Tandem skydiving has a very low rate of injury, with the most common issue being skydiving students feeling a bit sick or faint. Injuries are possible in any sport, you will be shown in training how to minimise this risk. If you have any questions at all, just ask.
If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or have had any surgery you will need approval from a doctor prior to jumping, and may be assessed prior to training/jumping.

The minimum age to skydive in the UK is 16. Under 18’s MUST have a parent or legal guardian to co-sign their forms, this can be done on the day or in advance.

Skydiving is weather dependent and there’s always the chance that skydivers will have to wait a while, or even come back another day.
All our skydives are non refundable, but there is no charge or penalty to reschedule due to weather. We do ask that skydivers are prepared to turn up and wait for suitable conditions, as forecasts aren’t always accurate.
