Anyone notice that they are actually allowed to go out the door themselves rather than be 'encouraged' by the guiding hands of a PJI?

Yep thats what i was worried about when i did a jump in the US because you have to 100% commit yourself to jump. where as if you jump over here in the UK as soon as you get to the door your getting pushed out whether you like it or not.

Are there many fatal accidents while parachuting in training? I hear It's really quite safe due to the round canopy but looking at this video it looks bliming dangerous.

Not many fatal accidents but there are alot of injuries. The dodgy bit occurs when their are alot of people in the air at the same time and air steals occur. Also the landing can cause drama's aswell especially if you fail to lower your kit in time!! :lol:
