| How
Safe Is It? |
|
Skydiving
incidents on the whole are very rare (about 1 in every 80,000)
jumps. We go to great lengths to make your first skydive as safe as
possible. Due to the nature of the sport of skydiving, it would be
foolish to think that there are no inherent risks involved. (After
all, we are jumping out of airplanes). We have an excellent safety
record, and WE LOVE TO BRAG!!!! Call and ask about it.

Top
Equipment |
|
All
of our skydiving systems (rigs) are of the highest quality, and are
maintained by FAA certified parachute riggers. All of our rigs
contain a backup parachute which is thoroughly inspected and
repacked by an FAA certificated parachute rigger every 180 days
(even if it hasn't been used).

Each
of our student and tandem systems also contains a very modern
computerized device which is designed to automatically activate the
backup parachute at a predetermined altitude in the event that the
skydiver is unable to.
