Wichita Tandem Skydiving Jump

Tandem jumping entered sport parachuting in the mid-1980’s. Prior to that time, the only way to make a skydive was to jump alone the very first time. With the advent of tandem, it has become possible to train and jump with a highly experienced instructor on your first skydive. When you make your tandem jump, you will be attached with a specially trained and rated skydiver called a “tandem instructor”. Your tandem instructor will wear a parachute system that has double-sized main and reserve parachutes designed to safely support both you and him. Since your tandem instructor is there to handle the skydive, the instruction required before your first tandem jump takes only fifteen minutes of your time, as opposed to the four to five hours necessary for our solo first jump program.
