chuting
Going down fast
Chuting is the act of sliding or conveying something through a chute—a narrow passage or channel for moving materials downward.
The term appears in contexts like logging, mining, or grain handling: chuting logs down the mountainside.
In skydiving and parachuting contexts, chuting refers to descending under a parachute canopy.
