Section 5: Student Techniques • Chapter 3 - Other Activities
REMEMBER: If you delay drogue deployment, you eat up altitude at a much faster rate than when the drogue is
deployed. See Tandem freefall chart on page 72.
Relative work with Tandem increases the possibility of accident and injury. However, it can be done if approached with
care. On every Tandem jump, the Tandem Instructor is in charge. If Relative Work is being contemplated, the Tandem
Instructor should have personal knowledge of the relative worker and should feel confident in their abilities.
WARNING
With regards to relative work, please consider this. Tandem jumping in essence is a “student training” jump. It almost
seems ludicrous to involve a “non-certified jumper” during a tandem jump. You would not allow this to happen in
other forms of student training, why allow it to happen here. Especially since it has already proven fatal on several
jumps in the past.
CRW PROCEDURES
CRW IS POSITIVELY BANNED ON ALL TANDEM JUMPS UNDER ANY AND ALL CIRCUMSTANCES (see fatality section).
This guideline is not optional. It must be followed or the Tandem Instructor and Tandem rig owner will be in violation
of the User Agreement under which Tandem jumping is operated and will consequently no longer be allowed to
legally perform tandem jumps.
