Tandem at age 14

[Billy122 0]

Hi, are there any DZ's in Europe where you can do a tandem jump at the age of 14?
Thanks.

Every tandem dz in Germany. You'd only need a parental declaration of consent. (Is that how you call it?)

I think almost anywhere in Europe would be the same.

Where are you located Billy ? Where would you want to jump ?

Yes - France is very popular for tandems for kids. My 14yr old will do her first this year.

Where abouts are you going ?

I'm in the North East of England, anywhere that's easy to get to would be fine.

Well technically the UK is in Europe
In Spain 14 year olds can jump. I notice EmpuriaBrava set a minimum weight of 35kg.

I believe there is no minimum age if you meet the minimum weight requirement. Can anyone verify this and is this the same in France and Germany?

There are some (many?) dropzones who operate on a policy of, if they can fit in the tandem harness securely, then they can skydive.

So unless your 14-year-old is particularly tiny, you're good to go as long as you're outside the UK. I vote for Spain
