Student After Jump Check List

After your jump, you need to daisy chain your lines and return all gear to its proper place. Click on any picture below to show an enlarged version.


Daisy chain your lines right after you land. Start by grasping the lines from each riser in separate hands.	Getting started is confusing part for some folks. It's easy if you know how. You start by making a loop.	Here it is again from a slightly different angle. Twist the lines over by crossing over. There! You have a starting loop!	Next, you simply reach through your loop and grab all the lines.

Pull the lines through the loop.	Make another loop with the lines you just pulled through...	Reach back through the second loop...	Grab the lines and pull through. Remember, you can make REALLY BIG loops!

Ok, so this guy is meticulous and is making really small loops. But you can make just a few really big loops until you go all the way up the line! Finally, stuff the slider in the last loop to hold it tight!	Return the rig to the packing area and lay it out neatly with the lines straight and fully extended. Remember to stow the brakes and leave the rip cord with the rig.	Return your altimeter to the rack.	Put your helmet back on the shelf on a peg.

Put your gloves back in the box on the table.	Brush off your jump suit and hang it on a peg with all the arms and legs "right side out".	Hey! You're ready to do it all over again!
