As a student jumper I was wondering about the differences in instruction
methods and techniques used in first jump classes. My first jump was made
out of a Cessna standing on a footpad using a 'jumping jack' style exit.
Since then I've moved to Seattle, where the student style is 
'hang from the wing strut then just let go'.
Other than the added initial stability the hanging position gives beginners,
are there significant advantages or disadvantages to using one or the other?
I've been told to use whichever I prefer.

(Can we keep this group alive?)
