In the last decade or so, skydiving has emerged as one of the top sporting activities that people indulge in to get thrill and excitement. Those who have done bungee jumping know how exciting it is to fall in air from a height. But skydiving leaves bungee jumping far behind in terms of excitement as in this activity, one has to jump from an airplane from an altitude of 10000 feet or more. Jump from an airplane to fall and die, you would say? It’s not exactly like that, you know, as a parachute strapped on the person who jumps, opens midway in the air and brings him safely to the ground. Skydiving Wollongong in NSW, Australia has become very popular these days because of the scenic beauty of the place and excellent facilities that a person gets there.
Skydiving in a nutshell is all about the freefall that a skydiver experiences when he falls from a height of 10000 feet or more. It takes place for only about a minute, but in these 60 seconds, a skydiver gets so much of thrill and fun, that he wants to do it again and again. No matter where you live, you can book Skydiving Wollongong on the internet after paying their fee. There is no technical knowledge or skill required to do skydiving. In fact, most of those who indulge in the fun filled activity are novices and first timers. It is a very safe exercise, contrary to what many people think, and in fact safer than driving a car in a heavy traffic in any city.
A typical session of skydiving begins with a brief lecture that is designed to update a beginner with the basics and to tell him the body positions that he needs to maintain during the freefall. Then, he is taken aboard an airplane that takes him up in the skies to a height of 10000 feet or more. An instructor is also there in the plane. He places a parachute on the back of the beginner and suddenly asks him to jump out in the air. The real fun of Skydiving Wollongong begins now with the person falling under his own weight like a heavy stone. The instructor also jumps out and both have a free fall. At the end of the minute, the duration for which free fall takes place, both achieve tremendous speeds of about 170 Km/ph. This free fall causes any person to have the thrill of his lifetime.
When the person has fallen to a level of about 5000 feet, the instructor opens the parachute and the diver suddenly halts in mid air and then starts a slow, relaxing descent down to the surface of the earth.
