Tandem jump is a unique opportunity to try a free fall without being obliged to go through the training.
Tandem jump used to be a privilege of army, when transporting un-trained people to the specific place, for example doctors. In a short time the tandem became very popular among citizens as well. The main advantage for a client is, that s(he) does not need to pass any training and the requirements are minimal. In a nutshell, the client’s only concern is enjoying the beautiful moment.
The preparation for the tandem jump does not take more than 10 minutes. Basic instructions are explained to the client and (s)he is ready to go… At this moment a specially trained instructor takes care of everything, from leaving the airplane until a safe landing on the ground.
The height of jump is 4000 m, that gives you 50 seconds of free fall. Even though it might seem short, it is enough time to enjoy this magical feeling, when only limits are the horizon and sky above the head. Instructor opens a parachute in altitude 1800 m and lands safely with the client back on the ground.
Tandem parachute is specially adjusted for 2 people. Every parachute has main and back-up parachute with a special safeguard machine, because the safety has the highest priority. This machine will open the parachute automatically in altitude 700 m above the ground in case, if the instructor fails. This machine is mandatory as well as an altimeter with acoustic altitude signalization, which informs the instructor about incoming height to open the parachute.
Plenty of tandem companies are offering an audio-visual documentation of the whole jump, from preparation until landing. An experienced cameraman-skydiver is recording the client with digital camera during the whole process and makes a video out of this, with cool music in the background, or prepares some photos. In a few days time a post will deliver this digital memory right to the clients door step. It is a nice memory, of a big adrenalin decision.
