3. Introduction The business and rigger registrations are for skydivers who are in business. This includes instructors, dropzones, riggers and dealers etc. These registrations allows you to add your customers equipment details into the database. The amount of customers is unlimited and the amount of searches are also unlimited. This allows you to keep a record of all the equipment that you either service or allow into use, if a new safety notice is then uploaded by a manufacturer you will receive an e-mail directly from the manufacturer or association. The installation of this system will take a few minutes of your time for each set of kit but this only has to be done once and from that day onwards you no longer need to worry about missing a safety notice. The rigger registration allows for an advanced search and the use of the study guide so you can see what mistakes have been previously so you don’t repeat them. If you find this database beneficial then please let other skydivers know, so they can check their personal parachute equipment. Thank you for your interest in Skydive Safety SID A (Rev04 01/09) 3

15. Advanced Search In this example I have chosen to search for a product that has a BPA safety notice against it, which resulted in 1 safety notice.

16. Study Guide The riggers study guide works as follows: Select a item from the subject options so you can read about every problem that has occurred in each category. For Example; If you select closure loops you will be able to read about all the problems that have occurred when someone ignores the basic principles of how a closure loop works. If you select Freebags you will be able to read about all the problems that have occurred when a manufacturer sells a Freebags that fails to do its job. If you select control toggles you will be able to read about all the problems that have occurred when a skydiver incorrectly packs a control toggle. If you select AAD you will be able to read about all the problems that have occurred when a manufacturer designs a designs and develops a new product. Basically, all riggers and reserve packers should be aware of all of these problems so they know what to look out for when inspecting equipment.
