Аннотация
Researching the predisposition to risk and the need to look for strong sensations in parachutists is a current topic
because it targets a community and a growing activity. Whether it is a static line jump, or a tandem or a jump made by an athlete, it involves a level of risk, which on the one hand offers strong sensations, on the other, can be fatal. Identifying the level of risk of these people who practice extreme sports, could prevent some dangerous or lethal situ- ations, and would make it possible to reduce the risk and its awareness where it is too much. In the flow of emotions and adrenaline felt in the free fall, there is a probability that people want more and more such feelings, to push their limits by exaggerating or even unaware of the risk they take.
Keywords: risk, strong sensations, flow of emotions, parachutists.
