Without gravity, there would be no atmosphere to skydive in (or breathe!). All the air would simply disperse into space. The pull of gravity gets weaker, the further you are from the Earth, however this is not noticeable by a skydiver jumping from 15,000ft. Gravity helps the air to stay close to the earth. This air can be manipulated to turn, move forwards & backwards, increase and decrease freefall speeds, remain stable and of course help to deploy the parachute.
So yes gravity is vitally important to skydiving and life.

What is the physics involved in skydiving?
Skydiving involves concepts from Newton's laws of motion, particularly the forces of gravity and air resistance. When a skydiver jumps out of a plane, gravity pulls them towards the Earth, creating acceleration. As the skydiver falls, air resistance pushes upward against gravity, eventually reaching a point where these two forces balance out, leading to a constant terminal velocity. This terminal velocity is the speed at which the forces of gravity and air resistance cancel each other out, allowing the skydiver to fall steadily until reaching the ground.
What forces act on you when you jump out of a plane?
When you jump out of a plane, two main forces act on you: gravity, pulling you towards the ground, and air resistance, slowing you down as you fall. Any other forces would be negligible in comparison during a typical skydiving scenario.
Why can you be weightless?
You can be weightless when experiencing free fall, such as in an elevator dropping or skydiving, because you are in a state of apparent weightlessness due to the force of gravity acting equally on you and the objects around you, causing you to float. This sensation occurs when the acceleration from gravity counteracts the force of gravity pulling you downwards, creating a feeling of weightlessness.
How does forces affect the sport of sky diving?
Gravity pulls the skydiver towards the centre of the earth (downwards force). The air causes wind resistance, slowing the sky diver down (upwards force). The wind can also cause a slight sideways force upon the skydiver.
How do natural forces relate to skydiving?
Natural forces such as gravity and air resistance play a critical role in skydiving. Gravity pulls the skydiver towards the ground, causing them to accelerate. Air resistance, or drag, acts in the opposite direction and reduces the speed of the skydiver's fall. By understanding and manipulating these forces, skydivers are able to control their descent and perform maneuvers in the air.
