Do it, my DS was 4 when I did my first jump (static line from 3500 feet).

I did have to stop eventually when the mortgage company wouldn't re-insure me if I continued as I'd landed badly and fractured my coccyx and chipped my hip bone. Ruddy spoilsports Xmas Smile, must admit the bad landing did dint mky confidence though.

If you do a tandem freefall you are jumping with an experienced insyructor so risk is low.

If Accelerated freefall or static line risk is higher. You can buy one off insurance for £20- £30 would recommend i8t. If you continue you can look at a longer term insurance.

It will be the best thing you have ever done - go for it, you will not regret it. Read this www.bpa.org.uk/stay-safe/how-safe and ignore the killjoys
