What is the minimum number of skydives required for a person to perform a wingsuit jump?

100 skydives
150 skydives
200 skydives
250 skydives

The correct answer is: 200 skydives

To perform a wingsuit jump safely and effectively, the minimum requirement of 200 skydives is set to ensure that the jumper has developed a substantial level of skydiving experience. This experience is crucial because wingsuit flying involves more complex body control and awareness due to the increased aerodynamic factors involved. Having logged at least 200 jumps allows a skydiver to gain proficiency in freefall techniques, emergency procedures, and overall in-air decision-making. Additionally, it provides the necessary time to develop familiarity with canopy flight and landing skills, which are essential since wingsuit jumps present unique challenges during deployment and landing phases compared to traditional jumps. The required number of jumps before transitioning to wingsuit flying ensures that skydivers are adequately prepared to handle the additional risks and complexities associated with this advanced skydiving activity.
