Tandem Skydiving !!!
Tandem Skydiving is definitely the easiest and fastest way the fascination of Skydiving.
Tandem Jumping technique was first intended to educational purpose, but it has turned now into a discipline by itself, thanks to the progress in both the equipment and in the safety features, making possible for young and not so young anymore to perform without any problem a free fall parachute jump.
Tandem Jump has been for many of us, the first step into Sport Parachuting.
A medical certificate is not needed provided you are in a general good health. Heart disease or epilepsy are however reasons for exclusion. Moreover, for safety reasons we limit the weight of the Tandem candidates to 95 kg (210 lbs.)
For Tandem jumping, we use specially designed parachuting equipment, made of two over-sized parachutes (one main parachute and one reserve) together with a passenger harness t attach you firmly to your Instructor. After a short briefing on the ground, The Tandem Master takes his passenger to the jump altitude and will carry him for an almost one minute long free fall, until reaching the altitude of 1.500 (5.000 ft) and opening the main parachute.
After a few minutes of flight under your brightly colored steerable square parachute, you will gently land in front of your friend right on the Airfield.
Important Notice : All our tandem gears are equipped with a safety device, with microprocessor, fruit of the most recent technology. If needed, i.e. when the descending speed overpasses, at a preset altitude, acceptable limits, this device activates automatically the reserve parachute.
Sport outfit and shoes (sneakers) are just necessary as we supply the necessary equipment: jumpsuit and jump goggles.
