Safety is fundamental

As we all know, skydiving is an extreme sport which involves obvious risks. We jump out of an aircraft at a certain height, free falling until we open a parachute which allows us to land softly.

To not only have a soft but also a very safe landing we control the direction and speed of the flight with the parachute steering lines.

It is important to consider certain safety measures and conditions to avoid any problems:

  • Weather conditions must be suitable. Keep in mind that if the weather is not favourable, it is likely that the jump will have to be cancelled and postponed to another date.
  • Make sure you don’t have any health conditions that would put you at risk when skydiving.
  • Instructors do a thorough equipment check before each jump.
  • Skydiving under the influence of alcohol or any other substance is forbidden.
  • It is important to listen to your instructor and follow their instructions at all times.

Recommendations for your first tandem skydive

Now that you know some of the main safety precautions to take into account when skydiving, here is a step-by-step checklist on how to go skydiving for the first time.
