Danny Carter went skydiving for the first time when he was nineteen. It was so amazing, I couldn't wait to go again, he says. Since then, Danny has skydived more than a hundred times. This is how he describes what it's like to skydive
As you stand in the doorway of the plane,you feel nervous but excited. You are more than 4,000 metres above the ground. The parachute on your back is heavy, and the noise of the plane is very loud. Then you jump. Five seconds later you feel like you are flying. You are falling at nearly 200 kilometres an hour, but you are in control. You can change your direction and speed just by moving your body. For around sixty seconds it's just you and the sky.
Then the ground starts getting closer and you realise just how fast you are travelling. As you fall below 1,200 metres, the earth seems to rush towards you. With just 1,000 metres left to fall, you open your parachute. The last part of your fall is slower and much quieter. You have time to look around and enjoy the view. With less than 5 metres to go, you adjust your parachute to slow yourself down even more. Then your feet touch the ground.
