    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
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  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.
