bungee jumping
an exhilarating air adventurous activity that involves a person jumping from a great height while connected to a large elastic cord.
equipment required for bungee jumping. how is it used?
bungee cord, harness, and rubber cord. A bungee cord is attached to the jumper’s ankle with a harness. A bungee cord is mostly made of multiple strands of rubber and natural latex. Bungee cords are discarded after 500 to 1000 jumps to ensure safety. Two harnesses are attached to the body of the jumper, one to the ankle and another to the body, to increase safety. Some bungee jumping facilities add another safety facility, such as the extra rubber cords, to maximize safety.

expain paragliding
In paragliding, the pilot sits in a harness or lies in a cocoon-like pod suspended below a fabric wing. Wing shape is maintained by the suspensio lines, the pressure of air entering vents in front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand meters. Despite not using an engine, paragliding lasts many hours and covers many hundreds of kilometers.
ice skating
the self-propulsion and gliding of a person across an ice surface, using metal-bladed ice stakes.
explain ice skating
In ice skating, a skate can glide over ice because there is a layer of ice molecules on the surface. These molecules are in a semiliquid state, providing lubrication. A person’s ability to ice skate depends on the roughness of the ice, the design of the ice skate, and the skill and experience of the skater.
ice skating guidelines
- Skaters must wear approved figure skills.
- male must wear pants or trousers and female must wear tights or trousers

parachuting
a method of transiting from a high point in the atmosphere to the surface of the earth with the aid of gravity using a parachute.
How is the speed controlled?
A parachute controls the speed during the descent, and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.
ice climbing
The snow-adventurous activity of ascending inclined ice formation is called ice climbing. It refers to roped and protected climmbinng of features such as ice falls, frozen waterfalls, cliffs or rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water.
ice screw
It is a hollow metal threaded tube, typically aluminum, with cutting teeth at its base and a hanger eye on the opposite end.
ice climbing guidelines
- going with an experienced ice climber for the first time.
- wearing double boots
- getting a big puffy
