About Indiana

Indiana changes character as you cross it, and you feel that from altitude. The central plains run flat and farmed; southern Indiana folds into hills and forest. Drop zones sit where the views pay off, and tandem jumps are easy to book, a first taste of freefall and a quiet canopy ride, sometimes with a distant skyline or the Wabash River bending across the ground below.

Ready for more, you'll find Accelerated Freefall progression at several Indiana drop zones, structured training that walks students through freefall control and canopy piloting with an instructor right there. With multiple facilities spread across the state, students can pick a drop zone that suits their pace and their drive, and the result is a healthy mix of first-timers and veterans sharing the same loads.

Licensed fun-jumpers tend to settle in fast here. Many facilities carry amenities that support serious training and easy weekends both, and they fill the calendar with events, skill camps, and a range of aircraft, enough to feed everything from relative work to freeflying. Indiana's spot in the middle of the Midwest pulls jumpers in from neighboring states too, keeping the scene lively through the warm months.

Trip guide

Know before you go in Indiana

Confirm current requirements with the agency that sets them before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

  • Minimum Age for Skydiving

    In Indiana, as per USPA Basic Safety Requirements and drop zone policies, individuals must be at least 18 years old to participate in any skydiving activity, including tandem jumps and student training. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required for verification.

  • Medical Fitness for Jumping

    While there isn't a specific state-mandated medical exam for skydiving, all participants are generally required to sign a waiver stating they are in good health and free from certain medical conditions that could pose a risk. Individuals with pre-existing health concerns should consult their doctor and inform the drop zone prior to booking.

  • Waiver and Release Forms

    All skydivers, whether tandem students, AFF students, or licensed jumpers, are required to sign comprehensive liability waivers and assumption of risk forms. These legal documents acknowledge the inherent risks of skydiving and release the drop zone and its personnel from liability. This is a standard practice across all Indiana drop zones.

01What happens if there is bad weather on my scheduled jump day?
Weather decides. If high wind, rain, or low cloud grounds the planes, the drop zone will work with you to rebook for another day, most offer a rain check or a no-penalty reschedule.
02Can I get photos or videos of my skydive?
Most Indiana drop zones sell photo and video packages for tandems. They run extra, and you can add them at booking or on jump day. You'll usually choose between a dedicated videographer or a hand-camera clip shot by your instructor.
03How long does the entire skydiving experience take?
The freefall and canopy ride together run only about five to ten minutes on a tandem, but the whole visit (arrival, ground training, the wait for your load, and the jump), takes roughly two to four hours, longer on busy days.
04Do I need any prior experience to skydive in Indiana?
None for a tandem. It's built for first-timers, with minimal ground training before you jump attached to a certified instructor. AFF asks for a brief ground school before your first solo-assisted jump.
05Is skydiving safe?
It's an adventure sport with real risk, but a heavily regulated one: the FAA oversees it and drop zones run to strict standards, with modern gear, disciplined maintenance, and certified instructors. Tandem skydiving's safety record is strong, and incidents are rare.
06What should I wear for my skydive?
Comfortable athletic clothing for the weather, think light-workout gear, with layers if it's cool. Closed-toe shoes like sneakers are required; sandals, heels, and hook-laced boots are out. The drop zone supplies goggles and a jumpsuit if you need them.
