But let's not act brave, we all have doubts before skydiving and here we present (and of course, answer) some of the most frequent questions that every brave skydiver asks:
- What is the minimum height from which I can skydive?
- Can I skydive alone?
- How long does free fall last in a parachute jump?
- At what height does the parachute open?
- How long does a parachute jump take?
- Do I receive any training prior to skydiving?
- Is it safe to skydive?
1. Parachute jumps are between 2,700 and 5,000 meters above ground level. At a higher altitude oxygen would be needed and at a lower altitude there would not be enough distance for the parachute to open safely.
2. Unless you have a course that certifies that you have passed the technical and practical training, you cannot jump alone with a parachute .
3. Since you jump out of the plane in fall freebetween 30 and 60 minutes pass until the parachute opens. From that moment until reaching dry land, about 5-10 minutes pass.
4. The parachute opens at about 1,500 meters above the ground.
5. The total duration of a parachute jump is between 15-20 minutes in total, counting the plane flight to the exact altitude, the free fall that takes approximately one minute and the flight already glides with the parachute open for about 5-10 minutes.
6.Before the tandem parachute jump, the pilot in charge of your jump will tell you everything you need to know to fully enjoy your jump, from what you should wear before jumping to the entire process that will take place until landing.
7. Far from believing otherwise... skydiving is extremely safe! Tandem jumps are always performed by the best experts, with hundreds of hours of flight behind them and countless jumps, alone and accompanied, by parachute. They are people specifically trained for this, who know perfectly the equipment they carry and all the situations that can arise during the jump. You just have to enjoy"
