SAFETY BRIEFING

Body Positions
Before your jump, our tandem instructor will go through all the important body positions with you at the drop zone. You can familiarise yourself with them here in advance.
EXIT
01 – Exit position
- While you are already outside the plane, your tandem instructor is still sitting on the edge of the plane
- Take your head back into the neck
- Hands in your passenger harness, shoulders back
- Bend your legs under the plane
- Push your hips to the front (arching)
- Hold your body in this position
AFTER EXIT
02 – Position directly after exit
- Maintain exit position
- Keep your head back
- Keep hands in the harness
- Bend your legs backwards (try to touch the bottom of the tandem instructor with your feet)
- Push hips to the front (arching)
- Hold your body in this position
FREEFALL
03 – Freefall position
- Maintain body tension
- Keep your legs bent – do not stretch out
- Keep your hands in the harness
- Only when the tandem instructor taps you on the shoulder may you slowly take your hands out (legs stay bent)
LANDING
04 – Landing position
- Take landing position approximately 80 metres above ground (on instruction from the tandem instructor)
- Pull your knees to your chest and stretch your legs
- Important: The legs must remain in this position until the landing is complete – this significantly reduces the risk of injury!
