Would Skydiving be appropriate for a disabled/neurodiverse adult?
It's something that's been on my "Bucket list" for a few years, my Taekwondo boss is in the process of doing it forCharity.
I'd love to try it dressed as a bird (with all the safety gear on obviously), to pretend I'm flying lol.
Anyway, would they let a disabled guy do it on safety grounds?

Hello @SheffieldMan1976
I know many disabled people who have skydived, so it is definitely possible.

Thanks, I'll do some Googling for local venues.

I was refused last year about this time, even just a tandem jump. It will depend how physically disabled you are i suppose. There is a requirement to step onto the ground on landing, plus of course safely boarding the aircraft in the first place.

Good point.
I somehow doubt it'd be a feasible idea but it was just something I thought of.

Don't let me put you off, you can always enquire.

Well I've just seen this on YouTube, footage of a disabled girl Skydiving.
Looks like I could give it a go after all.

You could always try one of those sky diving training wind tunnels to see if its suitable for you, before you commit to skydiving. I know they have them around the UK, theres one not too far from me.

Yeah according to my Googling there's an indoor place in Manchester, Trafford Way.

if you cant afford £10 debt to ebay you might need to put ideas like this on hold and get things in order, debt is no joke, you should get this sorted
i got in debt doing stupid things and took a lot of work to sort out, but so worth not having the stress

It's not £10, it's now £39.58, thing is, there was an ad on TV last week claiming it's free to sell on eBay, it clearly isn't.

it only isnt if you pick their premium options, it does show costs when you list things and you agree to amount when selling. they will keep adding fees and fines the more you dont pay it so this amount will get bigger and bigger
