but there are a bunch.

Also, McGowan's "on the fun side" has a good selection of jumps gone wrong (mals, funnels etc.)

the Break away video Is an instructional video
IT IS VERY EDUCATIONAL. I watched it religiously while I was learning(AFF) and still view it on a regular basis.
"pack like a pro" is pretty good if you are learning to pack bt it helps if you understand the part/names of your rig!
check out www.paragear.com or www.square1.com for the vid's.
or look in the parachutist and check any gear store for the vid's They are worth the $$(USUALLY $25-40)
I think the vid the others are talking about are purely entertainment. Ive seen alot of them but Breakaway will teach you want you WANT TO KNOW!
