How long does the average tandem skydive last from door to floor?

There is a formula that works quite well. The first 1000ft takes 10seconds. This is because the initial velocity with respect to the ground is zero so therefore the average velocity to this point is half terminal. Thereafter, it takes 5 seconds for every 1000ft.
Therefore a jump from 12000ft will give you 7000ft of free fall with a deployment at 5000ft. That is 10 sec to 11000ft, then 6 times 5 seconds to 5000ft, a free fall period of 40 seconds.
Keep in mind a heavier Tandem passenger will have a bit less time, and a small Asian woman or a child will have a bit more.
More bang for your buck, call Jenny Craig. Check out the Tandem Instructors and go for the smallest. That will give you a bit more FF.
Because of the lower air pressure at higher altitude, this formula is not quite so good for 16000ft or 20000ft Tandems.

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.

How do you fix a 9 inch gap under your garage door?
Either the garage door would need to be cut and adjusted in height to conform to the floor, or the floor would need to be modified to conform to the door. If the door bottom is near level, the floor should be built up to meet the door. If the floor is level, there are serious issues with the door. Consult a garage door installer.
