Great Skydiving Tips for Beginners
Anyone that wants to skydive for the first time trying to became
an experienced skydiver have to first understand the basic rules
and all the risks that exist in skydiving. Doing it, the level
of risks in this sport will be greatly reduced.
Like all extreme sports, this one has an age restriction too,
set at 18 years. Not even a parent can't sign documents in order
for a minor to jump. 18 years or older, no exceptions here. In
order to be 100% sure that your landing will not bring up any
problems, you must weight not more than 250 pounds.
You need to be in good health even if skydiving is not very
demanding from this point of view. If you can pull your chute
line, you can skydive at it's best, and this was never a problem
for people.
Some teachers could let you do your first jump all alone if you
want. Usually you can make your first jump after 5 to 6 hours of
ground training. You can do your ground training and your first
jump in the same day.
You should never wear clothes that will limit your moves,
sandals or open toed shoes. You should always wear
clothes you
best feel in and running shoes. You can also bring with you
glasses or contacts, the goggles you will be provided with, will
fit over with no problem. Your skydiving jump will consist of 30
seconds of free fall and 30 second to land.
Most people feel the free falling like a great flying
experience.
Even if skydiving as a sport, envolves risks, if you are good
trained you can call skydiving a very safe sport because bad
injures and death are unlikely.
You will just have to learn learn and learn all you can about
this great extreme sport and you will do great. Discuss every
aspect of this sport with your friends, family or any other
experienced skydiver and you will grow in knowledge, you will
develop your skills and in the same time you will be more secure
of yourself.
