A TV show called “Hands on History” visited PD recently to film an episode about the Evolution of Parachutes. The show was aired on the History Channel in December 2004 featured the manufacturing process of PD's canopies.
Ron Hazelton, the host of the show, participated in the manufacturing process by learning how to inspect fabric, sew reinforcement tape and finger-trap steering lines. After learning about the intricate process of building a parachute and seeing our detailed quality control, his confidence was boosted and he Ron decided to take one for a ride!
The staff at Skydive Deland's took him on a tandem jump and he loved it!
