As Extreme Sports magazine team, we spoke with Mr. Thompson about his favorite extreme sport.

ESM : Yeah, Mr. Thompson. How can you describe this sport?

Mr. Thompson : Well, it is jumping from a plane and opening the parachute to slow down.

ESM : I see. Who can try it?

Mr. Thompson : It is not only for young people but also the old ones. You can do it individually or as a group.

ESM : How dangerous is it?

Mr. Thompson : Well, you have to check the wind speed and other weather conditions. You should always carry a backup parachute with you. It seems dangerous; however, there are only a few accidents yearly.
