before I die, I want to skydive from a high point and descend to the ground
How far will you descend?
Not sure, but it involves free-falling before the parachute has been deployed.
That sounds pretty scary!
Yeah! The first parachute jump was in 1797! Would you ever do it? 
Probably not even though I know I would regret not doing it. I hate the freefall feeling in your stomach!
Yeah gravity involving the control of speed aids in that feeling!
I hate it so much on rollercoasters!
RollerCoaster Tycoon (video game)
RollerCoaster Tycoon is a construction and management simulation video game that simulates amusement park management. Developed by Chris Sawyer Productions and published by Hasbro Interactive, the game was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 and was later ported to the Xbox by Infogrames in 2003. It is the first game in the "RollerCoaster Tycoon" series and was the only game released for a game console in the series for fifteen years until 2018, when "RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures" was released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
Parachuting
Parachuting is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent with the use of a parachute or parachutes. It may involve more or less free-falling (the skydiving segment) which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.
History.
The first parachute jump in history was made by André-Jacques Garnerin, the inventor of the parachute, on 22 October 1797
