Parachuting, The Skydiver's Handbook is an easy-to-read popular book directed to those looking into the sport for the first time as well as the advance jumper. Authors Dan Poynter and Mike Turoff go into great detail covering every phase of skydiving, canopy flying, safety and equipment. They begin with an overview of the sport and progress to an in-depth study of emergencies; their causes, avoidance and solutions. The book goes on to cover freefall progression, learning to skydive; canopy progression and canopy formation flying; specialized jumping; and all about your parachutes. The Appendix contains a glossary of skydiving terms and a list of books, magazines, drop zones, dealers and videos available world-wide.

"Skydiving is the closest humankind can come to unfettered flight. Parachuting, The Skydiver’s Handbook helps both novice and experienced jumpers get the most out of the sport. The book details every phase of skydiving, canopy flying, safety, and equipment. It thoroughly explores freefall progression, learning to skydive, canopy progression and formation flying, specialized jumping, and every aspect of parachutes. With hundreds of photographs, illustrations, and charts, this revised and updated edition conforms with the new regulations of the U.S. Parachute Association." D. Poynter ( )
