#Just cause 3 dropzone mods

Now I am wondering if his program will be able to recover from this setback. The aircraft owner put a lot of time money and effort into this program and is someone well known for excellence in the quest to go higher and faster than anyone else. My understanding is that there were test runs, but all at somewhat lower, athough still very high levels. My personal feeling is that there should have been more testing before this attempt. This topic is meant to be about the wisdom of selling jumps this risky to the general public.

This very high profile incident has many facets worthy of talking about.

The forum mods have now twice suggested that this discussion should take place in the General Forum. Since we have lost Tom Noonan in a unexpected way during an attempt at a 41,000 ft tandem jump that also included successful sport jumps the discussion in the incidents forum has included talk of whether or not such jumps should even be done. I am aware the passenger had jumped with Tom previously from a lower altitude. And until they had developed systems and a safety plan proven out by repetitive test flights or flying many loads of reasonably experienced up jumpers they should have not, in my opinion, been offering student jumps. They were selling slots to skydive, plain and simple. Each requires proper preparation by the business and the purchase of a ticket by the customer. Be they hop and pops from 4K or free falls from 10K to 41K makes no difference. Any planned Skydives done for money at a Dropzone are indisputably a part of the sport. But I can see why many people will look at the dichotomy between what Tom always preached about tandem safety and the extremes he was willing to go to himself and see a degree of hypocrisy.

Bad press? No such thing, just make sure you spell you name right. Anymore than flying on a Branson branded rocket is like a flight on Virgin. Again, it isn't really a part of the regular 'sport'.
