Skydiving is much more than just falling from the sky, grabbing your parachute, and coming to a stop. The normal public’s perception of skydiving is that it involves simultaneous jumps while attached to a parachute. But in reality, there are different types of skydiving that one should know about. • Are you a person interested in skydiving and need to know more about it? You can learn it from Hong Chong Yi, an expert an expert skydiver. Hong Chong Yi — Understanding the Different Types of Skydivingwill take you through the nuances of different types of skydiving.
Tandem Skydiving • For those who are new to skydiving, tandem skydiving is the most popular choice. Almost anyone can jump in tandem as it doesn’t require any prior specialization. A tandem student remains attached to a qualified, experienced tandem skydiving teacher during the dive. • It is the instructor’s responsibility to handle all of the skydiving equipment and guarantee that the student has an amazing time. The best way to experience skydiving is in tandem, which saves you from learning how to handle your own parachute or completing the training required for a solo jump.
Wingsuiting • You may have already witnessed wingsuit flying as a different type of skydiving. Often called “squirrel suits,” wingsuits give the appearance of flying squirrels. • The skydiver uses the wingsuit, which is an all-in-one suit with wings, to control the direction and speed of their descent. While FS flyers often drop straight down, wingsuit pilots tend to stay in the air for longer as they fly more horizontally.
Freeflying • Advanced skydiving is known as “freeflying,” and participants fly their bodies in all directions other than just belly-to-Earth. It can be done in static (staying in one spot) or dynamic (changing positions) freeflying. Head up, head down, back, and seated (sit fly) are the possible flying positions for these fliers. • Vertical Formation Skydiving (VFS) and Freestyle are the two categories in freeflying. With more sophisticated body positioning, VFS is comparable to FS. Skydivers use their imagination to create their own routines and compulsories in freestyle.
Formation Skydiving (Belly) • In Formation Skydiving you descend to the ground in a belly-to-earth position (much as in tandem skydiving) and use each other’s arms and legs to build formations. Learning FS will teach you how to manage your body in the air and fly safely with other people. • FS competitions attract a large number of skydivers. This is usually played in groups of four (4-way FS) or eight (8-way FS). This involves developing an established pattern of formations more quickly than the opposing teams.
Accelerated Freefall • Completing an AFF course is the most popular route to get your own skydiving license. The Accelerated Freefall program is designed to get you skydiving independently as soon as possible. • AFF has been around for decades, much like tandem skydiving, and it is continuously being improved and refined to become an official skydiving qualification. You land alone after making the entire freefall with your own parachute, which you get after your first jump.
Final thoughts • There is so much more to skydiving than the types mentioned above, and this is just a glimpse. Skydiving offers endless possibilities and offers something for everyone. Like in every field, there has been increased use of technology in skydiving. Hong Chong Yi has talked more about this emerging technology in skydiving in Hong Chong Yi — Speculating on the Mind-Blowing Future of Skydiving Technology. • SOURCE CREDIT: • https://medium.com/@hongchongyisingapore/hong-chong-yi-know-about-different-types-of-skydiving-with-hong-chong-yi-293c188961d5
