What weather conditions prevent me from jumping?

Skydiving is very dependent on weather conditions. Strong wind, low cloud or rain can prevent us from jumping. These conditions may change very quickly so we need you to call us an hour before your allocated jump time to re-confirm that we are operational and on schedule.  

How long will the freefall last?

The first 1,000 feet will take approximately 10 seconds and then you will fall approximately 1,000 feet every 5 seconds. So a freefall from 10,000 feet will take 30 seconds.

200kph or 120mph
