Is there a height/weight limit for tandem jumps?
A. 200 pounds is our general weight limit but weather conditions sometimes allow for exceptions. Height is usually not an issue. There are two reasons for the weight restriction. First, the parachute has a weight limit so we must consider the combined weight of the instructor, passenger, and gear. Second, we want to provide our passengers with the softest of landings. The more weight we have under a parachute the faster the landing. On a very hot day with little to no wind we must be more cautious. Wind and cooler air help tremendously. Our goal is to offer fun and excitement but above all, see that nobody gets hurt.
