Freeflying can, and usually does, involve constant transitions in position and speeds, with vertical and horizontal orientations. This can involve constantly flowing skydives, with all positions explored, or more static skydives where flyers are concentrating on building a large formation while flying in one of these freefly positions.

Extra care must be taken for freefall skydive groups to stay away from belly-to-earth skydivers to avoid collisions.

Tandem skydiving requires equipment with several differences from normal sport skydiving rigs. All modern tandem skydiving systems use a drogue parachute, which is deployed shortly after leaving the plane in order to decrease the skydivers' terminal velocity. This is necessary for proper parachute deployment, lengthening the duration of the skydive, and allowing the skydivers to fall at the same speed as videographers. Tandem skydiving systems also use larger main parachutes (360 square feet and larger) to support the additional weight of two passengers.

There have however been multiple recorded instances of skydivers jumping without being attached to a parachute. However these jumps lack the element that make them a banzai skydive, where a parachute is thrown out of the plane then caught by the jumper after some delay. During skydives where the jumper is detached from the skydiving rig the rig is held by the skydiver or an assistant until the skydiver is secured to the rig. This is due to the skydiving rig having a much slower terminal velocity than a skydiver is capable of achieving.

The student needs only minimal instruction before making a tandem jump with the instructor. In the United States most skydiving centers and clubs require that you be 18 years or older to skydive whereas in other countries the minimum age can be lower or higher. This is one of three commonly used training methods for beginning skydivers; the others being Static line, Instructor-assisted deployment (IAD), and Accelerated freefall (AFF) (k). Tandem skydiving is a very popular training method for first time skydivers, but it is more expensive than a static line.

In January 2020, the United States and Colombian troops conducted airborne insertion from U.S. and Colombian C-130 Hercules aircraft and then carried out exercises simulating the capture of an airfield.Jump alongside the 82nd Airborne with a paratrooper's wild skydive video from Colombia.

Altitude Express, Inc. v. Zarda, 590 U.S. ___ (2020), was a landmark United States Supreme Court civil rights case which ruled that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 employees could not be discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The case involved Donald Zarda, a skydiving instructor for Altitude Express who had told a female customer of his gay identity to make her more comfortable being attached to him during a skydive. She and her boyfriend later expressed their objections to Altitude, leading to Zarda's dismissal on the claim of misconduct.

USPA member drop zones in the US and Canada are required to have an experienced jumper act as a "safety officer" (in Canada DSO – Drop Zone Safety Officer; in the U.S. S&TA; – Safety and Training Advisor) who is responsible for dealing with jumpers who violate rules, regulations, or otherwise act in a fashion deemed unsafe by the appointed individual. In many countries, either the local regulations or the liability-conscious prudence of the drop zone owners require that parachutists must have attained the age of majority before engaging in the sport. The first skydive performed without a parachute was by stuntman Gary Connery on 23 May 2012 at 732 m.

A cross-country jump is a skydive where the participants open their parachutes immediately after jumping, with the intention of covering as much ground under canopy as possible. Usual distance from jump run to the drop zone can be as much as several miles. A Technoavia SM92 Finist of Target Skysports lifts skydivers to the jump altitude at Hibaldstow, England There are two variations of a cross- country jump: The more popular one is to plan the exit point upwind of the drop zone. A map and information about the wind direction and velocity at different altitudes are used to determine the exit point.

At that time there were 64 aircraft based at this airport: 66% single-engine, 13% multi-engine, 19% ultralight , 3% helicopter and 43% glider There is extensive glider activity due to the presence of Miami Gliders, a glider flight school, operating out of runway 9 turf. Homestead is also the home of south Florida's oldest and best known skydiving center, Skydive Miami. Extensive student training and lack of a tower and organization makes this airport a challenging one to fly in and out of. Near miss encounters happen regularly, and a lack of knowledge of standard procedures for non-towered airports plague the area.

On 14 July 2019, a GA8 Airvan of Skydive Umeå crashed on the nearby island of Storsandskär, killing all nine people on board. Structural failure of a wing is suspected as a cause. The GA8 Airvan was grounded by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia, Civil Aviation Authority in New Zealand, and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in the European Union. The grounding order was issued on 20 July and was due to run until 3 August, but was lifted early as CASA found there is no evidence for an unsafe condition, and the EASA said the wrecked aircraft had been exposed to aerodynamic loads beyond certification.

The accident occurred on October 9, 2005 during Richardson's 1st solo AFF skydive in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. While it is widely reported in the mainstream media that the accident was the result of equipment malfunction, many in the skydiving community insist that the problem was actually with Richardson's inexperience and the quality of instruction she received from her Instructor, and boyfriend, Rick West. Shayna and Rick were jumping as guests in Siloam after failing to tell the Siloam dropzone operator that Shayna had been banned from jumping at her home dropzone due to the conflict of interest arising from her relationship with her Instructor.

In 1996, before the base could be turned over the Town of Riverhead, the base was used to reassemble the wreckage of TWA Flight 800 which had crashed about south in the ocean. In 2000, Skydive Long Island (formerly located at East Moriches) moved to the airport, and to this day continues to generate the majority of the current air traffic as a key destination for New York-based skydivers. Through 2007, debates raged about whether or not to turn the base into a mega complex around a NASCAR track, called EPCAL Centre, or a giant ski resort based construction of an artificial high indoor ski mountain.

Freeflying is an expansion of skydiving which includes the traditional belly-to-earth positions, but extends into vertical flight where the flyer is in an upright position (falling feet first) or in an inverted position (falling head first). These positions increase freefall speeds and make new types of formations and routines possible. A freeflyer, in order to fully understand the aerodynamic power of his/her body in freefall, needs to first learn to control all of the skydiving forms: box position (belly-to-earth, traditional skydiving position), back flying (back-to-earth), head-up flying, head-down flying, and side flying. These positions are not held for the duration of a skydive.

Most countries have varying laws or regulations regarding who may skydive with a passenger or student. In the United States, the FAA requires that every potential instructor have at least 3 years of experience skydiving, 500 skydives, and a master parachute license issued by an FAA-recognized organization (for the United States Parachute Association, this is equivalent to a D license). Per USPA rules, instructors are also required to pass a certification course given by the manufacturer of the tandem parachute system to be jumped. The USPA also requires potential instructors to possess a current FAA Class III Medical Certificate, and complete a USPA Tandem Instructor Rating Course, although neither are required from the FAA directly.

The Space Games came about as a result of the Atmosphere Dolphin FreeFly License Program ran through Olav ZIpser's First School of Modern SkyFlying. Zipser used a constant speed and direction measuring device (space balls) around which high speed precision freefly athletes could train and be tested to fly to the same standard. This provided the testing ground for the research and development of freeflying, and opened up the possibility for a number of human flight air games and competitions.DropZone.com article, retrieved 10 Sep 2012 Space Games 1999 Article, retrieved 10 Sep 2012 Olav Zipser Space Games, retrieved 10 Sep 2012 The 1st Space Games was held at Skydive America Palm Beach, Pahokee, Florida in 1997.

This jump also stirred controversy among BASE jumpers who pointed out that Baumgartner cited the height of the statue as the height of the jump even though he landed on a slope below the statue's feet, and that other BASE jumpers had previously jumped from the statue but avoided publicity.Abrams, p. 249. He became the first person to BASE jump from the completed Millau Viaduct in France on 27 June 2004Millau Viaduct and the first person to skydive onto, then BASE jump from, the Turning Torso building in Malmö, Sweden, on 18 August 2006. On 12 December 2007, he became the first person to jump from the 91st floor observation deck of the then-tallest completed building in the world, Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Zac Adams, a graduate of Franklin High School and Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, first conceived of Nashville Rises after his company Skydive Films produced public service announcements for the American Red Cross and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee in the wake of the 2010 Tennessee floods. Citing the wider world's ignorance and negligence of the event, Adams wanted to spread the message of the floods, their repercussions, and Tennesseans' response to a wider audience. Mirroring the volunteerism the film witnessed, the project itself was a non-profit venture; time, labor, equipment, media, expertise, and talent were freely donated to the project. Adams produced the film alongside filmmaker Camron Carrier, as well as American musician and Franklin resident Mark Slaughter.

Therefore, when a skydiver exits a forward-moving aircraft such as an aeroplane, the relative wind emanates from the direction the aeroplane is facing due to the skydiver's initial forward ( horizontal ) momentum. As aerodynamic drag gradually overcomes this forward momentum and, simultaneously, gravity attracts the skydiver downward, the relative wind alters proportionally into an upward (vertical) direction. This creates an arc of travel for the skydiver similar to water flowing from a low pressure hose held horizontally and creates a variation in the angle of the relative wind from horizontal to vertical. When exiting from a forward-moving aircraft (as distinguished from a hovering aircraft, such as a balloon or a helicopter in hover mode) during a normal belly-to-earth skydive, the skydiver must arch his body in the direction of travel which is initially horizontal.

But, in 1995, the band brought in Brian Garcia as Producer/Manager and essentially a fifth member. They recorded a 7-song CD called “Vim Fuego” under the name Shed only to be coaxed back to the name Toy Subs by the folks at The Buzz radio station in Houston due to the popularity of the name. Vim Fuego was repackaged with 8 songs, and produced three singles that achieved rotation status around Texas. The Buzz Houston broke “Dr. Bre”, and the singles “W.I.D.L.Y.” and “Skydive” also received airplay at stations around Texas. Toy Subs continued to tour extensively, and recorded their follow-up, “Vodka Sonic”, a ten-song CD that garnered airplay around TX as well. The singles receiving airplay were “Bad Rain”, “Apathy 101”, Take It Down”, and “Secret Sneak”, The band had small offers for publishing and record deals throughout the 90's, but turned them down in the hope of garnering a solid recording contract.
