Best Answer

The important ones I can think of right now, especially for student skydivers are:

  • a thumbs up signal means to fall slower
  • a thumbs down signal means to fall faster
  • a hand signal representing a gun means to pull your rip cord right away.
  • if you hold your hand, palm up, with all but your middle and point fingers folded away (like a peace sign), and your middle and point fingers are against one-another and straight, means to straighten your legs.
  • if you hold your hand, palm up, with all but your middle and point fingers folded away (like a peace sign), and your middle and point fingers are against one-another and curved, means to bend your legs more.
  • if you hold your thumb and point finger together so that your thumb and point finger forms a circle, and your three remaining fingers almost showing the familiar three symbol, means everything is fine.
  • If you hold your hand palms up, and beckon a person closer with one hand, means to come closer
  • If you hold your hand, palm down, and beckon a person further away, means to move away.
  • If you hold a peace sign, palm up, but bring your middle finger and point finger closer to one another, it means to close your legs.

Absolutely not. Before flashing lights were put on cars, hand signals were all that was available to indicate a turn.
