When can I jump?
We have organised a select number of dates for you to choose from, which are listed on the enclosed reservation form. If you are unable to jump on any of these dates please contact Skyline (who run the parachute events for Pancreatic Cancer Action) on 020 7424 5522 to discuss the possibility of jumping on alternative dates.
Where is the airfield?
Skydive locations in the UK
There are over twenty British Parachute Association approved centres across the UK – please see the enclosed map for their location and which jumps they offer. Once we have received your reservation form we will do our best to place you at your nearest centre but if this is not possible we will contact you to discuss the alternatives.
Are there any restrictions on age or health?
| Tandem Skydive | Static Line | AFF |
Age | 16 and over | 16 to 50 inclusive | 16 to 50 inclusive |
Weight | Under 15 stone | Under 15 stone | Under 15 stone |
Please note for all jumps your weight should be roughly in proportion to your height and some centres have lower weight limits – please contact Skyline on 020 7424 5535 for details. The principal medical restrictions for all jumps are diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness and some cases of asthma. You will be required to sign a medical form before your jump declaring your fitness to take part – this will be sent to you upon receipt of your reservation form but is also available on request. Those under the age of 18 will need the medical form signed by a parent or guardian; those aged 40 and over, or those with a medical condition, will need it signed by their doctor.
Pre-existing physical conditions will not necessarily prevent you from taking part but please do inform us of any physical conditions as this may affect the location of your jump; if you are in any doubt then please contact Skyline for further information.
What about insurance?
You will automatically be covered for up to £2,000,000 third party insurance but this will not cover you for personal injury. Should you wish to take out cover for personal injury you should either arrange this through your own broker or you can contact Skyline on 020 7424 5535 and they will send you a Personal Insurance Form.

Finally
We sincerely hope that you decide to give it a go – it has often been described as a thrilling ‘once in a lifetime’ experience and is an excellent way in which to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause. There will be lots of other people trying parachuting for the very first time on the day, so you are welcome to bring along your friends and family so they can watch you on a day you will simply never forget: The day you perform an exhilarating skydive or parachute jump in aid of Pancreatic Cancer Action.
