I mean everybody says not but why cant i overturn or my parachute get closed in the air?

Gliding ism't dangerous and neither is falling but crashing into the ground at high speeds can hurt alot.

You can't fall if you're in space, because there is no gravity, which is required in order to fall.  If you're in an atmosphere or using centrifugal force to simulate gravity, then you would still fall, but at a slower rate than you would on earth, assuming there is less gravity.

just blow air through your nose when you are upside down\n\nwater should not go up while you are right side up

Because there is no air, yet at the same time they need to hit the air so they can get lift for a soft landing.  The problem is that the air that does exist at such high altitudes is so sparse that it doesn't have the density to provide the lift, so it ends up hitting the craft at a super fast speed which heats it up.  Eventually however, the air is dense enough to provide the lift that it needs.

Are you asking whether you can skimboard across the pool? You can, but it's not a good idea. \n\nIt won't damage your skimboard, but it might damage your neck and your head if you wipeout by the edge of the pool.

If it's velocity is constant, and you jump straight up, you will land in the same place on the boat, because you, being on it, are travelling at the same velocity, and your horizontal velocity remains constant while you are airborne. (If you think you'll land in the water, then tell me, why is it that when you jump, on an airplane, you don't slam against the back wall?) Of course, you may have a difficult time maintaining your balance when you land, and that may cause you to fall into the water.

hm.  Usually the key to a successful egg drop is utilizing air resistance - like, for example, getting a parachute to slow it down.  \nThat said - if you can't use anything parachute related (balloon, cloth, plastic baggie, paper, etc being off-limits) then I would recommend thinking about making some kind of inner/outer structure to absorb the shock of the fall - like build a box for the egg in the middle, then some space connected with toothpicks and then a larger box.... this is hard w/out drawing a diagram... think of those bubble within a bubble pictures.  \n\nThe problem with making it compact; over 8 meters it will hit the ground harder and without padding it will probably break. \n\nbut... make sure to make it balanced though because another common problem is having a good design and then the darn thing flips over as it sails down and the egg breaks.\n\nLet us know how it goes!

Increase your elevation or find a court with less gravitational force.   It's  a physics thing.

The force of gravity is actually the weakest of the Fundamental Forces.  But to answer your question,  our heads don't go crashing to the floor because our bodies are sufficiently strong enough to apply enough 'upward' preassure to counter-act the Earth's gravitational attraction.  Every time you jump into the air, you're essentially escaping Earth's gravity, though it's just for a moment.  So, you can see, it doesn't take much effort for something as small as a body (or a head) to overcome gravity.

Well, yes, the gavity is pulling you down, and you are not moving. So you are subjected to an acceleration and are not moving.\nMind you, one can argue that the *resulting* force is zero, as the ground is reacting with an equal and opposite force to your weight; if you take it that way, to have an unbalanced force should result in motion.

No, it is not surreal.\n\nAnd as bizarre as it may sound, you don't have any sensation of falling, or of how high you are.\n\nWhen you are in freefall, the only sensation of movement you have is the wind blowing past your face; you feel as if you are floating.   As you gaze out at your surroundings (in my case, the Mojave Desert in California) you realize that you are above it all, but it isn't rushing at you at breakneck speed.\n\nWhen you open the chute at about 5,000 feet, the noise stops, and you slowly coast down to the ground.\n\nYou should give it a try; you'll be glad you did.

I think It's all in the way you move your head honestly turn your head and arms in one direction and the rest of your body will follow but you are right if you do it before you launch it can make you lose some air just cause your body is reacting to to much to soon and try to think about the landing afterwards not just the spin  and of course experiment with how your body reacts to diferent moves until it becomes fluid---well good luck---

Not unless the wind carries it because whilst the earth is spinning around rapidly, so is everything on it. If this were not the case, and a person jumped straight up into the air they would shoot of in a direction and this doesnt happen

I've had a trampoline since I was a young child.\n\nBackflips are only difficult because it's not the direction you're looking and it's scary.\n\nIt's physically easier to do a backflip than it is a front flip.\n\nGet used to going backward (on a trampoline) by doing back drops.  \n\nIt's counterintuitive, but be sure your head remains level with your body and let your head meet the mat at the same time as your body.  If you try to hold your head away from the mat, it will whip down to the mat due to its weight and momentum.\n\nOnce you have gone feet to back successfully a few times, give yourself plenty of room behind you and let your legs to over your head when you back drop, and they will carry you the rest of the way over to a crawl position.  Then try to start landing flat on your front after going back from the back drop.  \n\nWhen you get used to the feeling of going backward, skip the step where you land on your back, and go all the way from feet, backwards onto your tummy.  This will automatically set you onto your feet afterward.\n\nWhen this is no longer scary, get some height and go all the way over onto your feet.\n\nYou won't believe how natural it feels, and how much easier it is than a front flip from feet to feet.\n.

Protocol I, Art.42 of the Geneva Conventions forbids attacking parachutists who eject from damaged airplanes, and surrendering parachutists once landed, but specifically excludes airborne troops from protection. \n\nArt. 42 - Occupants of aircraft\n\n1. No person parachuting from an aircraft in distress shall be made the object of attack during his descent.\n\n2. Upon reaching the ground in territory controlled by an adverse Party, a person who has parachuted from an aircraft in distress shall be given an opportunity to surrender before being made the object of attack, unless it is apparent that he is engaging in a hostile act.\n\n3. Airborne troops are not protected by this Article.\n\nRatified 12 August 1949

I don't know what is exactly your problem at the two point, so I assume it must be your balance. The most important thing is to sink your weight deep down into your heels and keep your back straight, shoulders back and relaxed, and avoid crouching over as you'll immediately will be thrown off balance. Practice trotting in this position ( yes, it hurts!, only for a while, until you get strong enough) and then on a canter. As you do so, look for your natural point of equilibrium. I recomend the video Balanced Riding by Sally Swift

I wish I could show you how to do it. The best way is to take smaller steps and push downward with a spring in the step. This is a technique used by the Israeli army and you can outrun everyone every time. Kind of a sideways motion.
