13 I'm a skydiving student, and I'm have trouble with something, canI get some help and advice?
Yes, you can ask any question on rec.skydiving about learning to
skydive, be it trouble with turns, packing, exits, or
what-have-you. However, please recognize the person best equipped to
help you with your difficulties is probably your regular real-life
instructor. Be sure to ask him the same question you ask on
rec.skydiving! Don't take or act on any advice given on rec.skydiving
without talking to your instructor first -- not everyone here is an
instructor, and no one knows your history and experience better than
your instructor.
Advice given on rec.skydiving is offered without warranty. It is not
uncommon to see both excellent and downright dangerous advice
given. Talk with a rated instructor or jumpmaster (or your country's
local equivalent) before changing your equipment, airplane, exit,
freefall, deployment, emergency, canopy control, landing, packing or
any other skydiving-related procedures, particularly if suggested
anywhere on rec.skydiving. Remember, skydiving is dangerous, the
participant assumes all risks.
