A recent craze, growing in popularity, is tandem jumping. In this kind of parachuting, the paying customer is strapped to an instructor and jumps out of an aeroplane with him from 3600 meters.Because he is with an instructor who knows exactly what he is doing and does all the work, the customer does not need weeks of training to accomplish his jump. This means that the jump can be made from a greater height than with conventional commercial parachute jumps, and these jumps involve real skydiving - falling through the air before opening the parachute. The instructors also use a square, steerable parachute that glides rather than falling to the ground, which adds to the excitement.
