Stag do with a skydive

The trouble with a stag do is that everyone already knows how it goes. A skydive fixes that in a few seconds, because nobody in the group knows how they will react until they are in the door of an aircraft at 4,000 metres. It works even when only half the party jumps and the rest watch from the ground.

Why it fits a stag do

• No preparation. Nobody needs training, experience or kit — the instructor carries all of it.
• It films well. The camera-flyer variant produces footage that spreads through the group on its own.
• It takes half a day, not a weekend. The rest of the plan survives intact.
• You jump one after another, so the group watches each other exit and land.
• Not everyone has to jump. People who are only watching pay nothing.

Group pricing

The more people on one order, the lower the price. The discount applies automatically, across the whole order.

• Two people — 2% off.
• 3 or more — 5% off.
• 5 or more — 8% off.

If the group is clubbing together for the groom alone, one voucher is enough — it can be made out in his name and sent ready to hand over. How that works is on the voucher page.

Organising it

1. 01Agree who jumps and in which variant. They do not all have to match.
2. 02Buy the vouchers on one order — that is what triggers the group discount. Each voucher can carry a different name.
3. 03Once the transfer clears, the codes arrive by e-mail, usually within one business day.
4. 04Use them to book one date together. Say it is a single group and we will run you back to back.
5. 05Arrive together on the day. Short briefing, kit, aircraft.

Vouchers are valid for 12 months, so the date can be set long after the purchase — and moved if the wedding shifts or the weather does not cooperate.

What we will not promise

Jumping depends on the weather and there is no way around that. If the wind is too strong or the cloud too low on the day, we move it — which is why a stag do should aim at a date with room before the wedding rather than the evening before. The voucher loses nothing. Your nerves might.
