Written by: Yahel Balam & Jeorval Cano

Hello, Dear fellows adrenaline-lovers! Today I am willing to talk to you about skydiving, one of the extreme sports most known by the people, and some of them say that is the least dangerous of the extreme sports. If you don’t know what skydiving consists, let me explain it to you in just one sentence: “launch a plane with a parachute from more than 1000 feet from the ground”. But it seems easy, right? But let me tell you that many people in the past had the dream of “flying” in the sky, just like any other bird. Reaching this sport has been a challenge, from getting to the sky, to falling as BuzzLightYear would say, with style, because of the environment where this sport takes place. You cannot land anywhere you want, you might need a wide and flat camp where to land.

dangerous than throwing yourself off of a plane with a parachute and with an expert with you. Just imagine how safe is to do skydiving and the experience that this sport gives you is not comparable to any other experience that you have ever tried before. Therefore, you might have heard many extreme sports and what they consist about, but at the end, most of them have their not so extreme homologous, such as rating, where you can go to a brave river, or you can make the same activity but with less motion in another river, or extreme sports where the percentage of safety isn’t high and could be dangerous for you to try on if not prepared correctly.
