Parachutist/hang glider

Description

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

Hang glider - a heavier-than-air aircraft, designed according to the "tailless with a delta wing" scheme, the flight of which is controlled by shifting the center of mass through the movement of the pilot relative to the suspension point (a glider with a balance).
During free fall, skydivers often form various figures.

During night flights, a skydiver must turn on a light. It should be visible from at least three statute miles from the moment of deployment to landing (in accordance with FAA requirements for protection against aircraft).

For spectacle, skydivers sometimes equip their suits with LED lights and even use fireworks.
