Thank you to the crew at the charity for saving my life, with their quick thinking and performance – in what must have been a very high-pressure situation. I was written off all the way but the decisions they made have given me more time with my family and children.

We’ll give you simple, proven fundraising ideas and support to help you reach your goal.
A Tandem skydive lets you experience free fall without the need for lots of training. You will free fall normally from at least 10,000 feet with the parachute being opened at 5,000 feet. You then get to float down the last mile with your instructor to a soft landing. This is the perfect experience for your first-time jump as you are attached to an instructor who does all of the work for you. This leaves you free to enjoy the view!
The airfield will look at each case individually, so please email Skyline Events at info@skylineevents.co.uk and they can check for you. With any medical condition- you will also need to have the medical form signed by a doctor.
For weight restrictions we have a lower limit of 13 stone for females but can take up to 15 stone with a risk assessment.
For males we have a lower limit of 15 stone but can take up to 17 stone with a risk assessment
For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16 – however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked.
