skydive
A skydive is an activity where a person jumps from an aircraft at high altitude, typically with a parachute to slow their descent. The experience begins with a free fall, where the skydiver accelerates downward due to gravity, reaching high speeds. After a set period, they deploy the parachute, which rapidly slows their fall, allowing for a controlled and gentle landing. Skydiving is often done for recreation, sport, or training, and it requires specialized training to ensure safety and proper technique throughout the jump.
