Skydiving is an extreme sport where individuals jump from an aircraft and free-fall before deploying a parachute to slow their descent. Participants typically wear a harness attached to a parachute and may jump solo or with an 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 learn safety procedures and how to control their parachute. The free-fall lasts for about 30 to 60 seconds, followed by several minutes of gliding down to the ground. Skydiving is popular for its adrenaline rush and breathtaking views.
