Version type

Parachute - a device made of fabric to slow down the movement of the object in the air. Parachutes are used for safe descent and landing of cargo and people, braking aircraft during landing.

The hang glider is a heavier aircraft than air, made under the scheme of "tailless with a arrow-shaped wing", the flight control of which is carried out by shifting the center of the mass due to the movement of the pilot relative to the suspension point (balance glider).
Parachutists often line up in different shapes during free fall.

During night flights, the parachutist must turn on the lantern. It must be visible at least three land miles away, included from the moment of disclosure to landing (according to FAA requirements for aircraft protection).

For entertainment parachutists sometimes equip their costume with LEDs and even use fireworks.
