 First Jump Requirements

 

With the advent of state-of-the-art equipment, practically anyone can make a skydive today as long as they are active and in good health. If for any reason you are worried about any physical condition that may preclude you from making a safe skydive, check with your physician.

If you weigh more than 220 lbs, an additional fee may be required for you to make your jump due to extra work involved and special equipment needed. The MAXIMUM combined weight limit of student, instructor and gear is 500 lbs. It is up to each individual instructor as to whether or not they will take you depending on your stats, and depending on the type of first jump you do. If you have any questions about your height or weight please email us at saratogaskydiving@gmail.com or give us a call at (518) 895-8140.

Age Requirements

Things To Consider

We cannot control the weather, and there are many other factors which may delay your scheduled jump. Please plan on spending the entire day with us.

Please wear comfortable clothing, and bring a sweatshirt (no hoods).

No boots with lace hooks, and no sandals or flip flops.  For footware, sneakers are preferred.

A jumpsuit will be provided, as well as all other necessary equipment.

The Jump
Skydiving is a high-speed sport for people who are in good physical condition, and are ready to have the time of their lives! The jump itself will be the best time you'll have with your clothes on and something you'll never forget. Please eat lightly and drink fluids on hot days. If you get air sick or car sick It may be a good idea to take some "Bonine" (our recommendation) first. Second choice is Dramamine.

We currently offer Tandem and Static Line trainging programs.
