Can you skydive if you're overweight ?
Permalink   
 

I really wanna try skydiving. But I'm not sure I'll be able to do that considering my weight. What if the parachute breaks because I'm too heavy? I wanna skydive, not skydie lol (sorry lame dark joke)

So ya... I tried to search some infos on google and some sites say you have to be under 80kg to skydive and some other sites say you have to be under 100kg, idk what to trust lol (im 80kg)

Also, I imagine you have to be in perfect health shape to skydive. Like if you have breathing issues or dizzyness when just bending down and stand up again, I might faint on my skydive journey, considering I'm easily dizzy when I'm "up above the clouds"

Tho last time I did a high rollercoaster (50m high) and it was very fast and I didn't get dizzy nor vomitted. So I guess im fine? But rollercoaster is nothing compared to skydive. Skydiving is not just 50m high lol

I might ask my doc but idk. Or maybe I should just lose some weight if I really want to skydive oneday. I love adrenaline-rush hobbies so I don't want my weight ruining that!!!

any suggestions?

Yeah, when it comes to skydiving, weight can be a factor, but it's not always a deal-breaker. It really depends on the drop zone and their policies. Some places might have strict weight limits for safety reasons, while others might be more flexible. The important thing is to check with the skydiving center directly. They'll give you the lowdown on whether their gear, like the sunpath javelin, can accommodate different weights safely. Safety first, right? If skydiving's your dream, don't be afraid to ask and get the facts straight from the pros.
