Parachute jump is a cherished dream of many people in the world. All parachute clubs have rules that must be followed to make a safe first jump. For the first solo Static Line jump and for the tandem parachute jump, the rules and restrictions are different. Weight is one of the factors that affects your ability to jump.
Tandem skydiving

The weight. The maximum body weight for those wishing to jump with a parachute in tandem with an instructor is 120 kg. There is no minimum threshold for this type of jump.
