As seasoned skydiving professionals with years of guiding first-timers through thrilling jumps, we know the excitement of taking the plunge. Extreme sports demand strict safety protocols, and skydiving is no exception. Here's a breakdown of the key conditions we enforce to ensure a safe, unforgettable experience.
This is one of the most common questions from aspiring jumpers: Is there a weight limit? Yes, and it's set by the dropzone for safety. Typically, the maximum weight for skydiving is around 90 kg for tandem jumps, factoring in your instructor and the parachute system. Limits can vary slightly, so confirm directly with your skydiving center.
Great news for adventure seekers of all ages—there's no upper age limit if you're in good health. We've seen fit adventurers skydive at 90 years old and beyond. The minimum age is 15 years for tandem jumps, requiring parental presence or signed authorization.
Safety first: We never jump in poor weather. Planes won't take off if winds exceed about 40 km/h, clouds are too low to spot the exit, or it's raining. These conditions protect everyone involved and let you focus on the rush without added risks. Common newbie worries—like keeping eyes open, jumping with vertigo, or breathing normally—are all normal and easily addressed by your instructor.
