Your Questions, our answers
Pour sauter en parachute il faut une condition physique normale : pas besoin d’être un sportif de haut niveau.
Pour les personnes majeures de moins de 65 ans, un simple auto-questionnaire de santé doit être fourni.
Pour les mineurs et personnes de plus de 65 ans, un certificat médical d'absence de contre-indication à la pratique du parachutisme de moins d'un an, signé par un médecin français, doit être fourni.
Il faut aussi en avoir vraiment envie !
You can book online or by phone at +262 (0)692 42 10 42 during office hours, Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM, or by email at contact-parabourbon@orange.fr.
Jumps take place Wednesday through Sunday mornings starting at 7:00 AM, as well as Saturday afternoons starting at 2:00 PM.
If you come to visit us, please respect the designated circulation areas within the center (do not cross the security barrier). Walking around inside the airport grounds is strictly prohibited. Since the area is governed by international regulations, you could receive a fine from the Border Police.
The simplest option is a tandem jump with an instructor who takes care of the entire jump. The instructor wears the parachute and ensures the full safety of the jump.
The introductory solo training jump requires more involvement and time.Unlike the few minutes of preparation for a tandem, the ground training lasts between 5 and 6 hours.The medical examination is also more thorough and demanding.
This option is ideal for those who may want to continue and practice regularly: the introductory jump is the first level of the PAC training (French equivalent of Accelerated Freefall (AFF) program). You will have your own parachute, which you will steer after opening all the way to landing, assisted by radio guidance.
For tandem jumps, the time given to you is your arrival time.
After completing the administrative formalities, your instructor will give you a short briefing: boarding, positioning in the aircraft, door exit, freefall (about 50 seconds), canopy flight, and landing. Your safety and that of your instructor are our top priorities, so we must comply with weather regulations (wind and cloud cover).
Air traffic may occasionally require adjustments to the planned schedule. Please come in good spirits and allow up to 3 hours on site.If the jump cannot take place, you will be able to reschedule based on available dates.
No problem. Many skydivers are in the same situation. We provide goggles or over-glasses.
You can jump in pants, shorts, or a tracksuit, with athletic shoes for greater comfort. It is not cold during the climb to 13,000 feet (the aircraft door remains closed). During freefall in winter, a simple sweatshirt is sufficient.
For safety reasons, please avoid shoes with hooks.
Absolutely!
We strongly recommend eating normally before your jump (breakfast for a morning jump, lunch for an afternoon jump).
Do not come on an empty stomach.
No scuba diving deeper than 33 feet (10m) the day before.
For safety reasons, the passenger weight limit is 90 kg (198 lbs). Tandem jumps are available from age 15 (parental consent is required). There is no upper age limit. For participants over 65, a doctor determines fitness for tandem or introductory PAC (French equivalent of AFF) jumps.
It is strictly prohibited (and pointless) to consume stimulants of any kind before the jump. The jump itself will be the best natural high.
You can pay by credit card, check, cash, vacation vouchers, bank transfer, or online payment.
