How dangerous is skydiving?

There is a risk of falling to the ground when skydiving at low altitude.

Low-altitude skydiving is a gliding event among extreme sports, and its risk is higher than high-altitude skydiving. Low-altitude skydiving generally takes off from fixed objects such as high buildings, cliffs, towers, bridges, etc. Due to the limited distance, the time to open the parachute bag is only 5 seconds, making it difficult to adjust posture and movements in the air.

What is the minimum altitude for BASE jumping?

In general, the minimum safe height for parachuting from ordinary aircraft is 500 meters, and the minimum safe height designed for parachutes of military paratroopers may reach 300 meters. However, the ejection seat of a fighter jet can still ensure safety when ejected above 100 meters.

Low-altitude skydiving is also an aspect other than airplanes. The current minimum record for low-altitude skydiving is 50 meters. It should be said that the "safe height" itself is not absolute, because ensuring safety first means leaving more uncertainty for life safety.

For airplanes that perform skydiving, the skydiving position is always in the middle and rear of the airplane. It must be far away from the intake and exhaust ports of the engine. There will be no stupid design that would allow people to jump out and suck the engine or touch it. to the propeller possible. Secondly, airborne troops open their parachutes as soon as they get off the plane for low-altitude skydiving, and for ultra-low-altitude skydiving, hooks are set up in the cabin to force the parachutes to open when they exit the cabin.
