Skydiving is a sport.
Similar to skiing, most levels of health can participate, but it may be necessary to be in a healthy physical condition to participate in some areas of skydiving. You can contact your local drop zone for their specific weight limits. There are very few physical problems that would actually keep you from jumping, and most drop zones will work within your limits. If you have a physical condition that you feel may inhibit your ability, we suggest you contact your doctor before skydiving. Student instructors are skydivers who have successfully completed an extensive and in-depth training program for certifying instructors.
