Skydiving

You can get a square parachute to descend extremely rapidly - indeed, there have been a number incidents (sometimes involving fatalities) when skydivers 'spiralling' close to the ground have had their reserve parachutes deployed automatically by the Automatic Opening Device (sometimes call the Automatic Activation Device). Indeed, a skydiver was killed a few weeks ago in Bad Lippspringe, Germany because he turned rapidly too close to the ground.

A round parachute would, depending on your weight, let you down faster than a square on 'half brakes', although some small squares (<170 sq ft) would give you a pretty heavy bump unless you flared just before landing.

Any skydiver can fall at a constant velocity. This is called the, "Terminal velocity".

Since we do not have the picture that you mention, nothing more can be assumed.

You certainly can.

Gravity.

We call it "skydiving". Actually the term skydiving was coined in the 1950s and came into popular use in the 1970s and 1980s. Up until that time what we do was most commonly referred to as "sport parachuting."

There are basically 2 major expenses for sky-diving: 1. Equipment: It can be rented or bought, high-tech or low-tech. If you only want to dive once, sign up with a place that includes equipment with the price of the jump. If you'll be a repeat jumper, you can buy your own equipment (which can run thousands of dollars) 2. The jump: Expect to pay between $75 and $250 depending where you go, whether equipment use is included, and the style of jump you do. This website has a lot of great information about sky-diving in general, including a little bit of price info. http://www.skydivingmagazine.com/faq.htm

a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :)

a small parachute is called a drogue

Becoming a skydiving instructor requires much dedication and initial financial input. Typically, an accelerated freefall (AFF) instructor in the UK will be required to complete a minimum of 800 descents first.

With hard work and commitment, an individual can become an instructor within 3 years. This requires a lot of time and money to be spent.

The three priorities for every jump are:

#1) PULL!! (deploy your canopy)

#2) pull at the correct altitude

#3) pull stable

It is most important to deploy your main canopy (your life depends upon it)! Pulling at an unsafe (low) altitude can result in a partially deployed canopy or not allowing your canopy to slow you down enough before you reach the ground. Lastly, pulling stable helps minimize canopy opening malfunctions.

That could be trampoline, or skydiving...

Yes.

To market a skydiving business, focus on creating a strong online presence through an engaging website and active social media channels showcasing thrilling videos and testimonials. Leverage local partnerships with adventure tourism companies and hotels for cross-promotions. Additionally, offer special packages, discounts, or referral programs to attract first-time jumpers and encourage word-of-mouth marketing. Hosting events or experiential promotions can also draw attention and create memorable experiences for potential customers.

It depends on how well you pack it, how good a condition it is in, and on how correctly you use it.

In practice, the probability is very low. About one in every 100,000 jumps in the US results in a fatality, a probability of about 0.00001, but that's not just due to parachute failure. One unconfirmed estimate is that one in a thousand (0.001) main chute deployments result in a malfunction, but it is true that very few of those result in a fatality, primarily because there is a reserve chute that is maintained and packed under different, more stringent, requirements.

The speed at which you fall varies depending on your body position in freefall, your size, your weight and what type of clothing you are wearing.

For instance, the biggest discipline is formation skydiving. This averages around 120mph in a belly to earth body position. Generally, slick nylon type jumpsuits are worn which reduce the drag. In the discipline of freefly, skydivers freefall in a head-up or head-down position. This means they have less drag and therefore fall faster, typically around the 150mph mark.

What stops you continuing to freefall faster and faster is the drag of the air against your body. The higher you jump from, the faster you will fall, but this is not particularly noticable from an average skydiving height of 13,000ft. If you were to triple the altitude, you could expect to noice a dramatic increase in your terminal velocity.

At Skydive Hibaldstow where I jump, it hosts another discipline, speed skydiving. The idea is get the fastest average over a measured vertical kilometer. Winning speeds at the UK Nationals 2010 were around 265mph average.

• The higher you are, the faster your freefall speed is. Your speed slows down as you reach denser air.
• The aircraft also climbs faster when the air is colder and therefore at a lower pressure.
• If you have blocked ears (i.e. because you have a cold), you can get pain in them as it is hard for you to equalise.
• In terms of mental pressure, e.g. in a competition, pressure can make you give a bad performance when being judged.

You made a great choice. Weather it is right for you or not is up to you.

AFF is a great way to learn to skydive. Two highly trained instructors take you on the first few jumps in order to provide on the spot freefall instruction. Once you are a little more comfortable in the air, you will be able to jump with just one instructor until finishing the student levels.

AFF course provides all the skills needed to be a skilled and safe skydiver.

Have a great time!

AFF stands for accelerated free fall. AFF is one sky diving training method. If you choose AFF as your sky diving training method, you can be cleared sooner for solo sky diving than if you choose other sky diving training methods.

Tandem skydiving in Southern California costs around $200. It's a little more expensive if you get video of your jump BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Especially if you don't jump often, the video is a great way to memorialize your skydiving experience!

You do go up, relative to the cameraman, but you never actually gain altitude. When the parachute opens you accelerate upwards and you fell exactly the same as if you were accelerated upwards from rest.

In most places they can, although there is usually a weight limit. You must also have your legal guardian sign the consent form if you are not 18 years old

Tandem skydiving is quite safe for seniors since there is no upper limit required for skydiving programs instituted by the U.S. government. However, there are health risks that everyone attempting tandem skydiving should know. Those individuals who suffer from hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems or history of stroke should consult a doctor personally. http://sky-diving-men.blogspot.com/2007/07/when-not-to-choose-tandem-sky-diving.html

Parachuting is a part of skydiving and most people do a Tandem Skydiving Course for their first jump. This costs around £240 in the UK. The highest altitude of 15000ft can be found at Skydive Hibaldstow which is near to Leeds, Sheffield and Hull. This gives you a freefall time of around a minute and is a great introduction to the sport.
