0 a person who practises the sport of skydiving (= jumping from an aircraft with a parachute):
As an experienced skydiver, he would have checked his main parachute himself before the jump.
He was a skilled skydiver with numerous qualifications.
Fellow skydivers were at a loss yesterday to explain how the incident could have happened.
Two of the other skydivers could see that she was trying to separate the two parachutes.
She is also an expert stuntwoman, scuba diver, skydiver, motorcyclist, mountain climber, skier, lion-tamer, and wrestler.
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.
The village has an airstrip, which is particularly popular with skydivers.
For further study of the physics of flying, skydivers were filmed in a vertical wind tunnel.
Many skills of bodyflight can be learned in a vertical wind tunnel, to enable skydivers to become better at controlling their bodies in the sky.
