Amputee skydiving
From ATWiki
(Redirected from Amputee skydiver)
Amputee Skydiving is a sport that involves skydivers who have one or more amputated limbs. Because of their artificial appendages, amputee skydivers often have to compensate for the change in weight with the positioning of their body for both themselves and other divers in a formation.[1]
