The Dutch Swooping Tour will follow the IPC rules as closely as possible.

Below a summary of the safety rules.

Equipment

• Hard shell protective head covering must be worn by all competitors.
• Footwear that covers the whole foot must be worn by all competitors.
• Failure to wear protective head covering and footwear while negotiating a competition course will result in the maximum penalty for that round.
• Protective body equipment may be worn and is strongly recommended. This must be of the type that will not hinder the competitor’s parachute equipment or compromise safety.
• The maximum amount of extra weight is calculated in relation to the Competitors weight with all his/hers equipment in accordance with addendum E of the FAI/IPC CP competition rules 2006. Competitors failing to comply will receive the maximum penalty for that round. The competitors weight with equipment excluding extra weight will be determined at registration.
• Extra weight must have quick releases, not come loose by itself and must be acceptable to the Chief Judge.
  

Safety violations

• The first safety violation by a competitor will result in a yellow flag or card warning from the Chief Judge to that competitor. Yellow flags or cards will be issued for unsafe actions such as (but not limited to): Low turns or low approaches into the course, crowding or cutting off of lower jumper and erratic canopy control.
• A second safety violation, resulting in a second yellow flag or card, is the equivalent of the issue of a red flag or card.
• The issue of a red flag or card will result in the disqualification of the competitor, which eliminates the competitor from further jumping in the competition. A red flag or card can be issued without a prior yellow flag or card warning for any action that presents immediate danger to the competitor or others on the ground. Examples of this include low approaches over the crowd or flying the canopy in an uncontrolled manner into any person outside the course.
• Notwithstanding and in addition to the above, a competitor may be disqualified from any event, at any time, by the mutual agreement of the FAI Controller and the Chief Judge, if it is determined that the competitor is performing in an unsafe manner.
