Skydiving

Websites such as Do It For Charity and Click and Jump have information on where one can skydive for charity. Many skydiving services will not charge for the skydive if it is being done for charity.

There not too much math involved. The only thing you need to be able to do is read the numbers on an altimeter. Fortunately, the altimeter face looks like a clock so it should be familiar to most people. Choosing altitudes can use some minimal math skills. For example; you want to make a ten second free fall and you know that the drop zone wants you to open at three thousand feet. In ten seconds you will fall 1,138 feet, so you would have to jump at 4,200 feet or higher to open at an appropriate altitude.

Panicking in freefall is not typical at all. Without mental control of your faculties you would be a liability to your self and others. On the very rare occasion, there are tandem skydivers who refuse to jump at the door. They simply land with the aircraft, however it must be stressed this is rare. The vast majority of jumpers go on the have a very enjoyable experience and it is not dominated by sheer terror. The experience is instead thrilling, exhilarating and repeatable.

Firstly, make sure nobody is skydiving at the same time to avoid collisions. Second, always deploy your parachute early enough, depending on your experience level. Third, be careful when executing maneuvers in midair after deploying the parachute.

Wingsuits are built from a variety of materials, mostly ripstop nylon, with a lot of reinforcing. The 'wings' are actually inflating with air and taking on an airfoil shape when in flight, which creates the lift to glide further.

Trauantuala bites aren't very deadly, and most skydivers survive to pack up and do it again, multiple times per day in many cases. I have in excess of 3,700 skydives and lived to type this answer!!

Yes, I would highly recommend buying a face shield for skydiving. Ask your instructor what is the best face shield to use as he would most likely have the most knowledgeable answer.

For the most part, you have to be 18 years old. A select few places will let 16 year olds jump with parental consent.

Skydiving isn't too risky. Only about 1 in 10,000 skydives result in injuries, and the majority of injuries are small cuts, grazes or sprains on the landing. Most of these are by professional jumpers.

Indoor skydiving is currently not available.

Minimum age 16 with parent's permission, otherwise 18. Maximum age is not defined by the FAA or USPA (United States Parachute Association).

However, individual dropzones are allowed to make their own rules regarding maximum age. Most of the time, if you're physically up to it, they'll let you go.

only if ur doodle shows. [aka: peepee]

yes it will

yes it is heavy, but when ur flying u cant even tell.

Call your local drop zone and schedule a tandem or AFF jump. Most drop zones welcome people to come out and watch too.

Yes, unless speaking about parachutists who refer to free fall as falling through the air without opening their parachutes.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

well, airgasms is a very slang term the true feeling you get is called G-force, very similar to the feeling you get on roller coasters. This occurs when one object moves faster than the object it is holding. everything in your body is moving slower than your body itself, giving you an Airgasm.

Yes, but the all-women display team that did so would not be impressed by that description.....

No. It depends. If this is your cousin's first time going skydiving, you should be worried. If your cousin has many dives under his/her belt, then you shouldn't be too worried.
