10,000 ft Freefall for Free - Jump for Everyman!
What's it like?
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!
Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles
come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent
from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of
the drop zone below.
Imagine being able to do this for FREE whilst harnessed to a professional
freefall parachute instructor and at the same time being able to help
cancer research! Stop imagining, it's real and you can do it in a special
weekend for the Everyman Male Cancer Campaign!
What does the jump involve?
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 (as in
the picture). 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 other types as the jump and
training are completed in one day, rather than over a whole weekend, and
your instructor will be in control of your landing.
Points to remember:
- Jump and training completed in one day.
- Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times.
- Jump from at least 10,000 feet - just like the professionals.
- Freefall down to 5,000 feet - falling through the air at 120 mph!
- Ride the parachute down to the ground - we teach you how to steer
onto the drop zone.
- Landing controlled by your instructor.
- Certificate to prove that you have completed a 'two-mile high' Tandem
Skydive!
- and You help our work raising awareness and conducting research
into male cancers!
What must I do to qualify for a free jump?
All you have to do is raise £350 (or more!) in aid of The Institute
of Cancer Research's Everyman Campaign by asking your friends and
colleagues to sponsor you, using our official sponsorship
forms. Please do not be put off by this amount - if you ask everybody
you know to sponsor you, you will find you can quite easily raise the
minimum £350 sponsorship and remember, every penny you raise over
the minimum will be further contributing to the Everyman Campaign and
giving you the chance to make an exhilarating freefall parachute jump
for FREE!
What do I do next?
Read the following pages of 'Important
Information' and 'Sponsorship Money' and
then simply complete and send us the Reservation
Form. After that all you have to do is start fundraising and look
forward to making an exhilarating Tandem Skydive from 10,000 feet for
FREE!
This is your chance to experience freefalling at 120mph!
