A shocking 28 deaths have occurred at the Lodi Parachute Center since its opening in 1985, raising serious concerns about skydiving safety.
Instructor Robert Pooley, convicted for fraudulently training instructors, ran unauthorized tandem skydiving courses and falsely claimed to be a tandem examiner.
Pooley trained over 100 instructors using falsified credentials, despite having his own instructor certification suspended in 2015, putting many lives at risk.
The Lodi Parachute Center’s history of 28 fatalities from 1985 to 2021 highlights systemic issues in skydiving oversight and lacks adequate safety statistics.
