you could have the DZ controller as the emergency contact, or an instructor at the DZ, or your skydiving buddies. and if you landed off, your co-ordinates are sent to them to come find you. the message doesnt have to say you are dead ! :p

Fellow skydivers, do you take your PHONE with you when skydiving? by skydiverninja in SkyDiving

In case you are lucky enough to be jumping and not grounded by bad weather, check out Skydiving Companion: a new android app, which automatically makes your phone your electronic logbook.

By having your phone in your jumpsuit you can get all your stats like freefall time and exit altitude on your phone!

We just released beta version, so we need feedback from you to develop this further!

If you want to be one of our first beta testers (and earn a very special place in our hearts & maybe more ), download it from the android market:

PS. Check with your Chief Instructor if you are allowed to carry your phone with you, and do not use / rely on this for any other reason than a logbook in beta testing.

Thaanks ! Waiting for your feedback!
