Subject : Parachute Training for staff members
It has come to our notice that staff members are conducting
parachute training during office hours, which when combined with
the use of company-owned furniture is capable of producing
devastating results.
Of course staff are free to do whatever they like with their time
subject to the normal pressures of work, such as they are. If
however you must practice parachute training, please observe the
following guide-lines:
1. The throwing about of chairs to simulate heicopter
crashes is strictly forbidden.
2. The throwing of your person into your chair from a great
height is also forbidden. The popularly held belief that
this will simulate the effect of an ejector seat in a
Harrier or Phantom is unfounded.
There are of course no restrictions on free-fall parachute
training for anyone wishing to practice this. The ledge at the
rear of the 4th floor is available for this purpose. However, it
would be appreciated if you would inform this department in
advance so that an ambulance and mortician can be in attendance.
As a general rule static line jumps should only be practiced out
of a real aircraft over real drop-zones. For more information you
should write to the Parachute Training Officer at RAF Netheravon,
Wilts., or call in at your nearest Army Recruiting Office. If all
else fails, then use your head, not the furniture.
