Question 6

Why Ground Control?

Accepted Answer

The figure of the Ground Control in these years has represented a communication center and a reference presence for information on the jumping sites and of any other type concerning the valley!

* The GC is an intermediary between:
* the local community and the sport,
*  the dedicated shuttle services, and the local authorities. 
* It is a supervisor and arbiter of the safety of the jumps, both for practitioners and for citizens, as it controls the activity and reports any dangerous behavior above the inhabited center that can compromise the access to the mountain 
* It is a point of reference for 112 and the rescue teams (ambulance, firefighters, police and especially mountain rescue) in case of intervention
