I am an AFF JM on the staff of a moderate sized drop zone.  I suspect
that we will soon have a AFF student with some special considerations.
Namely, he has one leg amputated.  Although some of the staff were a little
apprehensive at first, I don't really see any major problems.  However,
I am not sure of the best way to instruct how to counter the built in
turn.  If you have trained a student in the past with a built in assymetry,
please drop me a line as to what kinds of things worked best in the
training.  Also, another consideration is special rigging to keep the
leg strap on.  We have 2 master riggers that can work something out safely,
but again, if you have experience with this, comments would be helpful.
