Parachuting


Instructor and Sense participant in jumpsuits Parachuting above the clouds

Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway at 10,000 feet. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go. Imagine falling through the clouds, diving down through the air as you start free-falling at over 120mph. Imagine steering the parachute through the tranquil descent into the drop zone below. How amazing is that?

Now stop imagining, because it could be real and you can do it in aid of Sense!

To qualify for the jump, all you have to do is raise from £360 depending on the type of jump. You can raise money by asking your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you.

There are three types of jumps that you could try:

• Tandem Skydive – jumping attached to a professional parachutist.
• Static Line – jumping out alone but attached to a static line.
• Accelerated Freefall – jumping out alone at 10,000 feet.

You will be fully trained by the instructors and they'll be around all day to answer any last minute questions.

There are 25 airfields across the country where Sense has jumps, from Cornwall right up to Errol in Scotland. They are all national British Parachute Association (BPA) parachute centres with full insurance cover and fully trained instructors. You can select when and where you jump, who you jump with and how you jump.

No experience is necessary, and we can guarantee it'll be an experience you'll never forget.

You can take part in parachuting by completing the secure online booking form.
