PARACHUTING: A SNAPSHOT

For some people, the idea of parachuting or skydiving is unthinkable, or maybe one of those “once in your life” experiences, if they dare! For a different breed of sportsperson, it’s an addictive thrill that they have to do over and over – and then test themselves in a range of competitions held regularly here in Australia and overseas. They compete in artistic events, accuracy tests, formation jumps – all governed by the Australian Parachute Federation, who ensure that the strictest safety standards are applied at every level, from beginners to the pros.

Step into a parachute club culture and you will find a bunch of dedicated and “safety-first” experts keen to introduce YOU into their (literally!) rarefied world.
