Parachutes were invented about a century ago, but they continue to evolve, as inventors devise ever-better ways to improve their safety and handling. As indicated by the United States Parachuting Association, there are an expected 3 million jumps for every year, and the fatality count is 21 (for 2010). That is a 0.0007% possibility of dying from a skydive, contrasted with a 0.0167% shot of kicking the bucket in a fender bender (considering driving 10,000 miles). In layman 's terms, you are around 24 times more prone to pass on in a pile up than in a skydiving one. Rationale and aim: 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 …show more content…
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 investigation, to find the probabilities, I must make into account some assumptions. Beginning, if the parachutist lands somewhere around within the fields and that does not land outside it. In second, assume that the landing points are random. Under these assumptions I will based my data but first, one of the key information to know is how exactly a parachute looks like and works and moreover, what causes air resistance and the terminal velocity. How does it
