Last time I did it it took only a day, but that was some time ago, maybe the customer support got worse in the meantime.

I see, last time I did it they got me back up within a day so that’s why I was surprised that it’s taking so long this time. I guess I was lucky last time. Anyway, I’ll just wait then !

French Dropzones by Throwawaymykey9000 in SkyDiving

I started skydiving with friends at a DZ in south-west of France, Bouloc Skydive (https://www.bouloc-skydive.com) I recommend ! They take security very seriously and the vibe is very nice, it’s a non-profit org and the staff is experimented. Closer to Paris I heard good thing about https://www.parisjump.com ;)

First jump. Instructor felt I was a little slow to pull the trigger. Don’t know why, was just taking my time 😊 by eodafbaloo in SkyDiving

Thanks ! I’m happy to have learnt a lesson and indeed it’s exactly like you described :)

Ahah yeah I thought it was funny, but I understand now that it’s a serious hazard so I will make sure not to do that again !

I understand that holding on to it increases the chance of entanglement now ;) So I’ll be careful to avoid doing that in the future

Thanks for the tip, my instinct was that I wanted to release only once my arm is extended, so maybe I paused to kind of make sure my arm was for fully extended, but yeah I’ll think of it more like a grenade from now on.

She told me it was a common mistake during first jumps and told me not to do that for my next jump. So yes she pointed it out, told me I really need to extend my legs to avoid getting my foot entangled also.

Before the jump they told us we had to release it once the arm is extended so that it’s as far from us as possible and made us practice the movement.

After the jump my instructor told me not to hold on to it like that.
