Skydiving: The Exciting Leap
Skydiving is an adventurous activity where people jump from an airplane high in the sky and fall towards the earth. They wear a special back-pack called a parachute which helps them land safely on the ground. It's a thrilling experience as you fall through the air, feeling the wind rush past you! But skydiving is not just about fun and excitement, it's also about safety. Before they jump, skydivers go through training to learn how to use their parachute and land safely. They also wear helmets and other safety gear to protect themselves during the jump. Did you know the highest skydive ever made was from an astounding height of 128,100 feet? That's like jumping from the top of 44 Mount Everests stacked on top of each other! Skydiving is a truly unique experience that combines adventure, thrill, and the beauty of the sky.
