When in Moab, use a flag
If you're coming to Moab, get some kind of flag and use it.

It's as easy as going to the hardware store and getting "caution tape" and sticking it on a branch or stick ... get creative

This place is legal :) so use all the tools you can to walk away from every jump.( too many haven't lately ! )

Be safe out here

Good advice, pretty much never jump wierd low-shit(Moab)without a windblade. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

Seems like there has been a lot of complacency lately. I'm glad a lot of people joined me in the walk down tombstone on a less-than-ideal setting.

I think it's important if you are with a big group to set yourself aside for a minute and say "would I jump this by myself with nobody watching?" Big groups can give false senses of individual security.

Incident/accident normally have 5 obvious elements to them
.
1 big group
2 not so great winds
3 no flag
4 new exit point
5 ???

Do the Math and keep jumping :)
