Skydive the Falls LLC.
DROP ZONE CONTRACT December 26, 2024 REFUND POLICY The deposit of $100 fee you paid is for the training and holding your reservation. This is a NON REFUNDABLE deposit. Once fully paid there is no refund for any reason. If bad weather cancels your skydive you will have the option to reschedule to a later date. I Agree MEDICAL POLICY We do not employ a medical doctor to determine your physical jump readiness. If you have physical problems which may inhibit your jumping in any way, DO NOT JUMP and consult independent medical advice. Training and jumping consists of various procedures, any one of which can result in bodily injury. It is up to you to determine whether your body can handle the rigors of parachute jumping. BAD WEATHER POLICY In the event that it is determined that conditions are not safe for you to jump, you may return and make your jump during our open hours. If the time period between your training and your jump exceeds 30 days, you must attend another first jump class as a refresher. There is no charge for this additional retraining if you have not yet jumped. These are unavoidable facts of skydiving life: 1. The instructors, pilots, riggers and ground crew are humans who are capable of making mistakes, which may result in your injury or even death. 2. Your equipment has been designed by human beings and can malfunction. 3. Your training cannot be totally adequate because there is no physical way to simulate the freefall sensation while remaining on the ground. To simulate it, you must do it. 4. In order to skydive you must take the airplane ride. Jumping out of an aircraft is one of the most dangerous things that you can do. We tell you this repeatedly so that you cannot say we told you it was safe. It is not. We do NOT guarantee that either or both of your parachutes will open properly. We do NOT guarantee that our staff will function without error. We do NOT guarantee that you will land in the right field. We do NOT guarantee that any of our back-up devices will function properly and we CERTAINLY DO NOT guarantee that you won't get hurt. You may get hurt EVEN IF YOU DO EVERYTHING CORRECTLY! The human body is not designed for the downward impact you receive upon landing, and it may break. NEGLIGENCE is defined by Webster as "failing to exercise due care. YOU are negligent (failing to exercise due care) by even attempting to skydive. Negligence could also mean poor equipment, bad training, misrepresentations as to the safety of skydiving, physical or judgmental errors by the staff, or other unforeseeable situations. If training or equipment is not acceptable to you, or we misrepresented the safety of the sport, or if you think the staff is not capable of working with you, DON'T JUMP and insist on better gear, training, or different staff to help you. The time for these types of decisions is BEFORE you jump, not after. “I have read the explanation above.” MEDICAL STATEMENT I recognize that the sport of parachuting is a strenuous athletic endeavor requiring me to be in good physical condition, and that even if in good physical condition, I may suffer or become prone to knee, neck, back, or other degeneration or ailments.
