At Orange Skies Free Fall Center, safety is our first priority. There are a number of weather conditions that can make it unsafe for us to skydive. These can include cloud clearance, high winds, low temperatures, or precipitation. We will not jump if the weather conditions do not meet the safety requirements outlined by the FAA, USPA, or our facility. In the event that there is adverse weather we will hold from jumping until the conditions make it suitable for us to jump. Your deposit is not refundable in the case of poor weather. If you are not able to jump due to weather you will be able to use your full deposit to reschedule a jump for up to one year from the date of your original reservation.

Skydiving is a sport so athletic wear usually works best. With that being said we just ask that you wear tennis shoes or similar that you can tighten on your feet. You are welcome to wear shorts or pants, but keep in mind when you land you may slide in on your bottom. It is Colorado so we recommend you bring layers, you can always leave extra jackets in your car or at the front desk if you decide not to wear them in the plane.

Your ID, payment for your jump, cash if you would like to tip your instructor. Otherwise, bring whatever you may need to be at our facility for 3 hours. For you that could be snacks, water, sunglasses, binoculars, etc… 

We ask you to not bring alcohol, drugs, or dogs and other pets (service animals allowed).

Absolutely! Your first skydive only happens once, so make sure you share it with those close to you! We have a viewing area right next to the parachute landing area.

On a tandem skydive you will go approximately 120 miles per hour.

The freefall portion of the skydive can last up to 60 seconds while the canopy ride will be approximately 5 minutes.

There are several variables that can speed up or slow down the process. How busy we are that day, weather, and what time you arrive all affect how quickly we can get you on your jump. The safety briefing, gear up process, and safety check will take 30 minutes. The plane ride to our jump altitude will take approximately 15 minutes as well. Commonly, your whole experience will take anywhere from 2-4 hours. However, you should be prepared to stay the whole day to complete your skydive.

For safety we are unable to take anyone that weighs over 230lbs in the clothes they are required to jump in. Weight for everyone that wishes to skydive will be verified at our facility prior to your jump.

There is no maximum age limit but you must be at least 18 years old to skydive. A valid photo ID is required to jump.

You cannot bring your own camera on a tandem skydive. We adhere to the USPA recommendation of a minimum of 200 solo skydives before a jumper can bring their own camera equipment on a skydive.

Having a malfunction on your skydive is incredibly rare. In the event that your main parachute is not able to be landed safely, all tandem skydiving systems are required to have a reserve parachute with an AAD (automatic activation device) that has been properly maintained by an FAA certified parachute rigger. All of our equipment meets the safety standards required by federal law as stated in the FAA AC No: 105-2D
