Tandem Skydiving for Charity
if you are planning to do a one-off jump for a charity that you support, we would recommend a tandem skydive as this gives the best all round experience of skydiving with the least amount of training. To find out how to tandem jump for charity please see the charity Page.

As of April 11th 2016 our governing body the British Parachute Association has introduced two forms to replace the original tandem fitness form. The 40+ age limit has been removed for mandatory medicals for tandem jumpers. Ability to take part in a tandem jump is now solely based on medical history.
There are now two BPA tandem forms as follows: You should read the BPA Fitness form 115a as soon as possible - if having read all the statements you are unable to declare yourself fit to jump and sign this form, then you will need to take Form 115b to your doctor to be signed and bring this along with you on the day of your jump.
As before, a letter from the doctor, notes or any other type of medical cannot be accepted. It must be the official signed BPA Form 115 A or B only. Forms should be taken along on the day of your course; we do not need them back in advance.
You must be over 16 to skydive in the UK. If under 18, you are required to complete a British Parachute Association (BPA) Consent Form 106 that will need to be signed by a parent/guardian. To download a copy of this form, please click here. If you are not yet 18 your parent/guardian will also need to sign Form 115a .
We recommend everyone under the age of 18 takes a parent/guardian with them on the day.
