Extreme sports represent the most ferocious activities that challenge our natural human instincts. I have been very excited in seen people who practice these sports, but mainly fascinated by the one who falls from a Parachute. Parachutes are fabric devices with cords supporting belts made usually out of light, silk and now at days out of nylon. They are used to slow the motion of objects falling, usually, people who practice skydiving. You are screaming through the sky, the feeling of fear along with hormone Dopamine, that creates desirable and addictive effects, takes control over your whole body. But, how secured is that you will land safely on the ground without getting injured or caught in a tree, or if, does the design of a parachute has any relation with the probabilities of hurting yourself right away of landing. Even though skydiving injuries are unusual, when they happen, they tend to happen on landing because our bodies are slowing from a forward speed of around 20-30 mph under the parachute to a complete cessation. In this When this happens, the force of gravity acting on the parachute is balanced by an equal and opposite drag, which, results in a zero net on the parachute. Newton's First Law of Motion says that when a system has no net force acting on it, that system will not change in speed or direction of motion. "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion." Without this law, skydiving could not exist, since, if gravity were not acting upon the skydivers they would continue moving in the direction the plane they jumped from was moving. Moreover, if there were no air resistance, then the skydivers would continue accelerating until they hit the ground. For objects falling through the air, the formula is represented as: psgV – pagV – FD =
