Prerequisites before the big jump

The duration of a wingsuit jump session with SkyVibration depends on several factors, including the type of jump (airplane or helicopter), the jump location, and the weather conditions. In general, you can expect a session to last around 2h. between preparation, flight, jump and post-jump debriefing.

In more detail, a climb in an aircraft takes between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on altitude and the type of aircraft chosen.
The wingsuit flight itself takes an average of 1min20 at 4000m, and almost 2min when you jump from 6000m. Of course, this parameter varies according to your flying position and weight.

Once the parachute is open, you have about 8 to 10 minutes of more contemplative canopy flight, again depending on the weather conditions and.... your desire to perform acrobatics under canopy!

– Below 15°C on the ground: wear technical thermal clothing (2^nde skin) under your jacket (hoodless if possible) and pants (sports or jeans). Possibly thin gloves, depending on how you manage the cool air.

– Between 15° and 25°C on the ground: a pair of pants and a jacket (hoodless if possible)

– Above 25°C on the ground : shorts and t-shirt, or just a little warmer, depending on your needs.

Note: loose-fitting clothing reduces the sensations once in flight, so prefer clothes that are closer to the body.

We have a range of combinations available in several sizes to lend you for the experience.

  Did you know? 

La température diminue d’environ 6°C tous les 1000m supplémentaires.

We'll let you do the math for 4000 m! 

Please note, however, that as we won't be staying there for long, there's no need to arrive up there in skiwear! 

Of course, this depends on the time of your flight, but the ideal is simply to have eaten a light meal at your usual time, before coming (to avoid hypoglycemia, without the risk of being smeared when you get on the plane!). 

To quote the famous maxim from Into the Wild: "Happiness is only real if it is shared".
Your family and friends are of course welcome to attend the briefing, and we'll give them all the information they need to enjoy the experience with you.

Let us know if there are many of you, so we can plan ahead for coffee! 

At the time of booking, you didn't have the budget to take a video, and you regret it?

Don't panic: let us know as soon as possible so that we can book our videoman, and we'll try to arrange to provide this extra service (provided the videoman is still available, of course!), in which case you can pay for this option on the spot, by bank transfer, credit card or cash.

Our team will welcome you for your briefing, and your instructor will introduce you to the equipment and the jump procedure: this is the time to ask all your questions! Accompanying persons are welcome at the briefing.

1. Your instructor will fit you with a wetsuit and harness, followed by a physical warm-up to prepare you for your flight.
2. Boarding the aircraft.
3. 10 to 25 minutes of ascent, depending on the chosen jump altitude: the essential instructions are repeated, and you enjoy the breathtaking scenery.
4. At your chosen departure altitude, the door opens and you take a deep breath of fresh air.
5. Fabulous acceleration followed by 1-2 minutes of flight at 200-250 km/h.
6. 1600m high: the parachute opens. The calm settles in for a 7-8 minute panoramic flight to the ground: a privileged moment before the soft landing.
7. You'll then have plenty of time to enjoy your return to Earth, while we prepare to watch the video, if there is one, and analyze the GPS data from the flight.

The good news: You don't need any skydiving experience! Your instructor is a qualified professional who will supervise your jump and guide you from A to Z.

• No age limit.
• BMI below 31.
• Weights from 40 to 85 kg.
  
  Weights between 85 and 90 kg can be flown. For safety reasons, physical fitness is a determining factor, and we will consider this possibility on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us before booking your flight.
  
  

Finally, as with a traditional tandem skydive, you need to ensure your overall health.

To do so, download our medical questionnaire 

The Skyvibration team developed the Tandem Wingsuit activity for 3 years before it was validated by the relevant aeronautical authorities.
Numerous experts were called in to study every detail of each stage (material, technical, human factors, etc.).

Numerous wingsuit load-carrying tests were carried out before human flight.
Independent monitors were hooked up as passengers, simulating incidents, to objectively validate each procedure.
Safety protocols have been studied, tested, filmed and measured using GPS to demonstrate their reliability.

Although this is a new and unique activity worldwide, the parachute used is approved equipment. This type of equipment is used in several million tandem jumps around the world every year, and includes a reserve parachute. 
All our flights are carried out with an approved safety release that guarantees the opening of the reserve canopy, even without the instructor's intervention.

Finally, we're still a long way from relief: it's not BASE jumping!

It is possible to be on the same plane if you jump on the same day, but this requires organization.
In fact, there are only two instructors in the world who can take you flying! Luckily, Vincent and Ambroise are both with Skyvibration. But they're not always on the same spot at the same time, so if it's a special request, please let us know in advance. However, this may not always be possible, given their respective schedules!

On the other hand, flying side-by-side would require a lot of training, and for safety reasons, we don't offer it.
