Safety is everything in skydiving. Without it, there would be many accidents and it would be shutdown by the CAA in the UK. So there are many things which can improve safety:

  • A proper and indepth certification system which enables new skydiver to be taught the basics. The first rung on the ladder is called the A-certificate.
  • The British Parachute Association which manages all the dropzones where sky diving takes places and has committees designed to constantly improving safety.
  • Each skydiver jumps with 2 parachutes - a main and a reserve.
  • All new skydivers must jump with an AAD - an Automatic Activation Device. This tiny computer will open your reserve parachute automatically if the jumper has not done themself at a low altitude.
  • Each dropzone is inspected every 2 years to ensure compliance with safety.
  • Once a skydiver reaches the age of 40, they must have a medical certificate signed by their doctor.

I jump in Lincolnshire at a dropzone called skydiving.co.uk. They run regular additional qualifications and coaching weekends which are designed to improve the skills of a skydiver. Doing so reduces the chances of accidents.
