NO, the Accelerated Free Fall program allows the student to jump for the first time with two instructors holding onto their parachute harness. The program begins with a 4-6 hour ground-school course and then a minimum of 7-8 jumps that require the student to progressively demonstrate new skills they have learned on the ground. From the first jump, the student is fully responsible for the proper timely deployment of their parachute, fixing any unlikely malfunctions of the parachute, and safely landing.

The safest kind of skydive is the tandem jump. This is probably the best for beginners who are taking their first jump. One jumps in a physical harness belted to the instructor. The jump, averaging about 10,000 feet, consists of nearly a minute free fall and then a large parachute covering the last few minutes. It happens so quickly, make sure to arrange and pay for an accompanying video skydiver to capture the fast-pace fun.
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.
