Summary:
"For some people, the idea of jumping out of an airplane with a parachute attached to their back is a terrifying prospect. Others find it to be the thrill of a lifetime. At 10,000 feet (3,048 m), skydivers have a bird's-eye view of the world as they jump from a plane, freefalling before gliding safely to Earth with a parachute . . . photographs will show just what it looks like as skydivers make the plunge. Vivid design and informative sidebars will capture the attention and imagination of young readers as they learn about this death-defying pursuit"--Amazon.
