In reality, most new jumpers will ask for a gear check for the first few jumps after finishing the training and then stop.
There really isn't a need for a checklist, it isn't hard to remember what to check. The problem is that people are either too lazy, too embarrassed, too complacent, or just too stupid to do the checks (and practice emergency procedures).
Recently, at 10,000 feet up (on the way to 13,000) I asked a 15 jump beginner in a friendly way if she was going to check her handles and practice emergency procedures. She answered that she already did. I sat behind her and watched all the way up, and she had not done these things in the plane which is common safety procedure. I then said, no, I mean in the plane. She ignored me and then went on to jump without checking anything. This is actually pretty common. People don't like to be told what to do.
