    Tandem Skydive

    Can anyone recommend a company that does Tandem Skydives or anyone with skydive experience ? What kind of certification should I expect these companies to have relating to skydiving ? I just want it to be safe

        Where are you looking to do your jump? I did a static line jump with the Midland Parachute Club a few years back near Stratford-upon-Avon, but I think they're based near Oxford now?
        Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

            The weekend before I did my jump there was a hour long documentary on Channel 4 about parachuting accidents. I probably shouldn't have watched it...

              f4j were planning to parachute in on the 2006 world cup final : were going to jump from a paraglider. but on the paragliding course (in Cyprus) someone died so the course was cancelled.

                These guys should be able to help but it takes some time

                  You also have to be a total nutcase who should be kept away from civilians. My brother was a major with them until a few months ago.

                    Quite possibly. I also just remembered the story of the cameraman who forgot his chute.
