This page is about skydiving and sport parachuting. Freefall and jumping out of planes and balloons is included. You might consider that peripheral interests are skydiving equipment such as parachute canopies, rigs and harnesses, jump suits and alimeters, goggles and helmets. People looking at this page may also be interested in skydiving videos and freefall camera work. Free flying and canopy formation events and records are part of the sport too, as is classical and sports accuracy.

The interest is not regional and has a world wide appeal, so it is of as much interest to skydivers in Australia and New Zealand as to parachutists in Europe and the USA. Age is no barrier, except that to join the Parachutists Over Phorty societs you have to be older than forty and similarly with the sykdivers over sixty, jumpers over seventy and jumpers over eights societies
