Unfortunately we are unable to jump in adverse weather conditions. This includes cloud cover, high winds, precipitation, or low temperatures. Often times, even if there is bad weather in Chicago, we may have clear blue skies for jumping in Ottawa. Even though the meteorologist is often wrong, if you are concerned about the weather, we recommend checking your favorite weather source for the weather in Ottawa, Illinois 61350, or call us at 815-433-0000 with any questions. Your $50 deposit is non-refundable in the case of weather. We offer our tandem class rain or shine and in the event of weather you have two options: a) You may come out and attend the 25 minute tandem class. In the case you are not able to make your jump we will issue a rain check, which is redeemable at full value for up to one year from your original reservation date. If you return to make your jump within the same calendar year you will not need to complete paperwork or take the class again, otherwise a $10 class fee will apply. b) You may reschedule your reservation for up to one year from your original reservation date without incurring penalties. We realize that we are a long drive for most of our customers, so in the case of weather, you may call us the day of your reservation at 815-433-0000 to reschedule for a future date. We will hold your $50 deposit for one year. FAQs What if I come out and take the class and decide not to jump? If you go through the class and decide not to jump, you will be refunded less the $50 deposit. Once you have boarded the plane, the entire amount is non-refundable. What is the reservation no show/cancellation policy? The $50 deposit is not refundable. No Show Policy: If you are unable to make your reservation, please call us at 815-433-0000 by 5 pm the day prior to your reservation to reschedule.

Yes. ® has a special offer for your second tandem. If you pay for it within 1 week of your first jump, it’ll only cost you $149.00. You can use it that the same day, or save it and use it for up to one year later. Can I bring my friends and family to watch? Definitely YES! We have so much to do here at ®. Bring everyone! We have swimming, hiking or biking the trails, volleyball, a disc golf course, and so much more! You can even plan on camping overnight at ®, but keep in mind that for every person jumping, you are allowed a maximum of 1 non-jumping overnight guest. How long is the first tandem jump training? The class is about 25 minutes. Prior to the jump your Instructor will walk you through the training again. I am coming out with a friend(s); can we jump at the same time? We can generally accommodate 3-5 tandems in the airplane at one time. For safety purposes you will not be jumping out of the airplane at the same time as we need to maintain a safe distance between jumpers in the sky. For larger groups you will always get to jump with someone from your group, but you may be asked to form smaller sub-groups of 3-5 people when you check in. Can I jump by myself the first time? At ®, your first and second jump must be tandem, in which you’re harnessed to the front of an instructor. In case you forget something, like pulling the parachute, it is good to have someone there. What happens if the parachute doesn’t open? Although it is unlikely that your main parachute will fail to open properly, it does sometimes occur. At , all equipment is equipped with a main and a reserve parachute, as well as an Automated Activation Device (AAD), which is designed to open the reserve parachute should the jumper be unable to. What if I love it and I want to learn to skydive on my own? At ®, you need to make two tandem jumps and acquire Instructor approval. Then, you can transition into our Advanced Freefall Program (AFP) for students. What’s the landing like? Most landings are quite soft, with most people doing a soft sliding sit-down landing. Under certain conditions, some people make a stand-up landing. How fast do you fall? Tandem skydivers fall at approximately 120 miles per hour. How long does the skydive last? A tandem skydive lasts up to 60 seconds in freefall and about 5-7 minutes under canopy. What will the skydive feel like? The sensation of freefall is more like flying than falling, and is intensely exciting and liberating. The canopy flight is peaceful and relaxing. How do I keep my ears from getting...
