If you are looking to do something you never thought you would, then make tandem skydiving the high point of your vacation - it is a great way to release all your inhibitions and follow the call of adventure. It is also considerably one of the safest ways to skydive, especially for a first-time skydiver. Still, tandem skydiving is not without risks. After all, you are still jumping from a height of 12,000 feet at a cool 120 miles per hour. If you plan to tandem skydive while on vacation, consider getting sports travel insurance. This should lessen your worries and let you truly enjoy an unforgettable jump.
In tandem skydiving, you are strapped and connected to a jumpmaster - an experienced and licensed skydiver - who controls the entire jump from exit, to freefall, piloting the canopy, and all the way to landing. You, the student, need only minimal instructions and preparation time when tandem skydiving - usually just under an hour. Your safety in tandem skydiving can depend greatly upon the jumpmaster; thus it is important to get a well-experienced, well-trained, licensed, and professional jumpmaster.
Dangers in tandem skydiving often result from mistakes in judgments and procedures. Changing wind conditions can lead to downdrafts and crosswind or downwind landing. Tangling to the parachute is another possibility. These dangers may result to anywhere from bruises, strains and broken bones to concussions and spinal injuries. Health concerns can also limit your ability to tandem skydive. Overweight, heart conditions, and respiratory problems can cause indirect health problems.
Tandem skydive is considered a Grade 3 risk sport, with a high chance of injury. It is recommended that you secure sports travel insurance beforehand.
