Sky Diving – The breathtaking sport
Sky diving in the world is considered the best adventurous sport on the face of the earth primarily due to the fact that the sport can only be enjoyed by the people driven by the thirst of the adventure. The amount of the risk involved in the act of Sky Diving is enormous. In fact the experience is the most exhilarating one. But, the sport involves a significant amount of risk which only the daring individuals can enjoy. From health point of view, this sport can only be enjoyed by the people of young ages who usually enjoy good health and psychological fitness. Children and the people of old ages are seldom seen enjoying such extreme experiences of life. The divers free fall for a few minutes depending upon the height of the jump just above the drop zone and then open the parachute to enjoy a slow flight towards the zone.
Unlike other sports, sky diving does not necessarily comprise of teams and multiple players. But, in some places sky diving competitions are held involving teams. However, as an everyday activity, this adventurous sport is either savoured alone or in groups. The act of sky diving involves jumping out of an air plane with a parachute at the back of the divers. The sport is played this way if the player has prior experience of the diving or has got training with the coaches who are arranged by the companies which offer such services. The diving can also take place in the presence of an individual who has already experienced the sport or a coach. This kind of the sky diving is called the Tandem sky diving. The Tandem sky diving is arranged for the people who are experiencing the sport for the first time or as a part of the coaching. In this kind of sky diving the controls are handled by the coach and the passenger just enjoys the moment of the sky dive.
But, for the knowledge of those who want to experience the sport in their lives, there are some considerations to keep in mind before they decide to get these services from the companies which offer sky diving experiences. The divers are always advised to go for the companies which are certified by the local governments and the state agencies. The instructors who coach the people to sky dive must also be certified, qualified and have enough experience of the sport that they are able to give quality instruction to those who are willing to take the challenge. The divers must also gain training which is sufficient for a sky dive. Although the amount of risk of a human casualty is said to be only one percent in the sport, it is also said that the casualties happen are, most of the time, because of not following the proper instructions.
The sport is played all over the world including countries like United States as well as those like Sri Lanka and Pakistan. But, the sport is mostly offered in countries where there is a large tourism industry. But, unfortunately the fun of the sport is only available to those who have enough income and for the large mass of the populace; the sport is out of reach. According to the Everest Sky Dive, which is a diving company in Nepal, the cost of a Tandem sky dive is £19,750 per person.
