0 in 4500 tandem jumps. Totally agree with having the passenger sit back in the harness. You instructors with multiple passengers passing out need to change something!!!! ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon

Most Tandem jumps in one day by a single instructor

Yeah my shoulder was bugging me. Better now.....now my knee is starting to bother me. This job can be hard on the body. 4500 tandems 4400 of them were stand up landings. now my knee is paying for that. I'm only 28. ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon -
I'm a full time TI having incessant right shoulder pain. I'm only 28 but I've done over 5000 tandems I think it's my rotator cuff. I took a couple weeks off and it helped a little. A I'd like to hear from any other TI's out there that have had this issue? Did any thing help (I.e. a brace while working or Exercises). I'm not really able to take more time off. ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon

I did 29 out of 182's. 22 of them were with hand-cam. Very nice paycheck that day! ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon -
the next few days I did 22tand/14hc, 10tand/5hc, 10tan/6hc....etc.... and then 25tand/15hc the next Saturday no days off for like 15 days. I'm a work horse but that was the first time I was hoping for some bad weather days. nice pay check though ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon

the last dz I worked at didn't charge extra. I was the only person willing to take people over 260lbs (fit men). the jump was just not counted in the rotation so i would get an extra one later. ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon

I came here 4 months ago from the US. its been great. I've done 90 jumps in the last 6 days. I can only speak for the drop zone that I've been working at, though. every dz is different as far as pay and jump #'s. the DZ i work for arranged all the paper work for me. Ive been here 4 months and i've done around 800 jumps. so i'm making really good money living in a kick ass town. In fact we need another qualified T/I immediately if any body wants to come to NZ and have a full time year round bad ass job PM me. ------------------------------------------------ 'I refuse to tiptoe quitely through life only to arrive safely at death' Anon -
