How do you market a skydiving business?
To market a skydiving business, focus on creating a strong online presence through an engaging website and active social media channels showcasing thrilling videos and testimonials. Leverage local partnerships with adventure tourism companies and hotels for cross-promotions. Additionally, offer special packages, discounts, or referral programs to attract first-time jumpers and encourage word-of-mouth marketing. Hosting events or experiential promotions can also draw attention and create memorable experiences for potential customers.
What is the probability of your parachute failing?
It depends on how well you pack it, how good a condition it is in, and on how correctly you use it.
In practice, the probability is very low. About one in every 100,000 jumps in the US results in a fatality, a probability of about 0.00001, but that's not just due to parachute failure. One unconfirmed estimate is that one in a thousand (0.001) main chute deployments result in a malfunction, but it is true that very few of those result in a fatality, primarily because there is a reserve chute that is maintained and packed under different, more stringent, requirements.
The speed at which you fall varies depending on your body position in freefall, your size, your weight and what type of clothing you are wearing.
For instance, the biggest discipline is formation skydiving. This averages around 120mph in a belly to earth body position. Generally, slick nylon type jumpsuits are worn which reduce the drag. In the discipline of freefly, skydivers freefall in a head-up or head-down position. This means they have less drag and therefore fall faster, typically around the 150mph mark.
What stops you continuing to freefall faster and faster is the drag of the air against your body. The higher you jump from, the faster you will fall, but this is not particularly noticable from an average skydiving height of 13,000ft. If you were to triple the altitude, you could expect to noice a dramatic increase in your terminal velocity.
At Skydive Hibaldstow where I jump, it hosts another discipline, speed skydiving. The idea is get the fastest average over a measured vertical kilometer. Winning speeds at the UK Nationals 2010 were around 265mph average.
How does skydiving affect ear pressure?
I did an AFF skydive for my first skydive did I make the right decision?
You made a great choice. Weather it is right for you or not is up to you.
AFF is a great way to learn to skydive. Two highly trained instructors take you on the first few jumps in order to provide on the spot freefall instruction. Once you are a little more comfortable in the air, you will be able to jump with just one instructor until finishing the student levels.
AFF course provides all the skills needed to be a skilled and safe skydiver.
Have a great time!
How does AFF relate in terms of sky diving?
AFF stands for accelerated free fall. AFF is one sky diving training method. If you choose AFF as your sky diving training method, you can be cleared sooner for solo sky diving than if you choose other sky diving training methods.
Tandem skydiving in Southern California costs around $200. It's a little more expensive if you get video of your jump BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Especially if you don't jump often, the video is a great way to memorialize your skydiving experience!
When you pull a cord on parachute do you go back up?
You do go up, relative to the cameraman, but you never actually gain altitude. When the parachute opens you accelerate upwards and you fell exactly the same as if you were accelerated upwards from rest.
In most places they can, although there is usually a weight limit. You must also have your legal guardian sign the consent form if you are not 18 years old
Is tandem skydiving safe for seniors?
Tandem skydiving is quite safe for seniors since there is no upper limit required for skydiving programs instituted by the U.S. government.

How much does parachuting cost?
Parachuting is a part of skydiving and most people do a Tandem Skydiving Course for their first jump. This costs around £240 in the UK. The highest altitude of 15000ft can be found at Skydive Hibaldstow which is near to Leeds, Sheffield and Hull. This gives you a freefall time of around a minute and is a great introduction to the sport.
What is the skydiver acceleration?
Upon leaving the aircraft, a skydiver rapidly reaches something called terminal velocity. This is where the resistance of the air matches the mass of the skydiver. At this speed, the skydiver maintains a relatively constant speed. Typically this is around 120mph in a flat body position and takes approximately 10 seconds to reach.

Who are some famous people in the history of parachuting?
Sebastien Lenormand is credited with the creation of the parachute in 1783. However, Leonardo Da Vinci had sketched ideas for ones much earlier.
What are some good songs for a skydiving DVD?
If you want to go cliche, you could use Learning to Fly, or Freefalling, both by Tom Petty. Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf is good, and so is Sky, by Ra.
Why drag is important to skydivers?
A round parachute operates as an aerodynamic decelerator. The theory is to put out enough surface area that the resulting drag results in a fall rate that is survivable and that the jumper can walk away.
With rectangular parachutes, or ram air, the parachute is more akin to a glider. The parachute is a wing creating lift, so gravity powers it through the air, and drag keeps it from accelerating infinitely.
Is there anywhere to base jump in New England ive already gone sky diving?

Who can you talk to in order to begin training in gliding suit cliff jumping?
If you have never made a freefall parachute jump, start by getting some training at a local drop zone. In order to do base jumps with a wing suit it is recommended that you have advanced freefall skills. Without these skills you increase the risk of injury or death due to unstable deployment, contacted the wall of the cliff, or misjudging the distance to the ground.
