Notes

Skydive Spain S L & Sky Science and its staff are all members of The British Parachute Association and all training and systems in place are based on its operations manual as approved by the UK CAA.

Skydive Spain S L & Sky Science and its staff are all members of the USA Powered parachute association Aero Sports Connection (ASC) and all training and systems in place are based on its operations manual as approved by the USA FAA.

Although statistics prove skydiving and powered parachuting to be nothing like as high risk as some people may perceive, it can never be entirely risk-free, as with any action sport. The risk is reduced to an acceptable level by strict operational procedures but can never be entirely eliminated. Skydivers and Pilots must therefore voluntarily accept an element of risk.

However it is prudent to always insure against any risk and a list of companies who insure against skydiving accidents is available on request.
