Are there any restrictions?


To take part in a skydive you must be aged 16 or above.

You'll be required to sign a medical form before you jump declaring your fitness to take part – this will be sent to you once you have reserved a place. Pre-existing medical conditions don't mean you won't be able to take part, but if you suffer from any of the conditions listed on the form you'll need your doctor to agree it's safe for you to take part. Your doctor will need to complete a separate form found here.

You'll receive a welcome pack, unlimited support from our events team and once you've raised £100, we'll send you an exclusive #TeamBowelCancerUK t-shirt to wear with pride on your skydive.

For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16 – however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You'll have access to this once you have booked.
 
A few of our partners airfields have an upper age limit for tandem jumps: Cornwall has an upper age limit of 65, Lancaster and Whitchurch have a limit of 70 and Perthshire has a limit of 49.
