bertyboop   10 #1 Posted May 18, 2017 Just seen a sky diver over intake on his own. Isn't this dangerous considering we have been forecast a storm?

bertyboop   10 #4 Posted May 18, 2017 Pretty sure it was a sky diver haha. No penguins I'm afraid. I usually see them around catcliffe morrisons area, but I've never seen one around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
monkey104 Â Â 10 #5 Posted May 18, 2017 All skydivers have to pass a level of competency in order to jump on their own. Once they are qualified they then have to do a practice run prior to every jumps session. Local weather forecast are checked throughout the day by the jump school and bearing in mind that any failure to check out the weather prior to flights is their failure and responsibility. I don't see it not being safe for the diver or he would not have been allowed to jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
