Teddy bear parachuting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teddy bear parachuting is a game in which teddy bears equipped with parachutes are dropped from a height. It is increasing in popularity as a charity fundraiser, and competitions based on the descent time are also common.

A typical teddy bear parachute may be made from an old umbrella canopy or other lightweight material.

While jumps are commonly from high buildings such as church towers[1][2] and castles, some are more ambitious, with at least one regular event including parachuting from a light aircraft.[3] Kites have also been used as launch points.[4]
