Good physical health is always a plus in any sport. You cannot jump within 48 hours of Scuba diving or within 24 hours after giving blood. If you are taking prescription drugs for an illness, you are required to have a doctors certificate stating that no adverse effects will result from making a parachute jump.
Over the years, we have introduced Tandem Jumping to paraplegics, quadriplegics and one of our instructors taught a blind person! We have had people over 80 years old. So bring your grandmother along, she might end up jumping too!
You must be at least 18 years old. There are special restrictions if you weigh more than 200 pounds.
You must be 18 years of age or older on the day of your jump and bring a valid government ID with you the day of your jump; no exceptions. This is a United States Parachute Association (USPA) requirement.
As you exit, a cushion of air created by the forward speed of the aircraft, supports your body as you accelerate to terminal velocity! There is no sudden drop feeling associated with freefall. It’s more like a floating sensation as you have no other objects to relate to except blue sky; get more info.
