Sky Diving.
Why Do People Skydive? From the adrenaline rush to the quiet beauty of riding down to earth under one of today's modern parachutes, skydiving has it all.
Who can skydive? Anyone in reasonable physical condition.
Most beginners will do their first skydive in tandem with an experienced instructor. Both the student and the instructor are attached to the same parachute system.They freefall together for 30 to 50 seconds, depending on jump altitude--typically 10,000 to 13,000 feet--and descend together under a single large parachute with dual controls.
See a video of a tandem skydive.
