Don't know, but I hope I'm strapped to a skinny one just in case.

Naa. Two hundred pounds is usually the limit, unless your DZ has small instructors and expensive reserve chutes.
Most do, but they use it to weed out uncommited poofters before they create a "cleanup situation" in the aircraft or on the tandem instructors.

Re: Problematic Stuff
skydiving should not be allowed until they stop supporting unhealthy body images -- not allowing heavier people (especially women, of course, as they are disproportionately affected as usual) to tandem skydive is discriminatory and problematic.

If the army can drop 50 tonne payloads with parachutes, skydiving organisations can drop fat chicks!

Re: Problematic Stuff
It should be banned! Selfish rich fuckers engaging in dangerous sports and costing our overburdened health care system. BAN IT!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Problematic Stuff
And, think of the environment and climate change! All that unnecessary airplane exhaust!
Don't they know the world is coming to an end soon?
Skydiving -- sexist, misogynistic, and fat-shaming -- environmentally unsound and contributing unnecessarily to global warming. It is a shameful sport, and anyone who even watches a skydiver is a hateful, misogynist, fat-shamer, who supports body negative imagery and doesn't give a shit about the environment.
