SKYDIVE ZONE
Have you ever wanted to jump out of a
plane?
Well here's your chance to skydive for
free and raise money for Horse 4 Life at the same time!
Horse 4 Life has teamed up with Skydive
Zone, to offer this exciting opportunity.
Skydive Zone are a UK
based, full-time skydiving company that specialises in organising sponsored
jumps on behalf of more than 100 National Charities and non-profit
organisations.
You can choose from a tandem jump, static line jump or accelerated
freefall course, taking place in over 20 locations throughout the UK. (No experience is
required)
Minimum sponsorship
amounts:
o
Tandem Skydive £390
o
Static Line Parachute Jump £365
o
Accelerated Freefall Level 1 £565
As long as you raise
the minimum amount of sponsorship,
Horse 4 Life will receive at least £140, with the remaining
amount paying for your skydive/parachute jump and deposit (£70).
The Horse 4
Life events team will be on hand with advice and support on how to raise the
minimum amount (and more!) towards our vital work.
Choose from three
different kinds of jump:
1. Tandem Skydiving
After a very pleasant
flight climbing to an altitude of up to 13,500 feet, you will exit the aircraft
with your harness securely attached to your instructor, who will immediately
release a small parachute which effectively slows down your rate of descent.
After freefalling at
up to 120 mph for around 40 seconds, your instructor will open the parachute,
which is specially designed to carry the combined weights of two people.
This will occur at
5,500 feet, from which you will enjoy a comparatively slow drift down to earth
whilst taking in some spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. All
tandem instructors are highly qualified to British Parachute Association (BPA)
standards and are very experienced.
2. Static Line Parachuting
If you're the
adventurous type and prefer to jump independently, why not try the static line
option? A static line is a cord connecting your parachute to the aircraft,
which is designed to automatically open your parachute as you fall away from
the aircraft. You'll be given training on everything you need to know to make a
safe and exhilarating jump including the equipment used, how to exit the
aircraft and how to control your landing. On completion of your jump, you'll be
awarded an official British Parachute Association Static Line certificate.
3. Accelerated Freefall Skydiving (AFF)
If you would like to
take up skydiving as a sport, then an Accelerated Freefall (AFF) course could
be for you. As an introduction, you could try AFF level 1 with the option to
continue. You can complete the course in 8 levels, after which you'll be able
to go to 13,000 feet up on your own and jump!!
o The minimum age for anyone wishing to jump out of an
aeroplane in the UK
is 16. Anyone under 18 must have written
consent from a parent or guardian.
o Anyone that is 40 or over must have a medical form both
stamped and signed by a
medical doctor.
o Skydive Zone are the organisers of the parachute jumps and
receive a
flat fee per participant.
