A SkyJump is a controlled descent from a high platform or structure using a harness and rope system. Unlike skydiving, which involves exiting an aircraft at altitude, sky jumping usually takes place from a fixed tower or purpose-built structure. Participants step or lean forward into open air before descending under controlled tension, with the system designed to manage speed and landing. It shares some similarities with bungee jumping, but typically involves a more guided, managed lowering rather than an elastic rebound.
ActivitySure can cover doing a SkyJump when you are taking part on an amateur, non-professional basis during your trip abroad. This applies to organised recreational jumps operated by recognised providers. It does not extend to professional stunt work or extreme exhibition activity. While the jump is controlled, the height and nature of the descent mean there is still a risk of impact or harness-related injury.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go sky jumping?
Sky Jump facilities is commonly offered at adventure attractions in cities and tourist destinations with purpose-built towers or elevated platforms. Some well-known international locations (such as Las Vegas or New Zealand) market it as an urban adrenaline experience, often combined with other high-altitude attractions. Participation usually forms part of a guided session with structured safety checks.
Here's why sky jumping travel insurance matters:
Descending from height involves exposure to impact forces and the potential for equipment malfunction or improper positioning. Even with professional supervision, sudden movement or awkward landing can result in strains, sprains or more serious injury. If you are injured while sky jumping abroad, you may require medical assessment, treatment or repatriation to the UK.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and safety guidance given by operators.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment and ensure harnesses are fitted correctly.
- Check that the operator carries out pre-jump safety checks
- Maintain correct body position as instructed during descent.
- Avoid participating in unsuitable weather conditions.

If you are sky surfing, you must declare this activity specifically - claims will not be considered if your activity does not match what you’re doing.
