I see where of the 18 U.S. fatalities this year, 75% were under open functioning canopies. ~ SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT! ~ I think if a DZO/USPA honestly wants to make any dropzone a safer place...statistically speaking, mandatory AOD's shouldn't be at the top of the list. 68% of statistics are made up.

One time, while still a teen, I was on a trampoline with my girlfriend and as she fell down on her back (still holding my hand) I was bouncing back up and was pulled abruptly back down right on her bent knee.

Spoken like a non-pilot. No, I am not a pilot, although I have flown and landed an airplane. I am more of a control freak, and if I have to come down in an airplane (as a jumper), I am not in contrlol. Any time I fly as a non jumper, commercial or for fun, landing scares the S*&t out of me.

A single story from me. I was visiting some friends at a DZ in Nebraska when they had a Pac 750 stop by on the way through the area. The winds had been on the high side most of the day, but with a Pac there, everyone was enjoying the altitude. What turned out to be the last load for the day was just about on jump run when someone on the ground radioed up saying that ground winds had just gusted to almost 40 MPH (they had been 20-25 MPH up to this point). The pilot decided not to let us jump and descended with all jumpers on board. The actual landing was the most scared I have been in quite a while. The pilot decided to land into the wind on the "short runway" (more of a taxi-way really). The plane partly veered off the runway to the left (had the corn not been cut the wing would have caught it) and then the pilot was barely able to keep control bringing the plane around and through the pea pit (leaving a tire track), this time narrowly missing the wind sock tower. We did not get our money back for the load. Needless to say, in the future I will ask the pilot to allow me to take my chances under canopy. Pilots are not accustomed to landing jump planes fully loaded. Just my .02 Don't Pull Low... Unless You ARE!!! The pessimist says, "It can't get any worse than this."

I don't understand. Where experienced jumpers not allowed to jump? Did they suspend normal jump operations for this event? Where the only jumps made pre-organized special event jumps?
