Skydiving is an activity that relies on high-standard equipment for the utmost safety of every skydiver. Besides the main and reserve parachutes, the Skydiving Jumpsuit and other gear are equally important. This article will introduce you to the essential equipment you’ll wear when experiencing Skydiving at Dropzone Thailand.
Skydiving Jumpsuit: More Than Just a Suit
The Skydiving Jumpsuit is a suit specifically designed for skydiving, with the following key features:
- Aerodynamics: The suit helps stabilize your body posture during freefall and makes it easier to control. Some suits have features that help increase or decrease freefall speed.
- Comfort and Safety: Made from durable yet flexible materials, it provides comfort for movement and helps protect your skin from wind friction at high speeds.
- Visibility: Jumpsuits are often brightly colored to ensure instructors or other skydivers can clearly see you in the air.
- Storage Pockets: Some suits have zippered pockets for small, essential items.
Other Essential Equipment You’ll Use for Skydiving:
- Parachute System: Consists of a Main Parachute and a Reserve Parachute. The reserve parachute is packed by a certified expert and is only used in emergencies.
- Harness and Container: This is the part that connects you to the parachute system, made from strong, durable, and adjustable materials to fit your body snugly. In the case of Tandem Skydive, your harness will be securely connected to your instructor.
- Automatic Activation Device (AAD): A small electronic device installed in the parachute system that automatically deploys the reserve parachute if you haven’t deployed your main parachute by a predetermined altitude. It’s a critical safety measure.
- Helmet: Protects your head from impact and helps reduce wind noise during freefall.
- Goggles: Protect your eyes from wind and debris during high-speed descent.
