Important info regarding the jump „High La Mousse“ in Lauterbrunnen
We receifed the info that a Wingsuit five way (or five jumpers) exiting from high la mousse got really close to skydiving tandems and one of them did not make it to the valley floor. This caused the helicopter operator "Air Glacier" to ground 2 helicopters for a while. Understandably, Air Glacier and the Tandem Operators where not amused. This is a dangerous situation which could have been avoided by talking to Air Glacier prior to jumping and listen to what they say.
Please let me remind you that we are nothing more than tolerated in Lauterbrunnen... We don't have many "rules". Please use your sense of sanity when your are jumping, I think it is not to much to ask for.
Important:
If you jump high la mousse, first "rule" is to call air glacier and ask for clearance.
Don't fly over the heliport. Do't fly across the whole valley, stay (more or less) close to the walls
Don't pull over the town, rather pull high and outside the town.
I kindly ask the jumpers who caused the problems to step forward and go to Air Glacier and apologize for the confusion. And while you do, please know that it is possible for them to stop the jumping in Lauterbrunnen if they think that we are a hazard in their mission to save lives...
Many thanks for your understanding,
