have you ever done either? A powered parachute is a parachute with motor and wheels. The aircraft's airspeed is typically about 25–35 mph (40–60 km/h). I have done this and it was amazing, felt like a bird. I have never beensky diving although I think it would be exhilerating. I have a picture of one in my phtos.

For others it sounds fun,yet to me it is horror I am hanging in a parachute,which I have not even cared and dared to do it.My friend used to invite me to have such event
and fun of sky diving and parachuting because it is part of their studying in aeronautics.I just accompanied my friend and watch them do their tricks in the open sky.I really can not do it because I felt my soul would be leaving my body when i tried to jump out the plane for a tryout and I really back out because I am scared and nervous.

I would love to sky dive but I think I might chicken out at the last minute. Power parachuting was fun though because your strapped in and not as high as an airplane.

Finally I have tried it!!I will never ever do it again.Experiencing it is really exciting at the same time very scary for me as it is my first time to sky dive and the parachute when switch on,I felt like going up and I thought I will never go down.
Thank God that I landed safely in the grounds.
