What is required when a jumper borrows unfamiliar parachute equipment?

Jump without transition training
Receive adequate transition training
Store the equipment properly
Check the equipment for damage

The correct answer is: Receive adequate transition training

When a jumper borrows unfamiliar parachute equipment, it is essential to receive adequate transition training. Transition training ensures that the jumper understands the specific characteristics and operation of the new equipment they will be using. This type of training covers the unique features, deployment procedures, and any differences in handling the parachute compared to what the jumper is accustomed to. It ultimately enhances safety and performance during the jump. While checking for damage and storing equipment properly are important practices in skydiving, they do not address the critical need for familiarity with the equipment and methods for its proper use. Jumping without transition training could lead to mishandling the parachute, which may result in accidents or malfunctions due to lack of familiarity with its operation. Therefore, transition training is a key component for ensuring that a jumper can safely and effectively utilize borrowed gear.
