Skydiving

 Name ............................................ Class ...............................................

Skydiving is a sport where a person

jumps out of a moving craft, usually
a small plane or helicopter, at an
average height of 4000m. It takes
thousands of jumps and a lot of time
and money to master this
exhilarating sport. Although the fall
is from an immense height, sky
divers do not experience the same
free-fall sensation as with other
extreme sports. This hobby is both
fun and costly and can be carried
out alone or with a group. Before the
jump, you will need to inform the
company of your precise height and
weight and confirm that you do not
suffer from any health problems. For
a relatively extensive period of time,
learners do the jump attached to an
instructor who operates the
parachute and ensures safety at all
times. The sports high cost is due
to the equipment needed: a pilot, a
plane, an instructor and of course a
parachute. This activity is ideal for
those that have always dreamt of
flying.

1 A substantial amount of money is

needed to participate in this
activity.

2 & 3 These two sports can be

carried out alone.

4 You need to have a specific skill

in order to be able to carry out
this sport.

5 You are advised to wear special

clothing to carry out this activity.
