PARACHUTING (by Mireia Tirado)

Parachuting is a sport that I would like to try one day.

I would like to try it because it is an extreme sport in which you can experience the sensation of flying.

  I would really like  jumping from a plane!

The equipment needed for parachuting is,

- A parachute
- A jumpsuit
- Automatic Activation Device
-  A chronometer or timer
-  Some protection (helmet, gloves, boots, special clothes)

The first parachute jump was performed in France in 1797, by André Jacques Garnerin.
