Skydiving is an extreme sport that involves jumping from an aircraft and free-falling before deploying a parachute to slow down for landing. Participants typically wear a jumpsuit and harness, and they may jump solo or in tandem with an experienced instructor. The experience offers a unique perspective of the earth from high altitudes, often around 10,000 to 15,000 feet. Before jumping, skydivers undergo training to understand safety procedures and equipment use. The free-fall lasts for about 30 to 60 seconds, followed by several minutes of descent under the parachute. Skydiving is popular for recreational purposes and is also used in military and emergency situations.
