Is skydiving safe? Guide to skydiving

In the sport of skydiving, many people are actually worried that it is not safe enough. In fact, this project is very unsafe, but no one knows whether there will be any accidents, although the chance is very small. Let’s learn more about this event below. Is skydiving scary?

Whether you ask me about my feelings when I first skydive, or how I feel now when I am leading a professional skydiving, I don’t think it is scary at all. On the contrary, there will be an inexplicable excitement before skydiving.

In fact, friends who have never skydived will subconsciously feel that skydiving at high altitude will be very scary. In fact, these are subconscious thoughts based on daily experience.

The birth of emotions such as danger and fear of heights actually requires clear reference objects for comparison to generate corresponding awareness. When skydiving, there are actually no reference objects around; therefore, people’s reactions to speed, sense of space, etc. are “relatively slow”. Therefore, subconscious self-protection reactions cannot be activated during skydiving, and thus no The so-called "emotion of terror".

What's more, if it is an experience-based skydiving (tandem skydiving), you will be very "at ease" if a professional instructor takes you with you. Three people become tigers, that's what it means.

What is the difference in experience between skydiving and bungee jumping, roller coasters, etc.?

Continuing the above topic, the free fall and high speed of skydiving occur at high altitudes, and there is no reference object, so You will feel that everything around you is still, only the whistling of the wind. The feeling of bungee jumping and roller coaster is different. You will feel the ground crashing towards you instantly, which has a strong visual impact. So from this perspective, bungee jumping is much more exciting than skydiving.

On the other hand, there is a sense of weightlessness.

Skydiving does not have the strong feeling of weightlessness that riding a roller coaster does, because skydiving is falling according to its own gravity, while the body of a roller coaster has a speed and then carries your body forward, so if you sit on a skydiving When riding a roller coaster, you will feel your heart pressing against your back, and you will feel a strong sense of weightlessness. High-altitude skydiving is safe and unsafe

First of all, high-altitude skydiving is actually very, very safe (if it were unsafe, the country would not allow the commercialization of this type of sport).

Second point, take the current skydiving system of the Hump Skydiving Club as an example. A set of parachute bags actually contains three layers of emergency protection mechanisms. The first layer is the main umbrella, the second layer is the backup umbrella, and the third layer is the automatic umbrella opener. In other words, if your main parachute cannot open during skydiving, you can immediately cut off the main parachute and replace it with a spare parachute for a safe landing; if unfortunately, even the spare parachute is broken, it doesn't matter, there is another one Automatic umbrella opener. There is an intelligent computer chip inside. When it senses that the parachute cannot be opened even though the parachute has entered a dangerous altitude, the computer program will automatically open the parachute. It really achieves "three preventions of side leakage".
