Safety
Safety
is our first priority.
We have an unmatched safety record among skydiving
demonstration teams. Skydiving is an inherently
risky sport but with the advent of modern equipment,
redundant safety systems, automatic parachute openers
and electronic communications, the risk has been
minimized. Doing demonstration jumps requires a
greater level of skill and experience. All
the members of the Skyhawks team have been hand-selected
because of their reputations as world-class demonstration
jumpers. The team trains regularly and maintains
the highest level of proficiency.
All
members of the Arizona Skyhawks demonstration
parachute team are professionally
rated by the United States Parachute Association. This PRO
rating is awarded by the U.S.P.A. only
to skydivers who can master the most difficult
aspects of the sport.
With over 45
years of combined experience and 22,000 jumps,
the Arizona Skyhawks thrill their audiences with
their creativity and precision.
Night Jump Pyrotechnics
The pyrotechnics that the Arizona Skyhawks use
are extremely safe and provide a great deal of
visual excitement to spectators.
The visual effect
of these charges is that of a meteor shower
or shooting star.
These charges are fired off at
1500 feet and above to ensure that all charges
are depleted and cooled off before reaching the
ground. We are also using a roman-candle type
firework for additional visual effect.
All fireworks
are set off at a altitude of at a minimum of
1500 feet to prevent any danger to spectators.
All pyrotechnic packages can hold between 1 and
6 charges per jumper and last 30-45 seconds per
charge. Call us to customize your night demonstration
jump to your every need.
