PARACAIDISMO

Skydiving is a parachute jump technique, which can be done from a plane, helicopter or hot-air balloon, with recreational purposes, sports or transportation (military personnel or firefighters). During the free fall, the paratroopers "fly" on a relative, but always fall down. It is a non-competitive sport although some ways it is used in competition.

This consists of free air jumps using the parachute from heights (4000 metres above sea level about minimum 850 meters). Can be carried out from a plane, helicopter or balloon. Because it is a high-risk activity, the paratroopers must adopt various security measures.

To start jumping should do a course and a test security. Normally, there are instructors who are responsible for supervising the activity and give details of this at the end of doing insurance and recreation. Each paratrooper has two parachutes: one primary and one reserve.

It further recommends the use of helmets, gloves, goggles, altimeter system and the automatic opening of an emergency. Once the parachute opened the practitioner can control the direction and speed with the strings of control. But before doing so you must go through the security plans given by the instructor on where landing; otherwise would be fatal to the security of each trainee.

I would like to practise it would be a unique experience in life, feel the adrenalin in your body. Also because I like sports a little extreme.
