What was longest free fall solo with a parachute in history?

Answer 1

Joseph Kittinger is most famous for his participation in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior, holding the records for having the highest, fastest and longest skydive, from a height greater than 31 kilometres (19 mi).

Answer 2

In Australia:

• 18yo - You can do a tandem or AFF jump without parental consent
• 16-17yo - You can do a tandem jump only with parental consent
• 14-15yo - You can do a tandem jump only with parental consent (this is only available at some dropzones)
• Younger than 14 - Special application must be made to the Australian Parachute Federation. Usually this can only happen if a parent or legal guardian of the child is a qualified skydiving instructor with hundreds of jumps under their belt.

Answer 3

You must be eighteen years of age in order to parachute jumping solo. An id might be required in order to prove your age. There is no way to be registered by a parent or guardian if you are under age. There is no age limit.

Answer 4

When it comes to parachute jumping age requirements often vary state to state and company to company. Since the government does not regulate or place age limits on the activity most companies use a general rule for their own safely. In general most companies use what is called the "age of legal majority", which in most states is 16-18 years of age, to determine a minimum age limit. As far as a limit on seniors most companies do not have any ���upper age limits�۝. They often allow the parachute jumper to decide if they are still young enough to give it a go.

Answer 5

The man who holds the record for being the oldest person to complete a solo parachute jump is Herb Tanner. Herb was 92 when he made a solo jump in 1998.
