Wow I love it. I would like to do it, will give you a call.

While it's still flying I'm not jumping out of it......

My softness has always wanted to do a tandem jump....good idea for an xmas pressie I then have bargaining power to start my lessons

Very cool

Looks like great fun, dare I ask what the weight limit is for tandem jump?

Then again, wasn't there a movie "Operation Dumbo drop"

I am only 125kg Velocity?

Was wondering the same myself Big D

Oddball, you have now gone where many fear to go!! Well done but next time I would like to see you without the instructor strapped to your back.

I have done it quite a few times and stopped many years ago but can confirm that it is one of the most amazing sensations when you are free-falling through the blue.

As Velocity has said "WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE"

Just looked it up on the net....weight limit is 100kg

For tandems, it depends on how much the tandem master weighs, so if you can find a really tiny one, you can jump weighing more than 100kg.
I'm sure V has enough contacts to find a tiny tandem master
The ones I know are all heavier than 100kg themselves

he he he. Looks lekka.

I did AFF many moons ago when DZ was still at FAKD. Does this course still exist?

but after 10 jumps i decided to go back to landing on wheels

100%....

Slysi, Angel, Big D & all - as C205 says its officially 100kg but you can go a bit more if the total is within certain limits - also is the pax fit or overweight and probably unable to assist the tandem master in climb out, landing etc ? So if you're over 100kg then give me a shout or drink less beer or eat less Xmas pud for a while...

BTW Rustenburg Skydiving Club are having a little accuracy competition this weekend so if you're flying in the area, pop around the Club to check out this and sign up for a Tandem . Food & drink will also be on sale the whole weekend - I'm there from about midday Saturday after a couple of demos in Jhb
