I’ve always been interested in sky diving but I heard u can’t do it if you have a Mental illness

I’m talking about sky diving by myself not with someone else?

Don’t do it. You’ll pull the wrong cord or something due to concentration issues and splat.

I think you have to jump in tandem with someone else so many times before they let you go solo.

Yea it costs a 1000 dollars and I do 10 jumps before I can go solo.

But I’m wondering if I have to fill out a form that asks if I suffer from MI…

$weet @anon20318121. If can you should totally do it. Call the DZ and find out for sure. If that doesn’t work try scuba diving also cool. I was certified at 16.

I am not sure anyone knows the answer to this question. My advice would be why not? There is no strong data in the literature that argues either way. Search your skydive guidelines for disease restrictions.

The concern is if you have any other difficulties with balance, coordination or strength. This would be a good question to ask your psychiatrist. Of course, “is it safe?” is relative - there are risks to skydiving, regardless of whether or not you have a mental illness.
