If they stay with it, and perhaps only 10% do after the first scary jump or two, they develop what Kim Adams, 31, a graduate student in anthropology at Rutgers, calls "parachuting personalities, incredibly independent, uninhibited." Sky diving becomes a way of life, infinitely challenging, indescribably energizing...
