Yikes!  Who gave you that sort of nonsense misinformation?

The safety record of AFF is extremely good, and as a training method it
seems to work quite well.  I've never heard of it being outlawed anywhere
(except perhaps Britain, but then again don't they still require first
jumps to be made with rounds there?).  Having gone through it myself
1.5 years ago, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
