Are you ever too old to skydive?

Yes. Skydiving is generally a sport where active physical participation is required. Freefall is quite violent at 120MPH. Parachute openings can be rough. Landings are generally smooth but can also be unpredictable and rough.

Lots of elderly people skydive and lots make their first jump. But lots are also turned away due too poor health, artificial joints, medical conditions, weight, etc. Skydiving is not for everyone.

Tandem Skydiving has opened the door for a lot of people to come and jump who would otherwise never be able to go, but even Tandem has limitations. People in their 80's and 90's are seen making their first jump via tandem.
