The pursuit for the ultimate adrenaline buzz has literally reached new heights as thrill seekers are turning to the skies to test their daring and gain the ultimate adrenaline fix. The last few years has seen a rise in extreme sports such as skydiving and parachuting as it has become more readily available and accessible to the inexperienced. However this search for more extreme sports carries greater risk of injuries such as whiplash as well as more serious injury and even fatality.
Skydiving is known for its association with whiplash. Due to the high impact, the force of landing can jerk the head back causing the hyperextension movement that damages the muscles and ligaments in the neck. However this is can be prevented if safety procedures are followed and the correct equipment is worn.
The British Parachute Association (BPA) has a stringent set of guidelines that all qualified instructors in the UK must comply with. However the cheaper prices and better weather conditions are attracting many adrenaline junkies abroad where such strict guidelines may not be imposed. It is therefore essential that you ensure the skydive school you choose has strict safety procedures in place. Any equipment should be in good working order with no signs of wear or damage. Your instructor should also brief you on safety procedures before you leave the ground to help minimise the risk of any injuries occurring.
Make sure that skydiving is covered under your insurance policy. Read through your insurance documents carefully, many wrongly assume that they will be covered for extreme sports and then are unable to make a claim when necessary. Many companies charge extra for high risk activities such as skydiving so make sure that you are covered.
If you have suffered whiplash during a skydive or other extreme sport for which you believe the adventure sports organiser or tour operator is responsible, you may be entitled to claim.
