How old do you have to be to skydive?

Question

I read on websites that you have to be 18 and no exceptions. But I have heard of people who can do it when they are 16 as long as their parents sign a fourm. Is this true? Do different states have different laws? I live in Michigan.

Answer 1

In texas you must be 18, because you have to sign a contract.  

Answer 2

Might be true about the parent forum, but most likely you have to be 18.
