Imagine hurling yourself out of an airplane flying at three hundred miles an hour, ten thousand feet in the air, merely to appease a craving for speed, excitement, and a huge rush of adrenaline...

The following is a peek into the amazing, thrilling, and adrenaline pumping world of skydiving.  Yet, instead of viewing this venture as part of the wonderful world of sports, we decided to take an alternate route; we examined it through the eyes of physicist. Through an extenisve research paper that examines the physics principles that belie the basic skydive, a proposal which lays out an experiment studying these principles, and a data analysis which studies the data obtained in this experiment, we scrutinize and dissect every aspect of the skydiving world.
