Ø      How does a Skyderman work and what are the safety measures?

Skyderman works on principles of gravity. As the participant occupies his seat in the glider or attaches himself to the safety harness of the parasail on the elevated platform on a hill or a tower, he is ready for the launch. As the pneumatic brakes are released his downward journey starts with wings or parasail above him. He can control his descend speed to his choice with a hand brake provided. The journey from top to bottom is exhilarating and you have made yourself a ‘Skyderman’ who dares!

The safety measures are Speed governor to control the downward speed; Pneumatic brakes to avoid the dashing against the ground as well as unwarranted start in the beginning; Hand brake that gives you speed of your choice, shock absorbers at ground level to absorb the shock should the participant fail to use the hand brake.


Skyderman can be installed in Municipal parks, at Multiplexes or Shopping malls or hill stations.
