I'm scared to go Parachuting! too much free fall
That's so true. What's the minimum fall?
Not sure about minimum fall but it was first tested by leaping from a hydrogen balloon over Paris
Oh Cool! Paris,the fashion capitol of the world, I have to see it!
Same! the paris jump happened in 1797.
Paris was originally a Roman city. Maybe they should have left that to the Romans! LOL
Haha! The man who jumped luckily survived.
Free fall is not my thing! March 14th is National Napping Day. Try it for hobby?
subject to the force of gravity only, it is said to be in free fall. The moon is thus in free fall.
In a roughly uniform gravitational field, in the absence of any other forces, gravitation acts on each part of the body roughly equally, which results in the sensation of weightlessness, a condition that also occurs when the gravitational field is weak (such as when far away from any source of gravity).
The term "free fall" is often used more loosely than in the strict
. Garnerin tested his contraption by leaping from a hydrogen balloon above Paris. Garnerin's parachute bore little resemblance to today's parachutes, however, as it was not packed into any sort of container and did not feature a ripcord. The first intentional free-fall jump with a ripcord-operated deployment was not made until over a century later by Leslie Irvin in 1919. While Georgia Broadwick made an earlier free-fall in 1914 when her static line became entangled with her jump aircraft's tail assembly, her free-fall
