Johannesburg Skydiving Club, Carletonville

He had a pilot chute in tow and the way the bridle was routed, there was no way it would have pulled the bag out of the container. This is one of the basic checks – make sure your bridle is properly routed. The rig was packed by a packer, but that does not relieve each and every jumper from the responsibility of checking their own gear prior to jumping. What is even more concerning is that this person has over 400 jumps, has never packed in his life and by all accounts did not know what to check for!

So that brings me to the next point – Safety Day.

We will be shutting down operations around 17h00 on Saturday 27 March for a Safety Seminar. There will be 3 presentations, namely:

Aircraft procedures and drills by our Chief Pilot, Bruce
Gear checks and maintenance by the de Klerk boeties
Safe canopy flying and landing patterns by Rob Kruger
The people giving the presentations are the best in their respective fields and I urge as many JSC members as possible to attend. There will also be staff on hand to redo harness training for anyone who needs refreshing here.

Let's give this our best support and by doing so, help to keep JSC one of the safest DZ's in the business.
