[11:52.59]Sport Parachuting
[11:54.62]The idea of the parachute is almost as old as man's dreams of flight.
[12:00.77]The first known parachute designs were drawn by a famous artist as early as 1495.
[12:08.59]There were more and more parachute designs after the invention of the airplane.
[12:13.72]In the past thirty years, parachuting has become an exciting sport,
[12:19.27]which is now enjoyed by men and women, young and old.
[12:23.64]There are many kinds of sport parachuting.
[12:27.12]One of the most interesting is skydiving.
[12:30.26]People who like to skydive say
[12:32.85]they can do anything an airplane can do, except go up.
[12:37.25]Besides, today's parachutes are very different from the device
[12:42.13]which was designed 500 years ago.
[12:45.44]They come in different shapes and colors.
[12:48.63]One of the most popular is shaped more like a rectangle
[12:52.90]than the traditional circle of old parachutes.
[12:56.32]And some of the most modern kinds of parachutes
[12:59.82]give jumpers much more control over where they float.
