This month’s Skydive Radio got us debating the classic DZ debate: Should dogs be allowed on the drop zone?

Dogs at the drop zone?

• Yes
• No
• Yes, as long as their owners are not like Al Berchtold, who lets his dog shit in the peas without picking it up.
• Yes, in designated areas/times only.

From the Camden Macarthur Chronicle:

Dad Russell Brown, an instructor at the skydive centre, said his daughter had been “bugging” him for ages to do a jump.

“She basically comes to work with me; I knew she had the maturity and understanding to know what she was doing,” he said.

While the legal skydiving age in Australia is 14, Elise took advantage of a trial by the Australian Parachute Federation and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

So what do you guys think; is nine too young to understand the risks of skydiving?

How young is too young to skydive?

• No one should skydive under age 18.
• 16 should be the youngest anyone can skydive.
• You can reasonably understand the risks at 14.
• A 9-year-old should be able to skydive, no problem.
• Six is about the right time to start someone jumping.
• It depends on the person, parents and circumstances.
• There should be no age minimum.

Our last lame poll wasn’t really a poll at all. It was a lame attempt to get you to take our lame Facebook quiz and come back and report the lame result. Here is a real, honest-to-goodness, not lame poll to find out what you do with your hard-earned jump tickets. Pick up to 3 answers.

It’s the ultimate jumper’s question – not which is your favorite for a specialty, or which would you like to jump, but which one would you pick if you could only jump one for the rest of time? Inspired by Skydive Radio’s Show #121.
