Tipping
It might seem like just a lot of fun to you, but your tandem instructor works very hard all day long and has a tremendous amount of responsibility keeping you safe and making sure you thoroughly enjoy your skydive. If they do a good job, it is customary to tip them for their efforts. 10% of your package price is an average tip.

Biggest Formation
On August 2nd, 2006, skydivers from 31 countries set a world record of 400 people holding hands in a mid-air free-fall formation.
First Parachute Jump
André Jacques Garnerin made his first successful parachute jump above Paris on 22nd October, 1797. After ascended to an altitude of 3,200 feet (975 meters) in an hydrogen balloon he jumped from the basket. As Garnerin failed to include an air vent at the top of his parachute, he oscillated wildly in his descent. However, he landed unhurt half a mile from the balloon's takeoff site. Garnerin therefore became the first man to design a parachute that was capable of slowing a man's fall from a high altitude.
