   AIRPLANE WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN'T TALK TO??? WE REFUSE TO.

   YOU SAY YOU ARE WHEN SIGNING LIABILITY WAIVER FORMS.  YOU MUST SIGN

   DANGEROUS AND NEITHER YOU OR YOUR FAMILY WILL SUE US IF YOU ARE

    INJURED OR KILLED. IF WE CAN'T PROVE YOU WERE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND

   THE FORMS WHEN SIGNING WE WILL LOSE A LIABILITY LAWSUIT. WE HAVE A

   PERFECT SAFETY RECORD AND DON'T EXPECT TO EVER NEED THE WAIVER, BUT

   MUST COVER OUR ASS IN CASE A STUDENT SCREWS UP AND HURTS THEMSELF.

   SAFELY. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEND YOUR KNEES AND SQUAT DOWN

   CLOSE TO THE FLOOR FOR 30 SECONDS. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ON

   THAT WILL PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FROM THE STUDENT​ HARNESS WE

    ALSO PROVIDE A FLIGHT SUIT IF YOU WANT.

   THIS MEANS TAKE A SHOWER/BATH, USE DEODORANT, AND BRUSH YOUR

    AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE, PLEASE TAKE AN OVER-THE-COUNTER MOTION

    SICKNESS PILL BEFORE ARRIVAL. PUKING ON YOUR INSTRUCTOR IS VERY

    UNPLEASANT FOR BOTH OF YOU.

   ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL ABILITY TO CONDUCT A SKYDIVE SAFELY PLEASE

   CONSULT YOUR PERSONAL PHYSICIAN.
