- Fallwell - Tandem jump
an experience that will take you out of your comfort zone
mix of extreme feelings
I always wanted to jump, but when the door of the plane opened, I thought, what the hell am I doing here? But the answer came right away.
That moment when a person falls into the void, a mix of extreme feelings, euphoric relaxation and a clear head is an experience forever… and so my tandem jump ended up being just the first of many more”
What is a tandem jump?
Tandem skydiving is the most popular form of skydiving available to the public today, where you are harnessed to an experienced tandem instructor who will safely guide you through this crazy experience.
About safety
While jumping from a plane, we, humans, will probably never feel comfortable. But that’s exactly what attracts us to it – fear, adrenaline, a new experience and the joy of “survival”.
But the fact is that tandem skydiving is actually a safe activity. Significant progress in the technology, training possibilities and sharing of experience has made jumping out of a plane statistically safer than driving to the airport.
Each tandem system is equipped with an automatic activation device (AAD) that can recognize a dangerous situation and open a reserve parachute.
In practice, this means that this device will open the parachute even if the person is falling unconscious, thus greatly insuring the possibility of human factor failure. Additionally, tandem skydiving has become a commercially popular activity accessible to everyone, where safety comes first. There is therefore a difference between tandem skydiving and performance sport skydiving, where you naturally push yourself to the edge at the expense of safety.
Každý tandemový komplet je vybavený automatickým zabezpečovacím prístrojom, ktorý dokáže vyhodnotiť nebezpečnú situáciu a otvoriť záložný padák.
V praxi to znamená, že tento prístroj otvorí padák, aj keby človek padal v bezvedomí, čím sa výrazne poistila možnosť zlyhania ľudského faktora. Navyše, tandemový zoskok sa stal komerčne populárnou záležitosťou dostupnou pre každého, kde sa bezpečnosť kladie na prvé miesto. Je preto rozdiel medzi zoskokom v tandeme a výkonnostným športovým parašutizmom, kde sa prirodzene tlačí na hranu na úkor bezpečnosti.
