Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph!
Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can do it at an airfield near you with this exhilarating and fun way to raise funds for OCD-UK.
There are over 20 parachuting airfields across the UK, all of which are approved by the British Parachute Association for your charity jump!
Freefall 'Tandem' Skydive for OCD-UK
All you need to do is raise a minimum of £395* in sponsorship and you're flying...literally. Raise the minimum amount of sponsorship to cover the costs, and you can jump for free, and OCD-UK will receive about £150 in valued fundraising.
Technically the jump is called a 'Tandem Skydive'. It is a Skydive because you will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in Tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent (see the photo of OCD0UK freefaller Simon above). This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a freefall parachutist. This is literally the chance of a lifetime!
This jump is also much less demanding than the traditional 'static line' jump as the jump and training are completed in one day and your instructor will control your landing.
