The Parachute Regiment Freefall Team 'The Red Devils'

The Red Devils are the official parachute display team for both the Parachute Regiment ('The PARAS') and the British Army.
This World’s most famous parachute display team creates spectacular displays at hundreds of public events each year.  By attracting positive publicity through the media they support the Parachute Regiment and the British Army’s recruiting campaign.
Over the years the Red Devils have also used this media exposure to benefit their partnerships with select charities offering tandem skydive experiences to aid them with their fund raising efforts.

The team is made up of 25 serving soldiers from the Parachute Regiment's three full-time Battalions: 1, 2 & 3 PARA. Every member of the team has served a minimum of three years in a Parachute Regiment Battalion and has taken part in at least one operational tour of duty in either: The Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and or Iraq.

Tandem Skydive

This exciting day will involve an introduction to the Red Devils Team followed by 30 minutes of ground training. After a short time, your individual instructor will fit you with a specialised harness and prepare you for your jump. After a 15 minute flight whilst looking at some incredible views of England you will reach jump altitude roughly 2 miles up or down however you wish to think of it, you will exit the aircraft and experience a thrilling 45- seconds of freefall as you and your instructor reach speeds in excess of 120mph freefalling through the air. At about 5000ft your instructor will open the parachute and you will begin your 5 minute scenic parachute descent expertly guided down to the drop zone, landing to the cheers of your friends & family.

Special Tandem Skydive

This unique event promises to be a once in a lifetime experience, giving you the star treatment from arrival.

The Team Commander will personally welcome you and your supporters and introduce you to his team.  You will receive bespoke one to one training from your dedicated instructor, who will prepare you fully for your skydive.

After a short ride in the aircraft and at an altitude of approximately 13,000ft you and your instructor will exit the aircraft followed by three other Red Devils. Two will dive and ‘dock on’ during freefall using coloured smoke to dramatic effect whilst you experience a thrilling 45 seconds of freefall then an exhilarating canopy ride. The third Red Devil will capture all of this on film and digital photographs which you will receive professionally edited and presented on DVD.

Upon landing you will be presented with a bottle of champagne and a certificate signed by the entire Red Devils team. To take advantage of this amazing experience you will need to raise a minimum sponsorship of £1000 (this includes a non-refundable deposit of £100 with a minimum of £400 for your charity).
Great fun skydiving with the Red Devils over the Cotswold Water Park.

Restrictions

Age – Skydiving carries a minimum age limit of 16 years.  Participants between the ages of 16 and 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign the parental consent form (enclosed).  For tandem skydives, there is no upper age limit but anyone aged 40+ will require a medical form signed by their doctor (enclosed).  Similarly, anyone less than 40 who suffers from any of the medical conditions listed on the back of the form will also need it signed by their doctor.
 
Weight – Skydiving with the Red Devil’s does carry weight restrictions.  The maximum weight limit is approximately 15_ stone.  It is important that you have a basic level of fitness and your weight should be proportional to your height.

Disabilities – Many disabled people have jumped over the years, however, this does depend on the severity of the disability so please call Click and Jump to discuss the options available on an individual basis.

DVD and Photographs

For many people a tandem skydive is a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. Having the jump filmed and photographed can be important, particularly if you want to re-live the experience from the comfort of an armchair!  Should you choose to have your Tandem experience filmed you can book your DVD on arrival or through Click and Jump in advance.  There is an additional charge of £90 for this service. You are welcome to use your own camera on the ground, but it will not be permitted in the aircraft.  There will be designated spectator areas where your family and friends can use their cameras but they will not be permitted to go out to the aircraft or landing area.

Insurance

All participants will be covered by British Parachute Association third party liability insurance which is included in the cost of your jump.  However, if you wish to take out additional personal accident insurance, please refer to the brochure enclosed, visit www.extremeplus.co.uk  quoting Click and Jump or contact Click and Jump for further details.

Spectators

You will probably wish to share your skydive experience with your family and friends. The Red Devils welcome spectators. Children are also welcome, but please do be aware that your skydive experience can take all day and most centres do not have facilities in place for children so make sure you bring enough activities to keep them entertained -the novelty of watching parachutes soon begins to wane.  As a general rule dogs are not allowed on Drop Zones due to dangers of aircraft movements. Guide dogs are permitted.

Facilities

The parachute centres have a café on site which will provide hot and cold drinks and snacks.   You are welcome to bring your own picnic. If you require further information on accommodation, or a list of local B&B’s then please contact Click and Jump.
