The Riggers Pledge
KNOW IT, LEARN IT, LIVE IT!
- I will keep constantly in mind that until men grow
wings
their parachutes must be dependable.
- I will pack every parachute as though I were going to
jump
with it myself and will stand ready to jump with any
parachute which I have certified as properly inspected or
packed.
- I will remember always that the other man's life is as
dear
to him as mine is to me.
- I will never resort to guessing, as I know that chance
is a
Fool's God and that I, as a rigger, cannot depend on it.
- I will never pass over any defect, nor neglect any
repair,
no matter how small, as I know that omissions and mistakes
in the rigging of a parachute may cost a life.
- I will keep all parachute equipment entrusted to my
care in
the best possible condition, remembering always that the
little things left undone cause major troubles.
- I will never sign my name to a parachute inspection or
packing certificate unless I have personally performed or
directly supervised every step and am entirely satisfied
with the work.
- I will never let the idea that a piece of work is "Good
Enough" make me a potential murderer through a careless
mistake or oversight, for I know that there can be no
compromise with perfection.
- I will keep always a whole hearted respect for my vocation regarding it as a high profession rather than a day to day task and will keep in mind constantly my grave responsibility.
I WILL BE SURE - ALWAYS
