Parachuting is one of the most exciting sports you can participate in. You will experience nothing like the very intense tension that builds up as the aircraft ascends to the drop zone. Flying feels unnatural to some, jumping out of a aircraft is a double dose of 'what, why?'. Fortunately you've been drilled on the ground over and over, its fresh in your mind so you can follow the script instinctively.

When its time to jump, you'll move into position and make that final commit. You'll never forget that moment or the first few seconds as you freefall before your chute fills and you feel the jerk of your harness. A quick look up to check your chute is in good shape is followed by a heartfelt thanks to a chosen deity, then WOW.... as you take in the view! Parchute jumping is highly accessible to pretty much everyone, even people normally scared of heights can and do manage to jump very easily. The staff and training you receive at any recognised skydiving centre will fill you with the confidence and the basic training needed to safely make your jump. A parachute jump creates an indelible memory and is well worth the relatively small cost involved.

  • Parachute Jumping Quick-Facts

    • The minimum age for jumping out of airplanes is 16. The maximum age is 55 for solo jumping or much older for tandem jumps and you do need to be relatively fit and healthy.
    • Terminal velocity, the maximum speed a skydiver reaches is 122 mph in the typical belly down position. Pull your arms and legs straight and go head first and you could reach speeds in excess of 200mph.
    • The inventor of the parachute (excluding Da Vinci who sketched inventions of most things) was a Frenchman named Lenormand, who jumped from a tower in 1783.

  • "amazing, the instructors were first class. going for my second jump next week. "
