On Saturday, Dr Ng said the SAF wanted to see whether there were structural issues which increased risk, and it had gone through a lot of data like wind speeds on the day of performances.
He said one of the current conditions is that jumps are cancelled should clouds prevent jumpers from seeing the landing site. He added:"Obviously we take these risks very seriously. We know the Red Lions are a favourite of NDP spectators and we want to do it safely." During the event, he announced new initiatives to help residents of the Bishan-Toa Payoh and Marymount areas.
agree with LeoC75987899, pretty sure govt would have done all the prep and checks beforehand. as with all surgeries, there would be some level of risks which varies based on the type of surgery, but that doesn't mean everything shld not be done right? need to have a balance.
Very sure all the assessments had been done before. It is whether we want to minimise the risks further, or else. With a restricted/limited place/area for landing vs bigger area (sure less risk) to parachuters, where windy or gusty wind condition is expected?
SAF has just ONE mission…: the NDP. And it still fails.
He fell hard on the floor. There assessments done, I've saved you some money, your welcome.

Your Say: Learn from the SAF in managing workplace accidentsI read with disappointment the latest news of yet another worker dying as a result of a workplace accident, the 32nd workplace fatality in Singapore. Constructions are different from SAF and safe practices are so very different as well. Perhaps a closest industry construction can learn from is the oil and gas. The latter being having to manage high risk an consequence activities means that they must be doing something right.
