1. skydiving

   Skydiving is an extreme sport or recreational activity in which a person jumps from an aircraft at a high altitude and uses a parachute to slow down and control their descent as they fall back to earth. The jump can include free-falling, when the person experiences the sensation of weightlessness, before opening the parachute. It's often performed for thrill-seeking, adrenaline rush, or competitive sport.
