Safety is a relative term, which for some means danger, for others it is fun. It is no different in skydiving.
V parašutizme tomu nie je inak. Aj ja sám považujem niektoré prvky či zoskoky za menej bezpečné. No jedna vec je na tomto športe úžasná, a to, že sa na bezpečnosť kladie najvyšší dôraz. Ako mnohí vravia „Safety first“.
The first most important element is the parachutist himself. People often overestimate themselves, like to show themselves in front of others, and that is when they become dangerous to their surroundings.
Každý parašutista by sa mal chovať pokorne a nechať si poradiť od skúsenejších a tieto rady nebrať ako „Hate“, ale ako dôležité informácie.
Another element is the readiness of the individual. Every paragan must know the drop zone on which he jumps, the plane and the kind of jump from it, the people he is going to jump with and most important of all the parachute he is wearing.
Even the most experienced will tell you that accidents are a grouping of several dangerous activities during a jump.
Personally, I put all my things in one pile in front of me and start checking individual things.
Po oblečení kombinézy a nasadení padáku, výškomeru a rukavíc vykonám kontrolu „Troch“.
There are three straps on the parachute, so I see if I'm properly tightened and if they are properly stored in the cases.
My eyes look at the three-ring discard system.
I touch all three releases and watch to see if they are in the right place and that they are properly secured.
After the so-called gear-up, I will find people on the drop zone with whom I am going to jump.
We will go through the following things with them:
Po určení priebehu zoskoku je potrebné zistiť svoje miesto v lietadle a poradie výskoku u „Load“ organizátora.
Po vyzvaní na tzv. boarding, parašutisti prichádzajú k lietadlu. K lietadlu nechoďte nikdy z predu a k vrtuľníku naopak zo zadu. Do lietadla nastupujem vždy plne ustrojený. Po nasadnutí, ak je to možné opäť kontrolujem uvoľňovače a to robím pár krát aj v priebehu letu. Niektoré lietadlá sú vybavené bezpečnostným pásom, je ho nutné použiť do výšky stanovenej dropzónou.
Of course, the jump ends with the folding of the parachute in the hangar, so you need to be careful when moving in the sky. Each drop zone has its own regulations, so it is important to be informed about the patterns of flying and landing at the airport.
I will regularly add new articles to the topic of security, this was just an introduction and my point of view. For information on security issues, always consult the official portals such as www.pksna.sk and with people who are instructors or inspectors.
