I recently visited a really great DZ. The only thing that really bothered me was that they were putting the freaks out first. I know this has been a controversial subject over the years but I think it’s a great time to revisit the pros & cons thereof. I don’t see DZ’s putting out nearly enough info regarding exit order, separation (especially when the uppers are cranking), and ground speed versus air speed. So I hope to stimulate some debate here & see where this goes.

Here are two excellent articles that address these issues rather well in my opinion.
