Ever wanted to try skydiving? Now’s your chance with Moonjumper’s tandem skydive. Using a dual harness, the student exits the aircraft at 10,000ft attached to the instructor. You freefall for 7000ft at which point the instructor opens the canopy and steers you both to the ground. All parachutes have a reserve parachute which means that if one does not work, the other one does. These are inspected and repacked every 6 months by a BPA qualified instructor whether they have been used or not. The reserved parachute seldom has to be used because of the high technology nowadays of the main parachute.
What if you’re afraid of heights?
Moonjumper International was founded in February 2001. Operating throughout mainland UK and Ireland, volunteers are asked to pay a £40 commitment fee payable to Moonjumper, then raise a minimum of £380 per person (not to include the £40 commitment fee) by donation from sponsors from work, family, friends,and social gatherings. The course fee is deducted from the amount and all the remaining monies will benefit the chosen charity fund. Skydiving will be an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.
