Have you ever been thinking of
doing some outdoor sports?
Well, here are 3 amazing suggestion for you!
Skydiving
Skydiver
is a person who jumps from a plane and performs various gymnastic maneuvers
before pulling the parachute cord. It is a type of parachuting done for
recreational purposes, and also called sport parachuting. It is not as dangerous as
one might expect and there are less than one fatality per 150,000 thousand
jumps. These are rarely due to equipment failure but are often caused by badly
executed radical moves too close to the ground. Surprisingly skydivers do not
normally feel a fall sensation. Once they reach terminal velocity anything
between 120 and 200 mph they no longer are accelerating so don't feel as though
they are falling.
GLIDING
The
hang glider is actually a triangle-shaped airfoil, a modified parachute
(known as a flexible wing) made of nylon or Dacron fabric. The triangular
shape is maintained by rigid aluminum tubes and cables and is designed to allow
air to flow over the surface to make the wing rise. Newer, high-performance
hang-glider designs use a rigid wing with stiff aluminum struts
inside the fabric to give it shape, eliminating the need for supporting cables.
It started as gliding down hills on low performance kites, but now pilots can
stay airborne for hours, reach altitudes of several thousand feet and reach
speeds of over one hundred kilometers per hour. To glide in this way the pilot
must find rising air masses. The most common source of lift is thermals where
the warm air, heated by warm landmass, raises upward.
Climbing
Mountain climbing is perceived as
an extreme sport for some, while for others it is simply an exhilarating
pastime that offers the ultimate challenge of strength, endurance, and
sacrifice. Rock climbing is also a growing sport and is popular
with all age groups. It involves climbing up or across man-made rock walls or
natural rock formations with the goal of reaching the top, known as the summit.
