When it comes to skydiving, safety is the most important element, and safety is embedded into every skydive whether it be a tandem or AFF jump. If your doing a tandem jump, you don't have to worry about emergency procedures because the instructor is responsible for that, you just have to trust him because he is more trained than you!
From your very first jump, especially AFF - Accelerated Free Fall (when you learn to jump on your own), safety procedures are constantly applied and continuously asked of you. Safety and emergency procedures are closely monitored when you do an AFF jump, and you will constantly be quizzed throughout your first twenty five jumps when you are learning to jump on your own until you get your "A" license.
Safety is crucial to enjoying this unique sport and the secret to longevity in skydiving. For more information on this, visit the Skydive-Info Forums
If you want to relax on the skydive and see what skydiving is like without having all the responsibility of emergency procedures on your shoulders, than do a tandem jump with a tandem instructor. That is why they invented the tandem, so you can enjoy your jump, leaving the responsibility to your instructor to handle, instead of it being entirely up to you.
