EXTREME SPORTS

Skydiving is one of the most popular extreme sports in the world, where the adrenaline
rush of high altitudes meets with amazing scenery of the nature and cities. While the idea
of free-falling from the sky might seem scary at first, skydiving is a safe and fun choice
for adventurers of all ages.

Skydiving is an older extreme sport that has been around since the end of 18th century
with the first parachute jump in 1797. The main idea of skydiving is to free-fall until a
certain altitude from an aircraft or a mountain, fly about 30 to 180 seconds, and then
gradually float in the air until you land on safe ground with a parachute. Since 1797, the
sport has come a long way of incredible technological improvements and became a
worldwide attraction.
Breathing
One of the most common misconceptions about skydiving is that you would not being
able to breathe. This is completely wrong and you can absolutely breathe during the
skydiving experience even in extreme speeds like 300 kmh.

Safety
Skydiving is an aerial sport and security measurements should always be the number one
priority. It is possible to think skydiving is dangerous at first, but it is one of the safest
extreme sports with much fewer fatalities than car accidents by ratio in the USA.

Talking
Talking is not possible with other skydivers while you are skydiving since the noise of
the wind would be much higher than a human can exceed. You can still communicate
with your carrier though.
