Experience Co did not ensure sport parachutists received essential safety information about emergency exits, restraints and brace position, prior to take-off.
The ATSB will assess the video when it is produced.
Response by Experience Co
Parachutists are now required to undertake an annual recertification process, which will include receiving an aircraft‑specific safety briefing.
At the time of writing, the sport skydivers safety video was being re-developed to include emergency procedures.
ATSB comment
The design of a new safety video to include emergency procedures that will need to be reviewed on an annual basis is a welcome improvement. However, until it is complete, the ATSB is unable to determine if the included topics will sufficiently address the safety issue. As such, the ATSB will continue to monitor the safety issue until the proposed action is complete.
