Chapter 338 Low-altitude skydiving
After finally dealing with the situation, Xiao Gu, who was excitedly coming, Liu Jinpeng planned to play parachute with Li Xiwen. Lin Lin also walked in at this moment. The waiter wanted to stop her, but she said, "I am Director Liu's bodyguard." It happened that Xiao Gu was still there just now, so she was put in. Before leaving, Xiao Gu told the foreman to entertain these guests well and not to neglect them. The foreman naturally took the order.
Li Xiwen was a little scared of parachutes. She had no experience in this area and naturally had no training. However, Liu Jinpeng dared to promise, "Lin Lin is here, what are you afraid of? Even if the parachute cannot be opened, you will be fine." Bah, Li Xiwen spat him a few times after hearing this sentence to show that she was dissatisfied with his crow.
The foreman took three people to the parachute tower. The parachute tower was built on a grassland, and there were several teams of people standing by with air cushions next to it. They could pick up guests who could not play or who had forgotten the key points at any time. Seeing this posture, Li Xiwen was relieved and Liu Jinpeng asked about the parachute requirements. He found that none of the three people here could meet the standards, so he had to learn from the beginning honestly.
Fortunately, you can get a certificate for studying here. The teacher has registered at a national-level institution. The students who teach only need adaptive training at any low-altitude parachute center with their certificates, and there is no need to conduct similar courses. Since that is the case, let's learn it. After paying the tuition fee for three people, it is not very expensive for Liu Jinpeng. Then all the three of them received their own equipment.
These equipment include parachute windbreaker goggles, parachute windbreaker, elastic helmet, elastic knee pads and learning parachutes. The next course is to first explain the precautions for low-altitude parachute. The definition of low-altitude parachute generally refers to the distance between 300 meters and 80 meters. Because it is very close to the ground, it means short stay time and strong concealment in military terms. It is a project that must be strengthened for practice in the airborne troops.
However, in the civil field, this kind of low-altitude parachute is just a temporary measure when conditions do not allow. The requirements for high tower parachutes are relatively low. The site requirements are not high, and it does not involve a flight license, nor does it require helicopters or small transport aircraft. The cost is much lower. However, the risk of low-altitude parachutes is also very high. First of all, due to the short landing distance, the reaction time left to people is very short, and it is required to be more skilled in technology to carry out.
If it is a high-altitude skydiving, it is also very important to choose which umbrella to choose. The speed parachute has good control, but the requirements for the human body are high. Ordinary folk parachute enthusiasts generally use umbrella No. 4. This umbrella is easy to operate and has a normal descent speed. It is suitable for people of all ages. Low-altitude skydiving has much less equipment than high-altitude skydiving, such as GPS positioning instruments and altimeters, and there is no need to prepare for low-altitude skydiving.
There is now a new type of parachute suit called a flying wing suit. The creativity probably comes from bats. There is a thin film between the hands and feet of bats, and there is also a layer of nylon film between hands and feet of this parachute suit. The control of this flying wing suit is much more complicated than a parachute, and it is easy to turn over if you are not careful. It is much more sensitive to airflow in the air, and it is a very dangerous parachute equipment.
Low-altitude parachute diving does not require a control rod to control the parachute air outlet. It cannot control the speed, but the problems that may be encountered are no less than those of high-altitude parachute diving, such as rolling up the umbrella, twisting the parachute rope, unable to open the main parachute, etc., all of which are probable. For your own safety, the parachute must be folded by yourself. This is the first indoctrination of every parachute enthusiast. You must hit the umbrella given to you by others. This is for the safety of your own life.
After explaining the precautions, the teacher had to conduct a written test paper. The teacher asked several candidates to write the answers in the paper within the specified time, and they could not whisper. This was not a problem for Lin Lin, a human-shaped computer. She finished it in less than 5 minutes. Liu Jinpeng took 7 minutes to finish it, while Li Xiwen took 11 minutes.
After finishing the paper, the teacher took the three of them to wear their equipment and went to the training ground to train the ground. The grounding action is the final action of the entire skydiving movement and is a very important part. Incorrect grounding action may cause damage to the feet or legs, and may cause injuries to other parts. Therefore, it is necessary to train repeatedly until it becomes a subconscious action of the body.
Because all three of them are beginners, they first jumped from the 1-meter platform and jumped down from the 1-meter-high platform. Although there was a cotton pad underneath, the feet were uncomfortable if they jumped too many times. The teacher demonstrated many times, and kept correcting everyone's mistakes next to him, such as legs to close together and ankles to not bend down. There were many basic mistakes at the beginning.
When the 1-meter platform is more familiar, I have to change to the 2-meter platform. This height is a bit scary, at least Li Xiwen is a little scared. Liu Jinpeng encouraged her for a long time before she cheered up and tried to jump. The teacher continued below. Fortunately, nothing happened. Lin Lin made the fastest progress next, and she could soon learn to fold umbrellas.
Although Liu Jinpeng could also get out of the army, he still practiced jumping on the 2-meter platform with Li Xiwen. Later, he simply stopped going up and waited for Li Xiwen to jump on the cotton pad below. He specifically helped Li Xiwen when she didn't dance well. Fortunately, this guy was surprisingly strong. Sometimes when he couldn't catch someone, he just used it as a meat pad. Li Xiwen was not suffering much, and he was a little tired himself.
Li Xiwen spent an hour and finally passed the test. The teacher was relieved and hurriedly took them to learn to stack umbrellas. At this time, Jiang Feng, Huo Ge and Li Cheng also came over and watched the fun with a smile. Lin Lin had already learned to stack umbrellas, and was now carrying umbrellas for ground training. He was mainly familiar with padlocks, parapet ropes, safety ropes, straps, umbrella covers, main and secondary umbrella structures, etc.
After a long time of struggle, when Li Xiwen completed this training, it was almost time to have lunch. Huoge and Li Cheng went to another place, but Jiang Feng kept sitting next to watch, not knowing what was good about it. Liu Jinpeng chatted with him and asked, "Can you skydiving? You are so excited to watch, don't you learn together?"
Jiang Feng shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "I want to maintain my strength and play basketball with you in the afternoon. All the great gods are here, how dare I not be serious? I can't learn this thing for a while, and there are not many opportunities to play anyway, so I'd better talk about it later."
Since this is the case, Liu Jinpeng didn't advise him and said, "Then don't you go anywhere else to play? I always see what it means to study. By the way, it's almost time for lunch. When you are in the restaurant, you can order wine for me first. Don't make beer and liquor, you have to play in the afternoon."
"No problem." Jiang Feng agreed very readily, just ordering wine, and he also saw that Liu Jinpeng didn't want him to be in the eye department here, so he had to say goodbye. Li Xiwen didn't have time to care about this place at all. She was still very quick to learn to fold umbrellas, but it took a while to be familiar with those padlocks and so on. After all, she had never been in contact with them before. After she learned it, the teacher said that she could try it on an automatic parachuting machine. After all, she had to make it all the time and finally had a good time. Li Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief.
The height of the automatic skydiver is about 50 meters. It uses an automatic umbrella hook, which does not require anyone to operate. Generally speaking, low-altitude skydiver is an automatic umbrella hook to prevent operating errors from opening the umbrella. There is an air cushion under the automatic skydiver, so there is no problem with safety. It just makes people feel that feeling. If you don’t learn, you can try this, but if you want to go up to a high tower, there will be no chance.
After taking the elevator, Li Xiwen felt a little guilty when she saw this height, and she was afraid of Liu Jinpeng and refused to jump, so she had to ask Lin Lin, a guy who didn't know what it meant to be afraid, to jump first. Lin Lin hung the umbrella on the zipline without hesitation at all, and jumped out with a kick. When the person went down, he automatically opened the umbrella. It took Lin Lin a few seconds to reach the air cushion and rolled into a ball with the umbrella surface. It was the staff who helped him out.
This made Li Xiwen a little more courageous. Liu Jinpeng comforted her for a while, and threatened her again, "If you don't dance, I will jump first, leave you alone on it."
Li Xiwen angled the umbrella hook in anger, carefully checked the equipment, turned around and said, "Help me see if the laces are tight, and the helmet also help me see. The rope behind them is not twisted together, right?" She had a lot of things. Liu Jinpeng carefully checked them and told her that it was okay. Then he kissed her a little at her request. Anyway, the teacher pretended not to see it.
Li Xiwen walked to the opening and looked down and retreated a little, muttering: "I didn't think 50 meters are so high before. The viewing platform is almost 100 meters long. Why am I a little nervous now?" Isn't this nonsense? The viewing platform has a guardrail, and the place where I usually sit is a distance from the guardrail. The opening is not protected, so the psychological factors are different.
Liu Jinpeng wanted to kick her out from behind, but thinking about the consequences of doing so, he immediately extinguished this idea. In fact, when the paratroopers were parachuting, there was a dedicated person to "send umbrellas" at the hatch, which was to kick those paratroopers who were temporarily hesitant. This shows that even paratroopers who had experienced countless parachuting practices and training would hesitate about this situation, which is normal.
With Liu Jinpeng's encouragement, Li Xiwen finally overcame the fear in her heart and closed her eyes and jumped down. It has to be said that she was actually illegal to do this. She must not close her eyes in the middle of the skydiving. If there are any branches below or the ground is not suitable for parachute landing, she has to adjust the direction and observe the situation at any time. However, the princess jumped and landed safely. Since she was closing her eyes, she did not do a good job of landing, and was wrapped in the umbrella like Lin Lin.
After the process was done below, Lin Lin and Li Xiwen both stood aside and watched, and Liu Jinpeng jumped down. His landing movements were pretty good. What's more luck was that this guy was not wrapped in the umbrella, so the guy bragged for a long time and was still blowing when he was having a meal. (To be continued.)
