If we were forced to postpone any/all business activities due to the Government restrictions concerning the Covid-19 outbreak then we would postpone all skydives until a later date and all of our Terms and Conditions laid out below still apply. Please be aware all bookings that were affected by Covid 19 from 2019 and 2020, expired end of November 2021.
Skydiving and parachuting is an activity sport and, as such, a degree of physical fitness is required for some of our courses. All customers must therefore comply with the following age, weight, height and health restrictions:
- All customers are weighed on arrival. Providing false or inaccurate information in advance may result in your exclusion from the course. Max 15 stone Min 8 stone.
- As our concern is for your safety, we reserve the right to refuse training at the Chief Centre Instructor’s (CI) discretion. In addition, to improve safety, the CI may choose to postpone a jump if weather conditions are not suitable for an individual student at that time.
- For Accelerated freefall course, all students must be within their Body Mass Index (BMI). Participating in parachuting and skydiving courses above the weights and heights specified significantly increases your risk of injury on landing.
- If you have a medical condition or injury at any age, you must inform us and may be required to get a medical form signed in advance. If you are in any doubt as to your physical ability to take part in the skydive then you must consult your doctor.
Date changes and cancellation policy
- The date of your tandem skydive may be changed providing we have a minimum of 14 days’ notice. There is no charge for this. If you change your date within 14 days of your skydive, then a rebooking fee will be applied. This is currently £50pp.
- If you cancel your skydive and do not intend to rebook, please note all monies paid will be non refundable.
- Due to the intensive and personalised nature of the AFF course places are limited to 6 per instructor. Therefore please contact us immediately by phone on 01524 791820 if there is a problem with your course date. Whilst we do our best to accommodate our customer’s needs, we reserve the right to apply charges.
- After starting your course, if you do not attend the centre within your time limit for a refresher, your training will then expire and would have to start the course again.
In order to book a new date for your AFF course the relevant charge must be paid in advance.
Please note that it is the student’s responsibility to inform us of any changes to your personal details (age/weight/height/medical conditions). If you are outside the restrictions for the course on arrival and are unable to participate then we reserve the right to charge for the full cost of the course.
Charity Skydives
By taking part in a Skydive for charity you agree:
- That if you intend to cover the cost of the skydive with sponsorship money you will aim to meet the minimum fundraising target set by the charity, otherwise you will cover the remaining amount yourself and/or pull out of the event and refund all monies to the sponsors.
- To make every effort to exceed the minimum target
- To send on any additional funds raised directly to the charity within the timeframe agreed. Failure to do so is considered theft.
- To make clear to sponsors if you are not paying for the skydive yourself and that the cost will be covered with some of their sponsorship money
- That if you are fundraising for a charity of your own choice to contact them and agree the use of funds and the minimum sponsorship target required directly with them. Fundraising targets set by Black Knights Skydiving Centre are recommendations only.
- By taking part in a Skydive for a Black Knights Skydiving Centre chosen charity, you agree that your contact details may, if required, be given to the charity that you have booked to fundraise for. This is so that they may support you with your fundraising efforts and arrange to collect any additional sponsorship after the jump. Your details will not be passed on by us to any other third party for any reason.
