So, you wanna jump with a Tandem? By Jose Alverez
Published SkydiveMag 23 October 2016
Photo by Jose Alvarez
The tandem master, like a pilot or captain, is in charge of the jump. Period!
First we must understand that jumping with a tandem is not an activity we should use to learn or practice approaches. You can accompany your friend/relative, but only once you understand and will control important details, and have a specific plan for this jump.
We can start with the fact that the passenger and Tandem Master have their jump under control and to be conducted in a completely safe manner. A third person flying around must not take over the jump, in case you change this important premise.
It is essential that people who want to jump with a tandem are experienced, capable skydivers who know what is required to make a safe, fun jump.
for full article with tips and DOs and DON’Ts.
And ALWAYS ask the Tandem Master and DZSO if you can go on the jump!
