What is a "drop zone"?

In skydiving, a drop zone is the designated area on the ground where parachutists are expected to land after jumping from an aircraft. It is carefully selected to ensure safety and enough space for divers to land without obstacles. The drop zone is marked with clear boundaries, and it is usually located in an open area, such as a field or a large, controlled space, to prevent accidents. Skydivers aim to land as close to the center of the drop zone as possible, as this is the safest and most accurate landing area.
