Q. Are the any age limitations?
A. You must be 18 years old. There is no upper age limit as long as you are healthy.

Q. What if my parachute doesn't open?
A. By FAA regulation, all intentional parachute jumps must be made with a single harness, dual parachute system with both a main and a secondary, or reserve, parachute. Basically, if one doesn't work, you have another one. The reserve parachutes are inspected and repacked every 120 days by and FAA-certified rigger whether they've been used or not. Student main parachutes are packed by a rigger or are packed under direct supervision of a certified rigger. In addition, all students must use an AAC which will deploy if the student fails to activate either the main or reserve parachute.

Q. Can I breathe in freefall?
A. Yes, however the excitement may leave you breathless!
