**Q: What are some alternative activities for people who cannot skydive due to weight restrictions?**
As the person's weight increases, the parachute might be overloaded. This could lead to various complications. For example, the parachute might not open properly or fully, or it could deploy at a slower rate than intended. These scenarios can significantly increase the risk of injury during landing.
<h3>Factors Affecting Weight Restriction</h3>
<h3>1. Seek Out Companies with Higher Weight Limits</h3>
Tandem skydives, where an instructor is attached to the jumper, carry additional weight considerations. The combined weight of the jumper and instructor must be within the tandem system's limits. The instructor's weight will be considered along with the jumper's weight, so the jumper's maximum weight allowance will likely be lower.
