Skydiving requirements for SOLO jumpers

Parachute system requirements:

  • The landing area on Barneo Ice Camp will be equipped with everything necessary for safe performing of parachute jumps, however, taking into account the specifics of the terrain, we strongly do not recommend using the main parachute domes with a load of more than 1.5 lb/sq.ft, it is also highly undesirable to use high-speed elliptical canopies. The use of high-speed domes with oblique ribs is PROHIBITED. This restriction is caused by the possibility of ridges of hummocks, ice ledges, ice crevices, rapaks and other obstacles in the area of the jumps. Moreover, if you need to choose a backup landing area, the high-speed canopy may not provide the necessary level of safety. Seven-section parachutes, such as PD Spectre and analogues are ideal for performing such jumps, as they are the most predictable and perfectly controlled in any conditions. The size of the main canopy should usually be at least 150 sq.ft.

Tandem passenger requirements

  • 1) The weight of the tandem passenger must not exceed 130 kg
  • 2) No medical contraindications for parachute jumps in tandem.

ATTENTION:

We advise you optional basic polar expedition clothes kit, but everyone endures cold differently. Therefore, if you have some items in your wardrobe, which are tested in cold environment and suit you, you are welcome to bring them.
