How safe is skydiving?

Like rock-climbing, bungee jumping or skiing, skydiving is considered to be a high risk sport. Your safety throughout the jump is our top priority. The airplanes you fly in are closely monitored and inspected. The equipment you use undergoes regular maintenance and is equipped with two automatic activation devices. Even with the many precautions taken, there are inherent risks in skydiving that may lead to serious injury or death.


How can I prepare myself for my first jump?

Be well rested with a good night's sleep. Whether you take the Tandem or Solo First Jump Course, your day will be filled with learning new skills which require your focus.

EAT BREAKFAST!! The duration of the day is from 8:00 am - sunset. During the summer this makes for 12 hour days. Ensure that your body starts the day with strength and proper nutrition.

Which course is for me? Should I take the Solo First Jump Course or Tandem Skydive?

Here are some helpful hints to assist in your decision making process: Take a look at activities that you have enjoyed and experienced previously. Are you very independent and enjoy relying on your own skills? Do you like the idea of having an experienced instructor with you throughout the skydive? Do you foresee yourself continuing on to make your first solo freefall jump? Will you be participating with a large group of friends?

Many people would like to rely on themselves and the skills taught throughout the day, so they will choose the Solo First Jump Course. Those looking for freefall, a relaxing ride and less training often choose the Tandem Skydive. You know yourself best!

Skydive Toronto Inc. does offer a discount if you would like to experience both methods of skydiving. Please call our office for details at 1-800-668-5867 or 705-424-5593.

What does the landing feel like?

The modern 'square' parachute acts like the wing of an airplane. It is very maneuverable, and provides lift. For landing, the suspended jumper flares the chute to slow down the canopy's forward speed and to create extra lift. The landing may feel like jumping off the top of a picnic table, often allowing the student to land standing up on their feet.

How many jumps must I make before I am able to freefall on my own?

With either form of training, the Student must be able to perform a training ripcord pull prior to progressing to solo freefall.  This is usually accomplished in 4-6 skydives. It is best for a Student to stay current by jumping as regularly as possible. It is possible to make your first solo freefall skydive on the same weekend as your first jump.

What if my parachute doesn't open?

On a solo jump, you will learn the procedure to activate your reserve parachute. During a tandem skydive, the Tandem Master will handle the emergency procedures for you.
