Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
The freefall phase is the peak, where you exit the aircraft and hit full speed before the parachute deploys. That transition from the aircraft door to open air is what most first-timers describe as the defining moment.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights is less relevant at jump altitude than most people expect. The scale is so vast that the ground doesn't register the same way it does standing on a rooftop. Most tandem jumpers report the freefall itself feels more like flying than falling.
How long is the actual freefall?
The total session is 3 hours, which includes briefing, gearing up, the aircraft ascent and the jump itself. The freefall portion is a fraction of that total time, but it's the part that stays with you.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
Skydiving operations at Hibaldstow Airfield are weather-dependent. If conditions don't allow a safe jump, the operator will reschedule. Contact Skydive Hibaldstow directly to understand their rebooking policy before you confirm.

Equipment
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes and lace-up trainers, nothing loose that can catch wind at altitude. The 3-hour session includes a full briefing, so arrive on time and leave bulky bags in the car.
