Forums: Community: Skydivers with Disabilities: Epilepsy and Tandem jumps

SkyBastard Nov 24, 2008, 10:19 PM Post #1 of 2 (638 views) Shortcut Epilepsy and Tandem jumps Can't Post Hey everyone, Just wondered if it's possible for someone with epilepsy to do a tandem jump. Reason being my father has epilepsy and has always wanted to jump, but since being diagnosed he just gave up on the idea. Is it a big problem for tandem jumps if you mention the E word? Thanks for any replies in advance

Is it okay with his MD. Based on your responses, I can give you an opinion, as a tandem master, if he has been seziure free for a while, if he is taking his beds as ordered and if it's okay with his MD, I would have no problem taking him on a tandem.
