Of all the adventure sports that we can offer you, skydiving is one of the more exciting, as it allows you to experience a sensation of vertigo accompanied by a continuous release. Being able to fly like a bird and enjoy incredible landscapes is not something you experience every day.
Atandem jump is an ideal option to enjoy nature in a different way than usual, so you can forget what many people think, associating a day outdoors with a picnic in half of the field. This activity has nothing to do with it, since here you will find how to release adrenaline and how to say goodbye to stress. You have to know that you cannot practice skydiving in all parts of Spain, so we recommend that you take a look at the best areas to do it.


Tandem parachute jump

But before jumping into the void you must take into account unquestionable principles, such as always going hand in hand with a professional. Make sure the instructor you jump with is qualified for such a stunt, otherwise it could be dangerous. Once you have found a reliable and quality skydiving company it is time to hire the activity and jump with them.

The material you will have is as simple as it is necessary and will generally be provided to you by the skydiving company. Take note:

  • Parachute. It is without a doubt the fundamental element. There should be two, one main and one reserve or emergency attached to the harness. In turn, it has various components:
  • Containers. They house both parachutes.
  • Harness. Hold the pilot and the bands that join the person and the containers emerge from him.
  • Main and reserve bell. They correspond to the main and reserve parachutes respectively.
  • Release pad. In case of emergency, separate the parachutist from his main canopy.

  • Opening and reserve ring. The first opens the main parachute and is located in a pocket at the end of the container. It will be in charge of pulling she the main pilot. The reserve's mission is to open the emergency parachute in case it has to be used and is located on the opposite side of the main one.
  • Extractor pilot. When the ring is pulled, this device comes out and with the air the main parachute container opens.
  • Automatic opening system. If the speed is excessive with respect to the height, the reserve parachute will open automatically.
  • Controls. With them the pilot will be able to operate the bell once it is open.
  • Altimeter. It indicates, as its name indicates, the height at which we are and you can find it in two types: visual or sound.
  • Helmet. Any protection is insufficient!
  • Glasses. They will help you keep your eyes open, because without them due to the pressure of the fall, it would be impossible.
  • Gloves.
  • Jumping suit with restraint harness. Remember to wear comfortable clothing under it, as well as footwear that protects you for landing.


Material for skydiving equipment

All this material is necessary, as it allows the activity to develop completely normally and you will be able to enjoy the tandem jump as it should. We also suggest that you take a skydiving course and you will be able to repeat the practice as many times as you want.

Lastly, we recommend that you watch the complete sequence of a parachute jump. Brutal, right?
