Emma's story
Emma took part in a skydive for Epilepsy Action and raised over £400:
“Taking part in the skydive for Epilepsy Action was one of the best things I have ever done. I am still smiling two days later! The jump was breathtaking and unlike anything I have ever experienced. Epilepsy Action were so supportive throughout and I am so proud that I could jump for this amazing charity. If you can do it – do it! You won’t regret it.”
Already booked your own skydive?

Skydiving and epilepsy
Taking part in a tandem skydive is possible for many people with epilepsy.
The British Parachute Association says you can take part in a tandem skydive (where you are attached to a professional) if:
- You have been seizure free for the last two years, and
- You have not had any changes to your medicine in this period
You will need to get your doctor to sign a medical certificate. Solo skydiving is not considered safe for people with epilepsy.
