Skydiving is a sport both adventure and extreme. What is it that makes him so? Well, to begin with, being one of the sports with which more adrenaline downloads. It is not like any other sport, in this you must throw yourself from a certain height, and let yourself go.

The first precursor of the idea of the parachute was Leonardo da Vinci who, studying the flight of birds, devised a series of sketches for what would be a possible device. In their sketches, the parachutes were pyramidal.

In the year 1616 the Italian, Fausto de Veranzio published a book where he showed sketches showing a man falling with a rectangular parachute, very similar to the current one, which he called “Homo Volans”.

In 1779, Sebastián le Normand, a French physicist, conducted a series of animal studies on his parachute descent. Because of the number of studies he has done, he can be considered the first parachute builder.

In general, historically, skydiving has been considered an unconventional sport, whose technique has been used for competitive, recreational and transport purposes.

Skydiving, not only can be practiced individually but also in a group. The Free Fall Training is another modality for more experienced athletes. It is done in groups of 2, 4, 8, 12 or 20 people, and consists of forming blocks and figures in the air, in a coordinated manner.

The coastline of Florida, is a convenient location for skydivers from Orlando, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade County, making it the most accessible Florida skydiving destination.

Whether its your First Time Tandem Skydiving in Florida, or you are an Experienced Skydiver looking for a “destination” or drop zone for a freestyle fall, while you enjoy an incredible view of the Sebastian, Florida Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean while in freefall, as well as an enjoyable coastal environment after landing.

The most frequent means to practice skydiving are those of jumps are from airplanes or helicopters. The participants carry a main and a reserve parachute. The parachutist must follow a training that allows him to maneuver the direction of the parachute in the sky, and direct it towards the landing area.

The basic parachuting equipment can be very expensive. There are increasingly more advanced technologies and accessories that make prices rise even more. However, it allows this extreme sport to be increasingly safe.

A complete team could cost as much as a new motorcycle or half a small car. Skydiving does not have a market large enough to make prices go down. Another option is to rent the equipment.
