"Well. I'm going to discuss muggle sports, specifically a sport known as parachuting or skydiving." Because that was something he had experienced for himself. "It is the performance of acrobatics while falling freely though the air with the help of a device known as a parachute. It was developed in the early '90s and became international in the 1950's after which it has been seen as a competitive sport, a fun-based activity, and as an aid to muggle 'firefighters.'"

"Of course before a person can make this 'jump' he or she has to go through extensive training to ensure fitness.
