skydiving gear

Jumper's safety kit

Skydiving gear is the equipment used for parachute jumping from aircraft.

The essential components include the main parachute, a reserve chute, the container system that holds both, a harness, and an altimeter.

An automatic activation device deploys the reserve if the jumper fails to do so at a safe altitude.

She checked her skydiving gear twice before the jump.
