Tandem skydive + Handy Cam Video
Practical information
Skydive Saint-Ghislain uses equipment specially created for a tandem jump. This includes two large parachutes (main canopy and a reserve canopy), as well as a harness that will firmly attach you to your instructor.
The equipment is recent and renewed regularly and created by renowned manufacturers. Most of the gear used is by UPT Vector Sigma®, an absolute reference in the skydiving industry. They are fitted with an automatic activation system called Vigil® that will open up should your main canopy malfunction, keeping you safe no matter what. All skydiving instructors at Skydive Saint-Ghislain have to use this equipment.
