Parachuting Parachuting, or skydiving, is next to a recreational activity a competitive sport. There are several different disciplines within parachuting: the classic disciplines in style and accuracy landing, the artistic disciplines freestyle, skysurfing and freeflying, the formation disciplines and the canopy formation disciplines. There's also a combination event of parachuting and snow-skiing called paraski. Parachuting is organised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the international federation for air sports, which was founded in 1905.
