Best Answer

At no point during a skydive does the jumper feel weightless, unless they are jumping from a fixed object like a hot air balloon or a helicopter, where a feeling of weightlessness can happen for the first second or two. This is because air resistance provides a force to balance gravity throughout the entire skydive.

Could you weightless without going into space?

You can achieve a part of weightlessness by countering some weight forces but you cannot achieve all dimensions of weightlessness in any place visited by humans. To achieve the equivalent of space is possible in near space experiences or with special facilities but anti-gravity is not commonly developed or known yet. A pool is the most common experience of near weightlessness enjoyed worldwide.
