Join us at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough for an RNIB Skydive to raise awareness for World Sight Day. Jump from over 10,000 feet - freefalling 5,000 feet at 120 miles per hour! No need to get fit, just fundraise! This is set to be a fantastic day, so sign up today and be a part of World Sight Day.
This is a fully accessible event, blind and visually impaired adults and teenagers are encouraged to take part in this once in a life time experience with RNIB.
What's involved in the skydive?
Experience the adrenaline rush of a lifetime as you skydive from 2 miles high. You will be securely harnessed to your own tandem skydive instructor, who will take good care of you throughout your experience. Together you will exit the aircraft at approx 13,000ft, and freefall for about 50 seconds reaching a maximum speed of 120 mph!
Around 6000ft your instructor will deploy your parachute; once the parachute has fully opened you'll experience the scenic, peaceful ride under the canopy for around five to seven minutes.
This literally is the chance of a lifetime as it is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without becoming a freefall parachutist!
As this is a tandem skydive no previous experience is required and training will be provided on the day. With a very reasonable fundraising target, what better way to raise awareness for blind and partially sighted people than screaming it from the skies?
Other than a fear of heights, you have no reason to not sign up today! To take part, all you have to do is pay £50 on registration and then fundraise a further £300.
