The dual-harness system in skydiving allows individuals with a wide range of disabilities to be accommodated securely, ensuring many can experience the joy of freefall with the right support.
Skydiving centers are now adopting an all-inclusive approach, catering to blind, low-vision, deaf, hard of hearing, and neurodiverse individuals, providing the respect and encouragement they deserve to enjoy the sport like everyone else.
For individuals with disabilities, skydiving experiences are adapted with verbal cues, sign language, and visual communication methods to make the adventure vivid and exhilarating in a unique way, allowing participants like Sarah, who is blind, to feel like flying in a world of sound.
In a remarkable feat, bobsleigh Paralympian Lonnie Bissonnette performed the first skydive ever in a wheelchair, rolling out of the aircraft and freefalling while seated in his manual chair, displaying the inclusive nature of the sport.
