There’s a weight limit of like 240lbs or something.

Found that out the hard way when we showed up for a jump and my friend was informed that he was too tubby to jump. It would have been nice if they had mentioned that over the phone. None of us jumped that day and I have yet to cross this off my bucket list.

Have never been, but would love to. My wife won't let me, especially after the recent incidents. Good luck and enjoy.

Just an update! We went skydiving today at skydive toronto and it was awesome! I would highly recommend it! Loved and will be definitely going again! Went up to 13000 ft reaching speeds of 120 mph . Free falling 40-50 seconds Never felt like falling feeling like in roller coasters first drop but more of a slow motion gliding/flying feeling . Was so amazing all 14 of us had a great time.
If anyone is thinking of planning to do it . You won't regret it. Best experience! Skydive toronto made our special day! Great people and very friendly! They Love their job check them out!

Chris

Glad to hear you had a great time, but also a bit jealous that I won't be able to enjoy the same experience.
