PRIMROSE Hospice is calling on budding thrill seekers or those looking for a unique experience to take on a charity skydive to support its work.
The leading Worcestershire hospice has a close working relationship with Skydive Tilstock and can help support those wanting to take the leap with getting themselves organised.
For a £50 deposit and the commitment to raise £350 for Primrose Hospice, those interested can make the jump in a tandem skydive. Skydive Tilstock is located at Tilstock Airfield in Whitchurch.
There are strict height, weight, age and medical restrictions for skydiving which you must check before booking. You can read these here on the Skydive Tilstock website and they will also be included in your enquiry pack.
The maximum weight is 15 stone fully clothed, with further weight restrictions depending on height.
You will be required to sign a medical declaration and may potentially need sign off from your doctor before jumping.
The minimum age for parachuting is 16. Anyone under 18 must have the written consent of a parent or guardian. There is no maximum age for tandem skydiving, however anyone over 70 will require form 115b signed by a GP, and will need to have an assessment carried out by the Chief Instructor.
Due to weather conditions, skydives are subject to last minute cancellations and delays when the weather is not suitable or safe for jumping. Please be prepared that you may have to wait for most of the day, even if you have an early check-in time due to weather conditions. Should your skydive be cancelled, it can be rescheduled to suit you.
