Jump into Christmas with this fearless festive FUN-draiser!
When it comes to raising money for St Michael’s Hospice, the sky really is the limit.
Whether a tandem skydive is on your Bucket List, or you’re just looking for a different way to collect funds for your Hospice, we can help you plan your memorable day. In December, why not dress up as Santa or your favourite Christmas character to take part in a skydive?
You will be completing a 10,000ft tandem skydive (attached to a BPA qualified instructor), free-falling from an aircraft for the first 5,000ft, travelling at up to 120mph, before the parachute opens for the rest of the jump.
You can take part on any available date in December and at a location suitable to you.

Important information
For a tandem skydive you must be at least *16 years old and be under *15 stone in weight, but this varies between airfields, so please check their individual Terms and Conditions. The principal medical restrictions are diabetes, epilepsy, fits, recurrent blackouts, heart or lung disease, mental illness and some cases of asthma. You will be required to sign a medical form before your jump declaring your fitness to take part – this will be sent to you upon receipt of your online booking but is also available on request. Those under the age of 18 will need the medical form signed by a parent or guardian; those with a medical condition will need it signed by their doctor.
Pre-existing physical conditions will not necessarily prevent you from taking part but please inform Skyline of any physical condition as this may affect the location of your jump. If you are in any doubt then please contact us for further information.
