By positioning their bodies, they can move horizontally or vertically just like any gliding creature. Why? because it's great fun!

How Do They Do It - 2006 Bullet Proof Vests Robots Formation Skydivers 4-1 was released on: USA: 4 April 2007
Pilots can be certified skydivers. However, if they jump, the plane crashes.
Around 13,000 ft for a tandem jump and about 3,500 ft for a static line jump but more experienced skydivers can go much higher.
True. Every second of a jump is in freefall from when the jumper leaves the plane until the deployment sequence begins.
The duration of The Skydivers is 1.25 hours.
Skydiving is an aerial sport where skydivers jump from airplanes, helicopters and hot air balloons. Only occasionally do skydivers land in the water and that is usually by accident during an 'off-landing'. Sometimes, intentional water jumps are conducted as part of advanced ratings.
The record for a freefall formation is currently 400. That said, how many skydivers could be in the air at any one time is limited by the number of aircraft and skydivers that could be gathered. If the area was large enough, enough lift, etc, it could be thousands.
The soaring skydivers swept along the sky.
The Skydivers was created on 1963-11-13.
At Skydive Miami, a tandem skydive is $229. For experienced skydivers, a jump ticket is $25 going to 13500 ft. If you would like a video it costs $79.
Yes, skydivers do spend the first several seconds of their jump in free fall. They do not usually open their parachutes until they are about 2,000 feet above the ground. Opening the parachute too soon might cause the parachutist go extremely way off course or result in an updraft that will cause injury.
