While it's still flying I'm not jumping out of it......

[slysi]

My softness has always wanted to do a tandem jump....good idea for an xmas pressie I then have bargaining power to start my lessons

[Big-D]

Very cool

Looks like great fun, dare I ask what the weight limit is for tandem jump?

Then again, wasn't there a movie "Operation Dumbo drop"

I am only 125kg Velocity?

[slysi]

Was wondering the same myself Big D

Oddball, you have now gone where many fear to go!! Well done but next time I would like to see you without the instructor strapped to your back.

I have done it quite a few times and stopped many years ago but can confirm that it is one of the most amazing sensations when you are free-falling through the blue.

As Velocity has said "WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE"

Just looked it up on the net....weight limit is 100kg

[C205]

For tandems, it depends on how much the tandem master weighs, so if you can find a really tiny one, you can jump weighing more than 100kg.
I'm sure V has enough contacts to find a tiny tandem master
The ones I know are all heavier than 100kg themselves

[RV4ker (RIP)]

he he he. Looks lekka.

I did AFF many moons ago when DZ was still at FAKD. Does this course still exist?

[RV4ker (RIP)]

do a few AFF jumps, what a rush.....
but after 10 jumps i decided to go back to landing on wheels

100%....

[velocity]

Slysi, Angel, Big D & all - as C205 says its officially 100kg but you can go a bit more if the total is within certain limits - also is the pax fit or overweight and probably unable to assist the tandem master in climb out, landing etc ? So if you're over 100kg then give me a shout or drink less beer or eat less Xmas pud for a while...

BTW Rustenburg Skydiving Club are having a little accuracy competition this weekend so if you're flying in the area, pop around the Club to check out this and sign up for a Tandem . Food & drink will also be on sale the whole weekend - I'm there from about midday Saturday after a couple of demos in Jhb
