MarkM 0 #3 November 2, 2009 There's no legal basis for an age limit, though the USPA has the age set for 16 for non-tandem jumping. The problem is that all DZs use a signed waiver to protect themselves from legal liability and if you're under 18 it gets complicated. In some states a waiver isn't valid even if both your parents sign it. A grandparent could sue if something happened to you. So a lot of DZs have the age limit at 18. Your best bet would be to talk to manifest or the DZO at either DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
