    You'll be grand. The cutoff is in around 16 stone. They have a cutoff weight because firstly, the heavier you are the faster your parachute will fly and secondly the parachute and equipment can only handle a certain weight.

    Jeepers is right, 13 stone is fine. Presumably you mean a tandem skydive? The cutoff is about 15 or 16 stone for the reasons given.

    13 stone is below the limit but you also need to be height and weight proportionate

    I doubt you will have a problem but if your 4ft tall and 13stone you wouldn't be able to do it
