Parachuting is an activity where individuals jump from an aircraft and descend to the ground using a parachute. This sport can be done for recreation, military purposes, or as part of training. The parachute slows down the fall, allowing for a safe landing. Before jumping, parachutists typically undergo training to learn about safety procedures, equipment, and techniques. They use various types of parachutes, including round parachutes and ram-air parachutes, which are designed for different experiences and purposes. Parachuting can also be combined with other activities, such as skydiving and BASE jumping.
