Tandem Skydive Risk Disclosure This Risk Disclosure covers INFLITE Group Ltd and its subsidiaries including INFLITE Ltd and Skydive Franz Josef and Fox Glacier and its products. By signing this form, I acknowledge and agree that: If I am permitted by INFLITE Ltd to skydive, I do so at my own risk entirely, and I have no claim whatsoever against INFLITE Limited, its directors, instructors, employees, contractors or agents, in the event of injury or death to myself or damage to or loss of any of my possessions or any other loss in respect of or arising out of any activities undertaken with INFLITE Ltd, including but not limited to skydiving (Activities); I have no claim against the owner, operator or lessee of any aircraft, or any landowner or lessee with regard to the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 in respect of or arising out of the Activities; Skydiving statistically is safer than many activities but that participating in skydiving carries risk that may result in serious injury or death, like other sport activities; Like all aviation activities, skydiving exposes the participant to rapid changes in ambient air pressure, which can cause discomfort in the ears and sinuses and, in very rare cases, permanent damage when participants do not equalize their ears/sinuses during descent. Participating in skydiving with a cold or flu increases the risk of pain or physical damage to the participant. Skydiving from higher altitudes also increases this risk. It is my responsibility as the participant to equalize my ears/sinuses via the Valsalva or other technique as demonstrated to me by INFLITE Ltd as required. INFLITE Ltd takes no responsibility for ear/sinus pain or damage as a result of my participating in skydiving; The instructor of INFLITE Ltd may refuse to allow me to skydive at any time if they considers it advisable at their absolute discretion; I understand that INFLITE Ltd reserves the right to suspend or cancel operations at any time for any reason at its sole discretion and I will only be rescheduled for a skydive if there is space available; I understand that INFLITE Ltd reserves the right to limit the altitude of my skydive should temperatures fall below the recommended minimum temperature. INFLITE Ltd cameras are subject to extreme conditions, and on occasions they fail to function properly. If for any reason, INFLITE Ltd is unable to produce any product ordered, I may be given the option of purchasing the portion of the product that is available at a discounted rate or will be given a full refund on the product; While INFLITE Ltd will always endeavor to group parties together for their skydive, this may not be possible as loading the aircraft efficiently and safely takes precedence; If after takeoff, you change your mind about participating in the skydive and/or you present a safety concern via the inability to follow instructions given or any other reason your instructor may deem it necessary/appropriate to abort the skydive and land you with the plane. NO refund will be given if the jump is aborted due to your or the instructors decision not to skydive once the aircraft has taken off. If I am a visitor to New Zealand, I understand that it is strongly recommended that I have full insurance cover in place, including for medical treatment, prior to undertaking my skydive; MEDICAL CONDITIONS; I confirm I am physically fit and able to participate in this activity, and I have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical person.
I consent to receive any first aid that may be deemed necessary by INFLITE Group staff in the event of injury, accident or illness while undertaking the activities.
I understand it is my responsibility to consult with a medical professional (health or otherwise) prior to undertaking this skydiving activity if I believe there is any health condition that may affect my ability to participate in this activity. - FOR PASSENGERS GOING TO 16,500ft AND HIGHER ONLY -
NZPIA High Altitude Descent Course for Tandem Passenger Introduction
This Course is designed to educate and inform you of:
1. The increased safety risks associated with descents from higher altitudes;
2. Management of risks, including the use of oxygen equipment;
3. Symptoms of hypoxia. Risks of High Altitude Parachuting
Although precautions are taken to reduce the effects of increased altitude, there are added risks associated with skydiving from higher altitudes compared with lower altitudes, including: reduced oxygen (hypoxia), exposure to colder temperatures, higher speeds and the potential for added stress on your body and the equipment.
Skydiving from and above 13,000 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) is not recommended for anyone suffering from cold/flu, sinus discomfort or pressure, hangover, diarrhea, headache or certain injuries.
You must inform a staff member if you suffer from any of the above. Management of Risks
The use of supplementary oxygen is required for all descents from and above 13,000 feet AMSL. Your Tandem Master will instruct you in the use of oxygen and any other requirements for your high altitude descent.
You will be supplied with an oxygen mask; your Tandem Master will instruct you when and how to place the supplied mask onto your face, and will ensure a secure fit. You must continue using the mask until you are told to remove it by your Tandem Master or another staff member. You must comply with your Tandem Master’s instructions at all times. Symptoms of Hypoxia
Some of the effects of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) are listed below. You must alert your Tandem Master if you experience any of these symptoms at any time in the aircraft, e.g. by tapping their leg to get their attention and pointing at the mask. Fatigue
Headache
Clumsiness
Hyperventilation
Blueish fingernails
Poor memory
Poor reasoning / judgement
Loss of time awareness
Emotional outbursts
Loss of muscular control
Euphoria (irrational sense of wellbeing)
Dimming, blurry vision or tunnel vision
General slowness of thought
Fixation on unimportant tasks NOTE: A complication of hypoxia is that you may not be aware of the onset of symptoms. Your Tandem Master has completed a more comprehensive high altitude descent course and is trained to monitor you for any symptoms of hypoxia.
By signing below, you acknowledge that you understand the information in this course, and accept the increased risks of skydiving from a higher altitude.
Course administrator : _____ Henry Morgan NZPIA 2985 __ All courses must be kept on file for a minimum of three (3) years, and forwarded to the NZPIA on request.
FOR NZPIA-AUTHORISED USE ONLY Rev. 0 – Oct 2018 I have read the Risk Disclosure above and acknowledge and agree that the Risk Disclosure applies in all regards to the Activities that I undertake with INFLITE Ltd. Today's Date: April 26, 2025
