The altitude of which a skydiver jumps from depends on different variables such as the type of plane and also the style of fall. Plus, beginner skydivers are usually falling tandem as most instructors will not allow them to jump alone. The typical altitudes are between 12,500 feet above ground level and 18,000 feet above ground level.

∙ 12y agoExit height typically ranges from 10,000ft to 15,000ft. Most skydivers open their parachute at around 3000ft above the dropzone. Freefall can therefore last between 40 seconds and 70 seconds.

Why do skydivers usually fall with their arms and legs spread out?
The spreading of the arms and legs slows the fall and gives the skydiver more control of the fall.
What is the duration of The Skydivers?
The duration of The Skydivers is 1.25 hours.
Why do skydivers doesnt open their parachutes exactly when the time they fall?
Cause the plane might hit them in the face! AssTastic Question!
Why skydivers hold their arms on their sides as they fall?
Because it can balance out there weight when they hold out there arms and legs so they wont start flipping.
Can you give me alliteration using the word skydivers?
The soaring skydivers swept along the sky.
When was The Skydivers created?
The Skydivers was created on 1963-11-13.
How fast do skydivers fall through the the air?
A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).
What do you call a group of parachutists?
Skydivers
How do Skydivers Know When to Open the Parachute?
Many sports have specialized equipment: baseball uses a bat and glove, soccer uses cleats and shin guards, and rock climbing uses ropes, harnesses, and belay devices. Skydiving is no different. In order to know when to open the parachute, skydivers must be altitude aware, or in simpler terms, skydivers must be mindful of how high up they are/ how far away they are from the ground.

Is it conservation of mechanical energy when skydivers drop in the air at a constant rate and why?
No. In free fall, where mechanical energy is conserved, the falling object would go faster and faster. In this case, to fall at a constant speed, mechanical energy is lost, due to friction.
When was I Don't Have Far to Fall created?
I Don't Have Far to Fall was created in 1988-08.
True or false Skydivers spend the first several seconds of their jump in free fall?
True. Every second of a jump is in freefall from when the jumper leaves the plane until the deployment sequence begins.
