> it's totally 'not cool' for experienced jumpers to ask for a gear check

Yeah, that mentality will get someone killed. Literally one of the first 3 things to do in any dropzone I've been in is a gear check, and I don't jump without it (duh?). I think it's an extremely reckless thing to suggest.

I am not at all condoning a behaviour, simply transmitting an observation.

Yeah, of course. Wish I could say the same for other comments.
