Skydiving is practiced by sportsmen (parachutists) who jump from aircraft, or fixed places (BASE jumping), making use of a parachute (casing containing a folded sail designed to unfold increasing its contact surface with the air) to decrease its fall speed, being possible to perform jumps from high altitudes without suffering bodily harm.
In Bahia, a reference in parachute jumps is the Sky Dive Itaparica team, present in other cities of our country.
But here it is on the beautiful island of Iataparica, which is about 50 kilometers from Salvador that this team of professionals develops parachuting, this radical sport.
