Frequently Asked Questions

Skydiving is actually one of the safest “extreme” sports. Ok, let’s be honest: it’s not bowling. You jump out of an airplane and fly at 200 km / h. But it is not Russian roulette either. You are better off with skydiving than with driving your car. That is a statistical fact. The risks are reduced with very good equipment and training.

Sun, sea and skydiving is our slogan. So lazing on the beach or working on your bronze is part of it. And there is plenty to do on our skydive holidays.

Fortunately, this is rare. If this happens then we have good contacts with other Skydive Centers to complete the course there.

Are you going to parachute with us then good insurance can not be missed. You are required to take out travel insurance that covers parachuting. We also advise you to take out accident insurance. This obligation, which Airboss states, serves exclusively to protect the participant.

Accelerated Freefall (AFF) is a modern, safe and successful free fall course with personal guidance. It is recognized worldwide. We jump 6 jumps at your side to teach you everything. In a few days you become an enthusiastic and safe skydiver.

It is about 15 to 20 degrees Celsius colder at a jumping height than on the ground. In general, you have little trouble with this, because when the door opens, most people are busier about things other than temperature.

The “Personal Declaration of Health and Fitness for the Practice of Sport Parachuting” allows students and novice parachutists to declare their own health status. This document remains valid for two years after signing.

Students are required to submit this personal declaration to Airboss.

Answering a question with “YES”

If you answer one or more questions with “YES”, you must undergo a medical examination by a recognized doctor or institution. The examining doctor will then complete the form “KNVvL Medical Declaration for Sport Parachuting”.

You can find both forms in the attachment of your booking confirmation or download them via the links above.

Completely normal! Everyone suffers from nerves, although each in his own way. The first jump is a jump in the big unknown, we call it the discovery jump, but as you make more jumps, the confidence increases and the nerves decrease.

Formation Skydiving is a discipline in which you learn to jump with other skydivers.

No problem. You can jump as much as you want.

You make at least 2 jumps per day. More jumps is possible and happens regularly.

That can go fast. In good weather conditions you are ready in 4 to 5 days.

No doubt! Height fear is related to having contact with the earth. In the plane, in free fall or flying under the parachute you will not be bothered by that. Anyone who has jumped will confirm this story to you.
