Who has the right-of-way under canopy?

The jumper with the highest altitude
The jumper who is landing first
The lower jumper
The jumper who is more experienced

The correct answer is: The lower jumper

The jumper who is at a lower altitude has the right-of-way under canopy. This rule is critical for ensuring safety during landing approaches. Since a lower jumper is generally closer to the ground and will touch down before others, it is essential that they have priority to land without interference from jumpers above them. Higher jumpers must take care to yield the right of way to those below. This system helps to prevent collisions and promotes safe landing patterns. Factors such as who is landing first or the level of experience do not affect right-of-way rules; the focus is purely on altitude relative to other jumpers in the canopy. By adhering to this guideline, skydivers minimize the risks associated with busy landing zones.
