| Most common mistake you see new jumpers make? | Men assume women can do the same thing when they first start out. They don’t realize the student rigs can be way too big and overwhelming. I wish there were smaller rigs for new women jumpers to fly.
Watching and reaching for the ground when they land. I think everyone should go through a canopy course and have someone video their landings. |
