BUSTING SKYDIVING MYTHS: What You Think You Know vs. The Truth

🛑 Myth #1: Skydiving is Extremely Dangerous

The Truth: While it may feel extreme (that’s the point, right?), tandem skydiving is Regulated by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sports in the U.S. At Skydive Philadelphia, our instructors are USPA-certified professionals, and every piece of gear is inspected and maintained regularly. The data backs it up—tandem skydives have an excellent safety record nationwide.

😳 Myth #2: You’ll Pass Out or Get Sick in Freefall

The Truth: Most people are way too excited to faint. Freefall feels more like floating than falling—it’s smooth and surreal. As for getting sick? Very rare. Especially when you're jumping with pros like ours who keep things comfortable and upbeat from plane to parachute. Remember to eat comfortably before your jump, not eating can make you as sick and eating to much!

💸 Myth #3: It’s Way Too Expensive

The Truth: A tandem jump with Skydive Philadelphia is often less than a fancy night out in the city—and a whole lot more memorable. We even run flash sales and limited-time offers (hint: follow us on social for deals), and group rates are available too!

🤔 Myth #4: It’s Only for Young Daredevils

The Truth: Our jumpers range from 18 to 90+. You don’t need to be a thrill-junkie—just curious enough to take the leap. And trust us: age doesn’t determine courage.
