A ski jumper can increase jump distance by applying principles of projectile motion, such as optimizing launch angle and speed. By adjusting the takeoff angle to around 30 to 35 degrees, the jumper can maximize horizontal distance. Additionally, understanding factors like air resistance and body position during flight allows the jumper to minimize drag and maintain stability, ultimately enhancing overall performance and jump distance.

Sure, ski jumping is a dangerous sport regardless of whether a man or a woman is performing it. But it is no more dangerous for a woman than it is for a man. How well the jumper can handle the pressure of the jump and the prevailing wind/weather conditions at the time of the jump are more significant to the danger quotient than whether the jumper is a man or a woman.
