What is a freefly jump?

A freefly jump is characterized by the skydiver utilizing body positions other than the traditional belly-to-earth orientation during freefall. This technique involves various body positions such as sitting, standing, or even head-down orientations, allowing for a diverse range of movements and angles during the jump. Freeflying requires skilled control and understanding of aerodynamics, as changes in body position directly influence the skydiver’s speed and stability in freefall.

The other options do not accurately describe the essence of a freefly jump. A jump where skydivers deploy parachutes at the same altitude does not reflect the unique orientation aspect of freeflying. Similarly, a tandem jump specifically involves an experienced instructor paired with a student, which deviates from the individualistic nature of freeflying. Lastly, skydiving at night is a completely separate type of jump that relates more to the timing of the jump rather than the body position used during freefall.
