Skydiving over The Giza Pyramids of Egypt
Skydiving or parachuting is one of the most enjoyable aerial sports, which requires the jumper to have a great degree of daring and courage to practice it, but performing these jumps from the top of the historical pyramids makes it more enjoyable, as it makes the practitioner perform his favorite hobby from the top of the amazing scene of the Pharaonic monuments, in the arms of a civilization that is more than 7,000 years old.
Speed skydiving is an extreme sport that requires athletic individuals to jump out of an airplane and try to achieve the highest possible upward speed that can be maintained the longest time, as speed skydiving is a new sport and happens to be the most rapid activity on the globe without use of any mechanical means. This is due to the fact that contests include exiting an aircraft at elevations of 13,000ft to 14,000ft, after which the contestant executes a sharp 90-degree turn away from the direction of flight; first right and then left.
After that, the competitors go into a free-fall position head down and aim to be as aerodynamic as they can, which is the stage at which they attain the highest speed there is. Competitors can get up to over 500 km/h based on other factors such as the mass of body, angle, and climatic conditions.
A common misconception about skydiving speed is that weight is the only contributing factor. However, athletes who excel in the sport, and who are successful in mastering the art, will tell you that there’s more to it. It is crucial, though quite a challenge, to reach, and sustain the best possible orientation, while going down towards the earth at very high velocities.
