Skydive Chicago (www.SkydiveChicago.com) is one of the premier skydiving resorts in the United States, serving skydivers ranging in skills from first-time jumpers to internationally competitive free fly teams. Each student in Skydive Chicago’s training program makes a series of progressive training jumps under the direct supervision of a United States Parachute Association– rated jumpmaster. The training program gears each jump in the series toward teaching one or two new skills. Jumpmasters video their students’ jumps. Students use the feedback these videos provide to identify mistakes. They often copy their videos onto a personal tape for future reference.

Jumpmasters may also copy well-executed student skydives to the facility’s tape library. All students are given access to the drop zone’s training room and are encouraged to watch video clips in preparation for their next training jump. This step saves jumpmasters, who are paid per jump, considerable time. Jumpmasters also use these videos to evaluate their training method’s effectiveness.
