How much do I need to fundraise?
To take on a charity skydive, you’ll need to pay a registration fee and raise at least £395 in sponsorship. Our team is available to offer advice on meeting your target, and support you with your fundraising every step of the way.
Can we take part as a group?
Absolutely! The more, the merrier. Once you have your location and date, sign up everyone else with Skyline. Then, let both Skyline and us know how many people are in your team. You can create a JustGiving page as a group or individually.
What are the weight limits?
For tandem parachute jumps, the weight limit is typically around 15 stone but some airfields may have higher or lower limits. You can find the specific weight limits for each airfield in the FAQs.
Are there any medical restrictions?
The British Parachute Association (BPA) requires all participants to complete a medical form and bring this with them on the day of the jump. If you have any of the medical conditions listed on Form 115A, you’ll need to get Form 115B signed by a doctor. If you don’t have any of the listed conditions, you can self-sign Form 115A. If you have any questions about the forms, the Skyline team is available to help at 0207 424 5522 or via email at myskydive@skylineevents.co.uk.
