The safety in tandem jumping as in all other skydiving activities is extremely high. All the equipment is in perfect condition and updated with the latest safety systems. The tandem rigs are especially designed with a bigger canopy in order to hold two people during freefall and canopy flight. On top of that all harnesses are equipped with a reserve parachute, one very similar to the main parachute and have only been minorly or even never used before.
All tandem rigs are equipped with a small computer and automatic activation device (AAD), so in the unlikely case the instructor could not deploy the parachute, the AAD opens the reserve canopyautomatically at a safe altitude. This almost guarantees a 100% safe experience.
And remember! Your instructors are professional skydivers with many years of experience in teaching and competition, and make one thousand or more jumps every year.
