universal joint and comprises a mast, wishbone boom and sail

11. Scuba diving (self contained underwater breathing
apparatus) is a form of underwater diving in which a diver
uses a scuba set to breathe underwater for recreation,
commercial or industrial reasons.

13. Paragliding is a recreational and
competitive flying sport. A
paraglide is a free-flying, foot-
launched aircraft. The pilot sits in
a harness suspended below a

formed by its suspension lines
and the pressure of air entering
vents in the front of the wing.

while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail.
The boat then drives off, carrying the parascender into the air. If the
boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at
the same time. The parascender has little or no control over the
parachute.

16. Bungee jumping is an activity that
involves jumping from a tall structure
while connected to a large elastic
cord. The tall structure is usually a
fixed object, such as a building, bridge
or crane; but it is also possible to
jump from a movable object, such as
a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that
has the ability to hover above the
ground. The thrill comes as much
from the free-falling as from the
rebounds
