B'Elanna Torres in orbital skydiving gear.
Orbital skydiving, as described by Seven of Nine, is "leaping from a spacecraft at exospheric altitudes".
While trying to feel "alive" in 2375 after learning of the destruction of the Maquis, B'Elanna Torres would occasionally skydive from a shuttlecraft in the holodeck with the safety protocols off. If the program was interrupted mid-fall, a force field would move her from a horizontal to a vertical position. (VOY: "Extreme Risk")
- James T. Kirk's orbital skydiving attempt was cut from Star Trek Generations. It does appear in the Special Edition DVD. The suit that B'Elanna uses is a re-use of the one that Kirk used. Orbital skydiving is also mentioned in the novels Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume 1, Preserver and Captain's Peril.
