According to the Guinness World Records, Dilys Price from the UK holds the record for being the oldest female skydiver at the age of 86. The oldest male skydiver on record is Armand Gendreau, who was 101 years old when he went skydiving.

The world record for the highest skydive is held by Alan Eustace, who jumped from an altitude of 135,890 feet in October 2014. The world record for the most skydives in 24 hours is held by Jay Stokes, who completed 640 jumps in 2006.

yeah of course 12 year olds can skydive theres nothing wrong unless they dont know how to skydive.

Dream interpretation of parachuting can vary depending on the context of the dream, but generally, it suggests a sense of protection during challenging times.

It signifies that you feel secure despite risks and turmoil around you. Alternatively, the dream may be a sign that it's time to let go of a situation or abandon an old idea or habit.

If you dream of having difficulties with a parachute, it could indicate that you'll be disappointed by someone you relied on and trusted. Keep in mind that dream interpretations can be subjective and may vary from person to person.

why skydiving requires more cooperation of participants than Freeflying does

To use the Ski Jump you just have to ask Dean, who is by the Ski Jump.

The Earth's gravity exerts a constant pulling force on any falling object making it go faster (accelerate)

Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.

When he or she wants the parachute to open

A parachute is an umbrella-like shape of material from which a person hangs by lines. It is used to allow a person to jump from an aeroplane, balloon, etc, and to safely land on the ground. No gas is involved, apart from the atmosphere the parachutist descends through.

The pilot will usually slow down the aircraft as much as possible when the skydivers jump out. This makes it easier to jump out and reduces the chance of someone hitting the tailplane as the plane is pointing slightly downwards.

On small aircraft, the speed will probably be between 70 and 100mph.

The minimum age for skydiving is 16 years. For those less than 18 years old, a signed letter from a Parent or Guardian is required.

in Greece 16. i am 16 and i did skydive.

No. It could be extremely dangerous and lead to injury or even death.

A conventional round parachute works by slowing rate of descent. The resistance of the air against the bell of the parachute provides an opposing force to the gravity pulling down. Such parachutes have a small opening at the top to let the air out slowly and provide stability. Without the hole the parachute tends to swing from side to side like a pendulum allowing air to escape from the upper edge which makes for a very unhappy person beneath. There is limited control on such a parachute with lines that can open small vents or collapse portions of the parachute.

The wing parachute operates completely differently. Forward motion allows air into slots at the front, blowing up the chute into a wing shape. Normal aerodynamic principles apply where air flows over the curved top surface faster than under the wing reducing pressure above the wing and providing lift. Such parachutes can climb as well as descend. Control lines provide equivalence with normal airplane wing controls such as aerilons but they work by flexing the wing as a bird, rather than moving small sections as on a fixed wing. By adjusting the lift ratios on different edges of the wing, turning, stalling, diving etc are achieved.

The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.

Tandem skydiving people is the term giving when two people skydive strapped together. When people skydive for their first time they must tandem skydive with a professional.

The Skydivers was created on 1963-11-13.

Fnet=Fgravity-Fair resistance

At terminal velocity Force Net = 0

during this time Fgravity = Fair resistance

if you weight is 85kg

Fgravity = Mass x G

= 85x 9.8

= 833N

your at terminal velocity when Air resistance is equal to 833 Newtons

For jumps intentionally make near a body of water, the skydiver is required to have a flotation device in his possession. Otherwise, you climb out of the harness and swim to safety. If that can't be accomplished then the skydiver may likely drown. Or in the case of bodies of water in Kansas, you would simply stand up.

Statistically water is more dangerous than skydiving. Ironically fishing causes more fatalities than skydiving.

Sorry, but no skydiving place is going to let you jump at 11 years old. Most places require you to be 18 years old, but some will let you jump at 16 with parental consent. The only way you would be able to is if your legal guardian (such as a parent) is a qualified skydiving instructor with hundreds of jumps under their belt, would take you themselves and would be completely responsible for what happens.

Keep skydiving as a goal, and look into it when you turn 16.

The first thing to consider when thinking of sky diving is the safety of the company providing the sky diving. Extensive research should be done on any sky diving company before actually sky diving.

A skydiver is not in freefall when they have opened their parachute. The move from free-fall to controlled decent under a wing.
