FAQs
-
There is no deadline, places will depend on availability at your chosen airfield. However, you will need to allow sufficient time to get fundraising!
-
The weight limits for men and women can vary between our airfields – you can click here to see the limits at each airfield. Just click on your selected location to see the details.
For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16 – however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked. Some airfields also have an upper age limit.
-
Skydiving is a weather dependent activity this means there is a chance you may have to wait all day for the right weather conditions and then not be able to jump. The airfield will try their best to make sure you can jump on the day!

Check out Skylines a day in a life of a skydiver article to see what you’ll be doing on the day. They also have more information on their FAQs page.

All of our jumpers will have needed to raise the £430 minimum sponsorship by 24th May. This is so The Charity are able to cover the cost of your skydive (usually around £200). This allows for the rest of your hard-earned fundraising to go towards beating brain tumours. If you are unable to reach the minimum fundraising you will have to cover the cost of the skydive on the day. However, we will support you through your fundraising journey.
