Skydiving is a sport.
A sport where one falls from a fast moving airplane at a minimal altitude of 4000 feet above the ground. When one exits the plane, the skydiver jumps out standing vertically and jumps sideways out and away from the plane. It is air resistance and gravity that work together to bring the moving skydiver into the horizontal position, facing the ground, plummeting towards the earth. It is the position of the skydivers body that determines how this happens. Following is an explanation of how this happens, and the physics behind it.
