Is it a bad idea to go skydiving tandem when you have back problems?

It depends. Lots of people have back problems, spinal fusions, etc and still skydive. The opening of the parachute can be quite hard (not usually), and it can also cause a whiplash effect. Also, a parachute landing could be on your butt, kind of like sliding in on your rear end, which can also hurt your back.
So if your back has instability problems where this type of force or motion could affect it, then better safe than sorry. Most skydiving centers are able to help answer questions if you can explain your specific back issue.

They compete in skydiving competitions are various dropzones around the world. There are usually regional, national and world championship levels. Sometimes, low-level (skilled) competitions exist in a scrambles format. This is where mixed teams are put together with the idea that there will be no clear winning from the first jump.
Can you skydive after wisdom teeth extraction?
Perhaps the question should be, " How long after a wisdom tooth extraction should I wait prior to skydiving?" That would depend on whether it was a Tandem jump or a sport jump. As long as you feel ok there should be no problem as far as a Tandem jump. You will be required to fill out a form and should inform your TM if you have any concerns. I would consider it prudent to wait for a couple of days to a week, depending on recovery. As a sport jumper, you should not jump if you are still on painkillers and feel sore and sorry for yourself. I would consider a week minimum would be a good idea. The sky is not going to go away. It can be very difficult when the skies are blue and you havent jumped for a while because of the weather.
