[TVHGC Members] BFR 2015

Just a quick reminder that it is the TVHGC BFR this Sunday, the 15th March.

 

For those that don't know, BFR stands for Big Fat Repack which is a safety event that has been run by TVHGC for 20 years now and was the first of its kind. It gives you a chance to test your rescue system and throwing technique in a safe environment on our zip wire. You then get advice and a helping hand if needed on how to re-pack your reserve from BHPA registered re-packers.

 

Your reserve is not your second chance but your last chance if all else goes wrong in flight. Despite the length of time the BFR has been running we still see around a 5% failure rate of rescue systems at the event. This is either down to pilot's technique (lack of training and practice), reserve problems (packing etc) or harness reserve incompatibilities.

 

There are still places left but they are going fast so don't delay, we are accepting bookings until lunchtime on Friday to allow time for BHPA membership checks. This event is open to both TVHGC members and also non-members although BHPA membership is a requirement (day membership can be taken out if necessary).

This is a pre-booked event only, strictly no admittance on the day, so please don't just turn up hoping to get in as you will be disappointed.

 

One day, having attended the BFR might just save you from becoming another statistic!
