the specific skills and maneuvers used during skydiving or other air sports involving unpowered descent
Freefall technique refers to the way a person falls through the air during a skydive or jump, before the parachute is deployed. The goal is to control the body position to manage speed and stability while falling. This can involve adjusting the body's angle, arms, and legs to maintain balance and control. Experienced jumpers can perform tricks or move in different directions during freefall by shifting their posture or using hand signals to communicate with others. Proper technique helps ensure a safe and controlled landing.
