What do people wear for indoor skydiving?

Answer 1

Wear comfortable clothing. More than likely you will put on a jumpsuit over what you are wearing, not to mention the parachute. Don't wear anything too constrictive. Closed-toe tennis shoes are a must.

Answer 2

Apart from a skydiving rig containing two parachutes, most skydivers wear a jumpsuit, a helmet and an altimeter of some kind. The jumpsuit keeps you warm at the high altitudes and protects your clothing. Many skydivers do not wear a jumpsuit when the weather is warm. The helmet protects your head in case you hit the aircraft on exit or other jumpers in freefall, or if you land in obstacles like trees. In the UK, all skydivers are required to wear a helmet, but in the USA it is the jumper's choice. A barometric or electronic altimeter worn on the wrist or chest, or an audible altimeter in the helmet lets the skydiver know how high they are and when to deploy their canopy.

Answer 3

• The main parachute which is typically a RAM-air parachute which looks like a wing.
• The reserve parachute which has to be repacked in England every 6 months by a licensed parachuting rigger.
• The harness also known as a container. This holds the main and reserve parachutes.
• Helmet
• Gloves
• Goggles
• Altimeter which measures the altitude in real-time. This is typically deliniated in 1000ft increments.
• Audible altimer
• A jumpsuit suitable for your chosen skydiving discipline - freefly, formation skydiving, freestyle, CF, etc.
