点评:I had a terrible experience with Johannesburg Skydiving Club, more specifically with Bryan Pather aka "Glimmer". My appointment for tandem skydiving was booked for 15 March 2025, payment was made in full and it was also confirmed as such, as well as the date was confirmed. Upon our arrival there is no movement at Johannesburg Skydiving Club, the gate is closed, I call 21 (twenty one times) times, send whatsapp messages, even an sms, but nothing is answered. My son calls the exact same phone number and it is then answered by Glimmer with a curt answer that the club is closed due to weather (what weather? There were clouds, but it was not completely cloudy). In the meantime, my colleague also calls Glimmer and he answers the phone again, but all 21 times I called, he has not answered the phone once... This undoubtedly creates the impression of a scam.
Glimmer, who glitters in his absence,'s wife calls me the next afternoon with the excuse that they didn't know they had an appointment and that I just need to send my proof of payment again, even though I received an email with my booking number. Couldn't they just follow up on their own emails?
If Glimmer, who glitters in his absence, is not even qualified to answer a phone and neither Glitter nor his wife is even aware of an appointment (which was paid in full), how can one trust them with your life?
Fortunately for the club, the previous chairman was able to come to the aid of Glimmer's incompetence.
The problem therefore does not lie with the club, but rather with the current chairman's incompetence.
翻译:我在约翰内斯堡跳伞俱乐部的经历很糟糕,更具体地说是 Bryan Pather 又名“Glimmer”。我的双人跳伞预约时间是 2025 年 3 月 15 日,我已全额付款,并确认了付款和日期。我们到达时,约翰内斯堡跳伞俱乐部没有任何动静,大门关闭,我打了 21 次电话(二十一次),发送了 WhatsApp 消息,甚至发了短信,但无人接听。我儿子拨打了同一个电话号码,Glimmer 简短地回答说俱乐部因天气原因关闭(什么天气?有云,但不是完全多云)。与此同时,我的同事也打电话给 Glimmer,他再次接了电话,但我打了 21 次电话,他一次也没接……这无疑给人留下了骗局的印象。
第二天下午,在 Glimmer 不在场时闪闪发光的妻子打电话给我,借口说他们不知道他们有预约,我只需要再次发送付款证明,尽管我收到了一封包含我的预订号的电子邮件。他们不能直接跟进他们自己的电子邮件吗?
如果在 Glimmer 不在场时闪闪发光的妻子甚至没有资格接电话,而且 Glimmer 和他的妻子都不知道有预约(已全额付款),你如何能把你的生命托付给他们?
对俱乐部来说幸运的是,前任主席能够帮助 Glimmer 弥补他的无能。
因此,问题不在于俱乐部,而在于现任主席的无能。
