One week of skydiving over one of the most beautiful drop zone of the world...

Is skydiving safe?


Skydiving is a high-speed aerial sport that exposes its participants to the real risk of injury and death. Each year in the U.S. about 35 people die while making approximately 2 million parachute jumps. Other skydivers are sometimes killed while riding aboard jump aircraft.


Those skydivers who are trained well, who stay current and who take a conservative approach to the sport are involved in very few accidents and suffer few injuries.


Most parachute centers require that each customer sign a legally binding assumption-of-risk agreement. The document makes it clear that the sport has its risks and that the jumper is electing to jump in spite of those risks.
