Skydive Laconia?

Resident 2B · 05-19-2009, 12:16 PM

Regarding the proposal to allow sky diving at Laconia airport while the runways are active, I am having a very hard time thinking that this can be safely accomplished.

I would fully support the proposal if the people jumping out of the plane where landing a safe distance away from the airport. However, mixing airplanes taking off or landing with people floating back to Earth sharing the same landing zone makes no sense to me.

It sounds to me like a fatal accident just waiting to happen.

I do not see this as a denial of personal freedom. People can jump out of planes and land in fields away from the airport. I see having the sky diving landing zone at the airport as something excessively risky. Far less risky acts are prohibited by law.
