The safety spine
Safety, explained
Safety comes first in how we coach, and it is the most important thing this project publishes. Every recommendation here comes with the reasoning behind it, so you can see why it matters and not just that it does.
The spine we're building
The safety library runs across every discipline: the hazards that don't care whether you're head-up, head-down or on an angle. It starts with the three that shape everything (corking, breakoff and back-fly) and grows from there.
- Corking and the speed differential Why cork-proofing precedes any group freefly.
- Improving the breakoff The breakoff doctrine, the head-up inefficiency evidence, and the guides.
- Why back-fly comes first The recovery position is the foundation of every vertical orientation.
- Gear at freefly speeds Why a belly-standard gear check is not enough for a freeflyer.
- Exit order and separation Ground covered, not seconds counted: the logic behind freefly exit order.
- Two audibles: altitude awareness at freefly speeds Why audibles matter more in freefly, and when two become best practice.
