What is sky diving?

Before skydivers jump in the air, they first try to inspect the materials they are going to use to ensure safety. They are supposed to use 2 parachutes during the jump. The first one is the main parachute and the other one is used for emergency purposes. The skydivers place them at their backs. They also go under a discussion with the pilot to know the condition of the weather and which spots the divers are supposed to jump. They also plan the order on which the skydivers are jumping and how to achieve a safe landing. While on the ground,they then practice the moves they're going to do while on the air.

The skydivers then also climb aboard an aircraft and brace themselves for takeoff. The aircraft then climbs up to an altitude of between 10,500 to 13,800 ft. The pilot and another person checks on the spot where the skydivers are going to jump. This stage is called a jump run. Once each skydivers' turn comes,they then step away from the aircraft and execute 1 minute freefalls using their planned maneuvers. They then fall at approximately 120 to 150 mph. They execute their maneuvers such as stretching out their arms and legs to control the air resistance around them. Once they're flying at about 3,900 ft., the group then separates from one another until there's enough space to prevent them from bumping into each other. They wave their arms as a sign of opening their parachutes. They then use a pilot chute which is folded in their parachute system to open the main parachute. As it opens, air enters inside it and it takes the shape of a canopy to slow the skydiver's descent. This act all takes about 3 to 5 seconds. The skydiver controls the parachute's direction by pulling two basic controls called toggles. Pulling one toggle slows and leads the parachute on a certain direction.Pulling both of them slows the person's descent and forwards the speed of the jumper simultaneously. When the skydiver is about to land,he flares the parachute to achieve good landing. They then run on their feet upon landing or roll themselves in a forward manner to avoid further injury.
