Dare to try this? An adrenaline-pumping sport

Parachuting is an activity that involves jumping from an airplane using an inflatable parachute.

The early history of skydiving is unclear. It is known that Andre-Jacques Garnerin made a parachute jump from a hot air balloon in 1797. The early matches can be traced back to the 1930s, and became an international sport in 1951.

Now skydiving is done as a recreational activity and a competitive sport.
