It's a reciprocal arrangement for diving. The analogy doesn't exactly
translate to our environment, because there is no one-to-one
relationship between the pilot and the wire crew.

Hey Ralph,
???? Doesn't scuba diving have something called the "buddy system"??
And just what is it exactly?

Years ago on the old list server we got into a thread about watching out for each other, and I remember suggesting that we could adopt a "buddy system" like the one done in scuba diving.

I think what they're talking about is to do a mountain-style hang check
*before* you load the glider on the cart.

Seems to me like we "do" do actual suspension hang-checks at flight
parks. Is this not universal? - Hugh
