FAQ:
Who is USPA and are you rated through them?
The United States Parachute Association or USPA is the regulatory or governing agency-serving skydivers. They are the only such agency in the United States and have set forth standards in skydiving safety and training. Skydiving centers that have pledged to abide by these safety standards are called “Group Members.” The Long Island Skydiving Center is a USPA Group Member, and all of our Instructors possess instructional ratings recognized by USPA.
How’s your safety record?
While skydiving is definitely an extreme sport carrying an obvious risk of serious injury or death on every jump, we are proud to say that we have not had a single student injury at the Long Island Skydiving Center. Statistics have shown that skydiving injuries typically occur during a poorly executed landing. The tandem skydiving method employed by The Long Island Skydiving Center greatly minimizes this risk by the direct supervision of our highly experienced USPA rated tandem instructors. The equipment used at The Long Island Skydiving Center is also the most advanced tandem skydiving equipment available on the planet. Safety is our primary objective. Please keep in mind that accidents are still possible.
Can you breathe in freefall?
The freefall and parachute environments do not cause any difficulty in breathing; however, some students have commented that it was awkward to breathe during the first few seconds. This is caused not by lack of oxygen but by the surge of adrenaline and excitement of first jumping out of the aircraft. Sometimes when a person is startled they draw in a breath of air and hold it. When you exit the airplane you must continue to breathe in and breathe out.
How fast will we be falling?
Typical freefall speeds are approximately 120 MPH although this can increase or decrease slightly with body size and position. The freefall speed record is over 330 mph. An experienced skydiver using specialized equipment achieved this speed record.
