While tandem skydiving is the most common introduction to the sport, it is not the only way to experience it. Some people know they want to jump solo, while others complete one or two tandems and find themselves wondering: How can you skydive by yourself? 🪂

Ever wondered what keeps a skydiver from falling faster and faster forever? Or how a parachute can transform a 120 mph freefall into a gentle landing? The answer lies in the fascinating physics of skydiving. 👇

Explore the physics of skydiving, including gravity, air resistance, terminal velocity, and how parachutes use drag and lift to slow your descent.

TL;DR: A parachute malfunction rarely means that no parachute appeared at all. More often, the main canopy opened but was not stable, controllable, or suitable for landing. Every tandem system therefore includes a separate reserve parachute, and the instructor is trained to evaluate the main canopy and deploy the reserve when necessary. An automatic activation device provides another layer of backup. As a tandem student, your job is simply to remain calm, listen, and follow your instructor’s directions.

What happens if a parachute doesn't open while skydiving? Learn how reserves, cutaways, AADs, and tandem instructors respond to malfunctions.
