The United States Parachute Association sport promotion director Nancy Koreen believes that skydiving as a physical sport is not just a one-time activity. In fact, the number of skydives has been consistently growing through the years, with some jumpers taking the plunge once a week, making this sport a lifestyle choice instead of fleeting interest.
Anyone can skydive, but with certain restrictions. Except for pregnant women and those with heart conditions, any person can skydive regardless of his or her age, height, or any other factor, provided that special precautions and careful adjustments are applied. Professional skydivers often fly solo. But for first-timers, they can skydive in tandem or while attached to an instructor who will be in charge of opening the parachute and landing on the ground.
Armed with the right equipment and following the rules of aerodynamics, a skydiver owns the sky to move around. He or she can fly in different directions - forward, backward, or side to side. He or she can choose to go slower or faster. When in group jumps, a tracking device alerts everyone in the sky so that every skydiver opens his or her parachute in a different area.
