At the Spring 2012 USHPA board meeting the tandem committee will be voting on this agenda item: "Revisit rule for 'not dropping people' and discuss making it a blanket rule." The current rule prohibits skydiving/jumping from a tandem glider at insured flying sites, and the proposed "blanket rule" would apply to both insured and non-insured flying sites. By signing this petition you are letting the tandem committee know that you oppose the "blanket rule".
Reaching five hundred signatures marks a shift in how this conversation about tandem autonomy is being perceived by the committee. It is clear that many people value the ability to make their own decisions regarding safety and risk at our flying sites.

The momentum behind this petition suggests that our community is deeply committed to preserving autonomy in how we fly. We are nearing five hundred signatures and reaching this threshold would provide a clear signal to the committee that a blanket rule is not the path forward. Please consider sending this link to a fellow pilot who has not yet weighed in.

This is ridiculous. We are adults and know the risks. Stop trying to control everything we do.

totally agree. keeping it restricted to insured sites is one thing but hitting non-insured sites too? way over the line.

Ridiculous overreach. Leave the rules alone and let us fly how we want.
