Children do need to fit a standard adult skydiving harness however, as there are no specific child harnesses. Each child will be assessed on a case by case basis with the skydive instructor prior to skydiving on the day to see if they are safe to skydive.
I just went scuba diving and my left ear did not equalize and it has been hurting the last few days but has gotten better recently. Is it alright to participate in skydiving
Comments
Sorry to hear about your year. People with ear problems from scuba diving can also have issues equalising when skydiving. It's not normally as bad as the pressure isn't usually as great as underwater but it may pay to check with your doctor or physician first to ensure you are ok to skydive in Taupo. If you are still unsure then you could opt for a lower altitude skydive as the pressure wont be as high on your ears. (ie. don't go for the 15000ft jump)

Hi guys. Was thinking of treating my 12 year old daughter to a jump. I would be jumping as well. Would we be able to see each other on the way down?
There is no age limit but we don’t encourage anyone under 10 years old. If you are under 18 years of age, you will need a parent or guardian to sign the consent form on your behalf. Young children are assessed on a case-by-case basis. It will depend on whether they can fit properly into the harness. You must be 17 years and above to do the 18,500ft jump.
