That depends on what type of parachuting you are talking about? If it is skydiving, in the UK, the age is 16 (with parental consent). Skydiving is where you jump out of a plane with a packed parachute on your back. After a freefall delay of around 1 minutes, the parachute is then opened (deployed) and it takes approximately 4 minutes to glide back to the ground.
You can have options of doing your first jump harnessed to an experienced instructor with a tandem jump or on your own with 2 Accelerated Freefall instructors. The 2nd route is the one to qualification and the 1st one is great for a one-off jump.
