Review of Skydive Pepperell

A friend of mine booked us a jump at this location...

A friend of mine booked us a jump at this location and it was a lot of fun! The location was pretty straight forward driving to it. They also had covid rules in place that made me feel comfortable with jumping there. The only thing that was a bit off was the liability portion of the experience. I could empathize with a mom and pop location that needs to show you a 15 minute video about all the rights you waive when you decide to jump and all the precautions they take to keep you safe. Totally appreciate it and understand the reason behind it. However, on a surface level it took a bit of the fun out of the skydiving experience before we even jumped. Also, it definitely scares new jumpers more than they need to be scared. That wasn t my first jump so I was fine but it was my friends first jump and it spooked her a little more than what was needed. Sky diving is supposed to be a surreal and memorable experience, so if possible if you could at least have someone at the end of the video or a staff member try to pump people up that would be a good twist to it. Cause it leaves a sour taste in your mouth walking out of the room having signed 10+ waiver papers and seeing that video. Other than that everything was great. Getting the equipment on was easy. Waiting was fine and the plane was clean and spacious. My tandem jumper was wicked nice and made the jump a lot of fun. Even with the lengthy liability stuff the location was fun and would definitely still recommend and I would go back for sure.
