Although our safety record is second to none and we take every precaution to mitigate the inherent risks associated with skydiving, it is important to understand that skydiving is inherently dangerous. That being said, the vast majority of all skydiving accidents happen to expert skydivers pushing the envelope. Where tandem jumps are concerned, we have, on occasion had passengers twist or even break an ankle if they did not follow landing instructions. Our instructors have never had a tandem or AFF student fatality. Statistically, about 1 in every 3,000 main parachutes fail to open properly requiring main parachute release and reserve parachute activation.
