FAQ

Please email or call if you have any questions that are not listed below.

Do you allow pets?
Unfortunately our insurance does not permit us to allow pets on the business property.  We love your pets as much as you do, but they must stay home.

If I am under 18, can I jump with my parents permission?
Unfortunately, no. In order to skydive, you must sign a legal waiver and must be of legal age to sign the document. Under most state laws, parents cannot sign away the rights of a minor. 

Can we get one tandem video of both me and my friend? 
For the safety of all jumpers involved, only one video is allowed per person.   The camera flyer must focus all of his attention on the tandem in front of him, so each tandem must have a separate camera flyer.

What should I wear to skydive?
Dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable lace-up shoes.  Tennis shoes work best.  We will provide you a jump suit to protect your clothes from grass stains.

What if the weather is bad?
We will make every effort to get you in the air on your scheduled day.  However, your safety is our primary concern.  We cannot jump through clouds or if the winds are too high.  If the weather does not cooperate on the day of your skydive, we will reschedule your skydive for the next available day.

Do you have a weight limit? 
For tandem students the weight limit is 230 pounds.  The equipment manufacturer’s establish weight limits for the equipment.  This limit is the combined weight of you and your instructor and all the equipment you will be wearing.

How safe is skydiving?
Fly Free Skydiving is a group member of the United States Parachute Association and strictly adheres to their safety standards.  Skydiving is an extreme sport, but with proper training and the right equipment, it is a very safe sport.  Every parachute system has a main parachute and a reserve parachute.  All of our student rigs have an Automatic Activation Device (AAD) that serves as a safety backup device.  When you skydive with Fly Free Skydiving, you will not jump until you have been properly trained to arrive safely back on the ground.

I bought a gift certificate online.  Will you honor it?
Only if you bought the gift certificate directly from us.  There are many companies on the internet offering a network of skydiving locations.  No such network exists.  Before you purchase a skydiving certificate online, be sure you have a physical address of the location for the place you want to jump.  Also, get a local phone number for the drop zone and call them to verify that they will accept the certificate.  Don’t get taken for a “sky-ride.”
