Where in the state of ks. or mo. can you go skydiving if you are not 18?
It is unlikely that you can find a skydiving location in the USA that will take anyone under the age of 18. Due to the risk involved, most skydiving places have you sign a waiver, as well as a contract of services, and a release of liability, as well as a contract of defenses, all in one agreement. These legal agreements often give up specific rights to sue, etc. And given that it is a legal and binding contract, it has to be signed by someone capable of signing a legal and binding contract. Typically, in almost all states, that is someone 18 years of age.
And no, your parents cannot sign it, as they cannot sign away your legal rights to sue.

What are the aims of sky diving?
Essentially, the aims of skydiving are as follows:
- To exit an aircraft and experience the joy of freefall.
- To open your main parachute safely at an altitude of not less than 2500ft.
- To navigate to the dropzone (you should open above it), avoid canopy collisions and land safely back on the dropzone.
The freefall part of skydiving is the most enjoyable part and experienced skydivers do not go through each jump, wondering if they will make back to terra firma without an accident. Instead, they are concentrating on falling relative to their friends and trying to achieve an objective. That objective can be for example docking on a formation, tracking (moving forwards) in a group, performing an artistic routine.

The Allies believed parachuting troops into France was an effective strategy because it allowed for rapid deployment behind enemy lines, disrupting German defenses and supply routes. This tactic aimed to create confusion and chaos, facilitating the main invasion force's landing on the beaches of Normandy. Additionally, airborne troops could capture key objectives, such as bridges and communication centers, before the bulk of the forces arrived, thereby increasing the chances of a successful invasion. Overall, it was seen as a way to maximize the element of surprise and enhance operational flexibility.
