Advanced: Reading Comprehension Skydiving, also known as parachuting, is the action of exiting an aircraft and returning to earth with the aid of a parachute. It may or may not involve a certain amount of free fall. A typical jump involves exiting an aircraft anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 meters of altitude. If jumping from a low altitude, the parachute is deployed immediately. However, at higher altitudes, the skydiver may free fall for a short period of time before activating the parachute. Many people believe that skydiving is extremely dangerous. However, only 1 out of every 100,000 jumps results in death. Many people make their first jump with an experienced and trained instructor. This type of skydive may be in the form of a tandem skydive. During a tandem jump, the instructor is responsible for emergency procedures in the unlikely event that they would be needed.
