The Rules of the Sky

It’s unfortunate but as much fun as skydiving it, there are rules here that still must be followed. Although you may be excited about gearing up and running for the nearest plane that can soar you into the skies, it’s important to get your head out of the clouds long enough to see that you are prepared. Here are a few simple tips that could save you headaches and hassles once you get to the site:

1.) It is usually required that skydivers are 18 years of age. This is for any type of skydiving, for most sites and can not generally use a parent’s signature as granted permission to skydive.

2.) Most sites have a weight limit, which is generally around 250 pounds, that should guests weigh over that, they will not be allowed to jump.

3.) Wear clothes that are comfortable and practical. While it may not seem like a huge deal to be sitting in the air with high-heels on, it will become a major problem upon landing. Remember that you are participating in a sport and should dress appropriately so.

4.) If you wear glasses or contacts, bring them along for your jump. You have to wear goggles anyway and so, you’re glasses will not only be kept safe but they will allow you to fully enjoy every beautiful moment!
