Skydive Kentucky offers three types of jumps so you can experience the thrill of skydiving.

Skydivers Tandem Skydiving is a popular option for first time jumpers because it offers an introduction to the sport while you are harnessed safely with a trained instructor. After 30 seconds of free-fall you get to pull the ripcord to release the parachute (of course, your instructor will be there to back you up).

Skydive Kentucky also offers Static Line Skydiving. If you are looking to solo jump on your first day, then Static Link Skydiving is for you. On this jump, the skydiver falls away from the plane and the deployment of the main canopy is initiated by a “static line” attached to the aircraft.

Our third type of jump offered at Skydive Kentucky is the Accelerated Freefall. While the training for this type of jump is extensive, you will experience a 50 second free-fall on your first jump. You will exit the plane with two USPA Accelerated Freefall Instructors that maintain a grip on your harness and give you in-air instruction via hand signals.

Whatever jump you decide on, the first rule at Skydive Kentucky is “Have Fun!” So schedule your jump with us today!

Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring this year, which hopefully means great skydiving weather is on the way! And Skydive Kentucky wants you to be as prepared as possible for your upcoming jumps. Join us on Saturday, March 12 at 5:00 PM for Safety Day.

Safety Day is designed to help inform jumpers of new developments and review important information and procedures. We will also have a hands-on review and practice of safety procedures, seminars from skydiving operation professionals and experts and equipment evaluations. Jumpers of all experience levels are welcome to attend this important and fun event. You can also congratulate our newest USPA safety and training advisor, Mike Bratcher. RSVP through our Safety Day Event Page on Facebook and we will see you then!
