How to Skydive

Before you can sky dive, there are actually two questions that will be asked to help the experienced sky divers controlling your jump determine if you are capable to do this activity. The first is your health condition, and the other is your weight.

The weight of the skydiver is one of the main factors to consider before one can sky dive. Those who are overweight, as well as the underweight, have a higher risk of sustaining injuries upon landing. See the comments given by the skydiving pros regarding your weight and think if you are fit enough to skydive.

Those who weigh 200 to 230 pounds are very much welcome to sky dive as long as they are in good shape. Most skydivers actually recommend this weight range because it is not too light or too heavy.

On the other hand, for those who are between 230 to 250 pounds may also sky dive provided that they in really good shape. However, they are at risk for landing injuries, especially if they are not fit or athletic enough.

Unfortunately, it is rare for those who weigh 250 pounds or more be allowed to skydive. They have the biggest chance of obtaining an injury in case of a bad landing.
