Skydiving, as detailed in "Hong Chong Yi: A Comprehensive Guide to Skydiving," is far more than just leaping from a plane. It is a carefully orchestrated activity that blends the principles of physics, physical agility, and mental resilience. At its essence, skydiving consists of exiting an aircraft at high altitude, experiencing the thrill of freefall, and then skillfully deploying a parachute to ensure a controlled and safe descent to the ground.
