Note: This event is now being arranged through Hinton Skydiving Centre, a world class facility near Brackley. We plan to send groups of 6 Spice Members on each date.
To get the full, freefall experience your very first
jump, and with as much safety as possible a Tandem Skydive is just the thing!
Several Following a short pre-jump briefing, you
will experience the thrill of freefall and even learn the basics of steering and
landing a modern 'square' gliding parachute, while securely attached to a highly
experienced Instructor. Tandem Skydives normally take place from 10,000 to
12,000 feet - and sometimes even higher! After exiting the aircraft - securely
attached to your Instructor! - you will freefall
until the Instructor opens the main parachute at about 5000 feet. You will spend
about 30 seconds in freefall (depending on the exit altitude) and reach a speed
of around 120 miles per hour! The descent under the large square parachute will
take several minutes, during which time you will help to steer it down to the
landing area. Don't forget to enjoy the view - you can see for miles on a clear
day!
On the day of your Skydive your Instructor will explain
in detail what you will have to do and what will take place during the flight
up, the freefall descent and the ride down under the parachute. After this, you
will be provided with a skydiver's jumpsuit to go over your clothes (you should
wear comfortable clothing, such as a track suit, and a pair of trainers). After
fitting the tandem parachute harness (and appropriate headgear and goggles) it
will take just 20 to 25 minutes on the way up in the aircraft - then it's out
into the blue!
PLEASE NOTE: Your weight
(fully clothed) must not exceed 15 stone (95kg) for a Tandem Skydive. You should
note that your skydive will take place on the date
booked only if weather permits - so please be prepared to be flexible!
We’ll send you details of the medical regulations.
If you are over 40, or suffer from any of the conditions that they list, a form will need signing by your GP.
