Convincing Your Friends to Jump With You

Here are a few tips to get your friends to come skydiving with you:

Fight Fear With Facts

Fear is totally normal. The feeling comes more from the uncertainty of the activity than anything else. Luckily, math proves that skydiving is much more safe than you think. If we look at the past decade there were only 0.003 fatalities per 1000 jumps, meaning you are more likely to die from being struck by lightning.

Consider the Accomplishment

Remind your friends that the excitement is a key element in the enormous feeling of accomplishment they'll feel when they're standing on the landing zone.

Help Them Understand What to Expect

Go over all the procedures in a skydiving experience. Use this website as a guide and be sure to answer any and all questions your friends might have about skydiving.

Let Them Know They're Welcome Whether They Jump or Not

Even if your friends don't jump the first time they can come and watch, talk with the instructors, and experience a jump vicariously through you. This way they might be more willing next time.
