skydiver

Action sport of exiting an aircraft and returning to Earth using a parachute

Parachuting, including also skydiving, is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent using a parachute or parachutes. It may involve more or less free-falling which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.
