Frequently Asked Questions

About Skydiving

Are there any age limitations?

You must be at least 18 years of age to skydive in the United States. Some states require participants to be at least 19. Contact a Soaring Sports representative for details.

What will the skydive feel like?

The sensation of freefall is more like flying than falling. The freefall portion of your skydive is exhilarating, and the parachute ride is very quiet and beautiful. Many describe their skydive as the greatest thing that has ever happened to them.

If riding in an airplane is flying,
then riding in a boat is swimming.
If you want to experience the element,
then get out of the vehicle.

Soaring Sports Skydiving FAQ
What happens if the parachute doesn't open?

In the very unlikely event that the main parachute doesn't open properly, there is a reserve parachute in the top of the container which has been inspected and packed by a FAA certified parachute rigger. All of our reserve parachutes are equipped with the most reliable and modern AAD's (Automatic Activation Device) available. This device will deploy the reserve parachute if the main parachute is not opened.

What is your safety record?

Soaring Sports has a PERFECT safety record due to our dedication to providing only state of the art equipment and training for our instructors.

Isn't the landing like jumping off a two-story building?

The landing is easy. In the early days of sport parachuting, landings were sometimes quite hard. The new "ram-air" parachutes of today allow landings that are softer than jumping off of a chair.

How long will it take to make my first jump?

For a tandem skydive, plan on at least 2 hours.
An AFF level 1 skydive plan to spend the entire day with us.

Can I get pictures of my skydive?

Yes, Video and 35 mm stills are available at an additional charge.
