Take it from personal experience, don't let him jump. I am 6' 6" and at the time of my tandem jump weighed between 285-295. I was concerned about the weight limit, and the school, SKYDIVE HASTINGS in Hastings, MI, was like, "No problem, we jump a 325 pound guy here all the time." So we are coming in to land, and it seems like we are coming in really fast. We crash into the ground, and I shatter my right leg between the knee and ankle. I had to ride for 3 hours in an ambulance to a hospital where they could do surgery to repair my leg (40cm titanium rod and 3 screws). Since I was in college at the time, I couldn't get a summer job, so I was pretty much broke for the whole summer and into the start of the next semester. My advice is not to believe what the school says if it sounds like what you want to hear. I am of the opinion that SKYDIVE HASTINGS would have said whatever it took to get my money from me, and now I am scarred for life.
