Landing is one of the most important part of skydiving. If you don’t know how to properly land you could face the possibility of injury or harm to other skydivers. During your training for skydiving the skydiving instructor will go over the proper landing procedure so that your risk for injury and injury to others is minimized. Here are some things to consider when landing on your next skydiving jump so that you are prepared and know what to expect.
Landing Patterns. Before you go off for your skydiving jump your group and your skydiving instructor will go over a pattern for landing your skydiving jump. This will include jumps first as well as who lands first. It is important that you follow these guidelines as all the other skydivers will be waiting in following this predetermined pattern. This pattern ensures the safety for yourself and others.
Following the Lead of the Instructor. It is important that you pay attention to your skydiving instructor as you land because sometimes your predetermined pattern might change. Your skydiving instructor will offer you guidance as you fall and are about to land should changes need to be made.
Windy Conditions. It is important to note the weather conditions around you as you are landing. If it is windy you do not want to land in the same exact spot as the previous person. This is because the wind could take your parachute and yourself and drag you into that person which could cause injury in a collision try to find a location that is away from the person who just landed.
