This is the exhilarating moment fearless skydivers were seen plummeting head first towards the ground during a mid-air trickshot.

During the spectacular stunt, captured in Houston, Texas, the skydivers are seen jumping from a plane before holding hands and forming a large circle in the sky.

With the formation complete, more skydivers are seen taking the plunge and diving head first through the floating target.

The incredible footage from the air was shot by Aerial videographer, Nicholas Lott..


'The jumpers build an 'upright round' meaning they are holding hands in a circle, falling feet first toward the ground, while other jumpers dive through the centre of the formation.

'The divers then build a 'head-down round' meaning they are falling head first toward the ground and the upright flyers dive through the new formation.


This is not the first time daredevils have taken to the skies to perform spectacular yet dangerous stunts.






How long does it take to skydive from 15000 feet to the ground level?


Short answer: Around 70 seconds.

When you skydive, before deploying the chute, you’ll be falling at speeds of around 220km/h.

It’s fast and adrenalin fuelled.




If you’re jumping from 15000ft then this plane ride will last around 20 minutes before jump zone.

Now it’s time to jump.

When you first exit the aircraft, your airspeed quickly builds up until you reach terminal velocity.

Terminal velocity can be defined as “the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.”

Once falling at terminal velocity you will be covering a distance of approximately 1000 feet every 6.5 seconds.


Your tandem instructor will deploy the parachute at 5000ft, meaning on a 15000 feet tandem skydive you’ll have around 70 seconds of adrenalin fuelled freefall.

It’s only a minute but it will feel like a lifetime.

After the freefall you have around 5 minutes under the parachute where you can take your goggles off, take in the amazing views and even get to control the parachute.

not a Nigerian thing sha. but where do they practice?

This world has really passed using Android phones to brag around.

Dubai is one the most popular destinations for skydiving and base jumping. Inviting millions of jumpers/skydivers from around the globe because of the high rise buildings.



Crazy guys.....

Beautiful sight

Well explorers, what if the chutes don't deploy? That's one stunt I don't think I can ever take on ever in my life

Omgooooosh

Adrenaline pumping. Pumping.

Love love this. I'm definitely skydiving again come December.

judey1992:

Dubai.

Nigerians sky dive too. At least I do. You can start with paragliding or bungee jump.

Hakeem12:
Well explorers, what if the chutes don't deploy?

It happens when the gear malfunction or when there is cut on the gear, but very rare.

Like 10 in 1000.

Hired killer

Out of that 10, like 8 will survive but with fractures.

The 8 wont be total failure of the chute/gears. Like situations where the chutes failed to deploy and function effectively or where the divers couldn't control the chutes.

Let's say like 1 or 2 would fail to deploy in 1000 dives.

You wicked ooo

Even at that

Is 0.005% what oyinbo call rare

Explorers:


Out of that 10, 5 will survive but with fracture because it wont be total failure of the chute/gears.
