Let me tell you something about my skydiving.

Skydiving, in fact, the skydiving that most tourists play is called double skydiving, that is, there is a professional coach holding you to jump, and the safety factor is relatively high. Because some professional skydivers jump by themselves, and no matter where you go skydiving in the world, it is basically the coach who takes you. I have been telling my coach from the beginning that you must fasten it. Finally, he got bored and told me sincerely: trust me. Ok, believe you)

2. Is it difficult to master the movements?

It's basically a fool's action. Before jumping, someone will show you three basic movements: bending your legs out of the cabin, flying freely like a bird, landing and lifting your legs (the description may be inaccurate, please poke the picture below). Personally, I think the landing action is the most important, the speed is relatively fast, and the legs are raised a little to avoid accidents. Other things, flying in the sky have been completely forgotten.

3. What do you wear when skydiving?

The skydiving company will uniformly require them to wear blue pants and just put them over their pants. Just wear your own coat. Wear sneakers. If you wear inappropriate shoes such as sandals, they will provide you with flat canvas shoes.

Do you skydive every day?

Unless the weather such as strong wind, heavy rain and fog is predicted clearly, it is luck. Because when I first arrived in Wan Li, the sky was clear and Wan Li was clear, but I just couldn't jump, because the wind speed measured by the helicopter was very high. The second time I came, it was windy but cloudy, but I could jump. So this thing is a bit lucky. Especially for friends who come to travel for a short stay, if they insist on jumping, try to stay for one more day to prevent jumping on the first day and switch to the next day.

5. Is skydiving expensive?

Take skydiving in Wollongong as an example. The official price of skydiving is $300, equivalent to about RMB 1500. I ordered it on Taobao, as long as 1070. Insurance 30 yuan, you can choose whether to buy it or not. Photos and videos 149 yuan, taxes and fees 62 yuan. Insurance, photos and videos, taxes and fees should be paid separately after arriving at the skydiving site, preferably with cash. There is a handling fee for swiping the card. Visa and master cards are supported, but UnionPay is not supported.

6. What is the process of skydiving?

Preparation: the staff will give you blue pants and life jacket first; Then, everyone's corresponding coach will come to see you, help you put on your equipment, that is, the black sling, and help you fasten it. After that, the coach will open gopro and let you talk to the video. Just like my little friend Doris and I are complacent, we can talk about our feelings and tell our parents our true feelings without the guidance of the coach. Some people don't like to talk, and the coach will guide you and ask you how you feel now and what you want to say to your family. Gaspard, my little friend, is an introvert. Fortunately, Doris and I are here, so in his video, we are all talking, and he and his coach are watching us quietly. Doris's voice even appeared in the video of my Beijing friend I met by chance.

To the airport: The same people, including their coach, will take a minibus to the small airport. After arriving at the airport, everyone follows the coach into the small plane (remember that the earlier you enter, the later you jump), and the plane will soon climb and take off. The coach will help you record some pictures of take-off and after flight, and will also ask you how you feel now. When the plane climbs to almost the same height, the coach will buckle your strap with his strap, help you put on goggles and tell you which jump you are;

Out of the hatch: the hatch is open and you are dragged out by the coach. (Flying out means that compared with some coaches, they will take students to the door, sit still for a second or two, and then jump. My coach hugged me and flew straight out. I flew into the blue sky without hesitation, regretting and fearing.

Free fall: there will be a free fall for a few seconds at first, and the whole process will rotate 360 degrees in the blue sky. After about four or five seconds, the coach will pat you twice. At this time, you need to open your arms. Anyway, you can fly like a bird.

Open an umbrella: at this time, you are sitting, so you can have enough time and energy to see the scenery, look up, look left and right. The coach will also take you to play parachute. He can pull the rope, and you can hold it yourself. Then the coach will show you where to land and remind you to bend your leg again.

Landing: The final landing speed is very fast. The coach will control the parachute to descend quickly and then adjust the direction. The coach will land before you, so as long as your legs are not in a straight position, there will be no accidents. Wait about half an hour, and your photos and videos (send a 4G USB flash drive) and certificate will be sent to you.

7. Are there any precautions for skydiving?

1) Girls with medium and long hair try to tie their hair well to avoid it flying to the coach's face. It's not easy to demonstrate ~ ~ ~

2) Keep good communication with the coach. If you need anything, you should tell them, for example, you want to take a photo with him, or you want to stay in the air for a while (Doris told her coach, so she danced earlier than me and finished later than me). The coach is still very good, but dancing several times a day is already very stereotyped, which will inevitably help you think badly.

3) Girls must wear makeup, and lips are the key point. Because the video will look better, otherwise a pale and deformed face really doesn't look good.

4) The left hand can write some small wishes with a marker, or take the opportunity to express them in the air and show them to the camera in the air.

5) Think about your gestures and expressions in advance. If there is no script in advance, it is really stupid to jump, and I don't know why I am facing the camera. Watching the video when landing will be a bit boring (after all, watching yourself jump is still very exciting)

6) Please bring enough dry food and playing cards. Because skydiving requires high winds, sometimes you will be suddenly informed that there is wind and you can't jump. Just wait 1 hour or more. So I suggest you bring enough food to play, so it won't be too boring. In addition, I recommend a super delicious restaurant near skydiving in Wollongong, just by the sea, called Diggies Cafe, and you can google it yourself.

8. Ask and answer questions

Q: Can I bring contact lenses or frame glasses for skydiving?

A: Both will do. There is also a windshield outside, so it doesn't matter what's inside. It is recommended to wear contact, otherwise it will be tied tightly.

Q: Can I wear necklaces, rings and earrings for skydiving?

A: The necklace is easy to clip, so don't wear it. The ring is easy to drop, so don't wear it; Earrings and watches can be worn.

Q: What is the means of transportation to Wollongong?

A: The skydiving company will have a bus to take you back to Sydney, which is very convenient. You can also choose your own train or come by car.

Q: Which is easier, skydiving or bungee jumping?

Skydiving is of course spicy. Because skydiving is accompanied by the coach all the time, as long as you dare to take the step of paying money bravely, there is basically no retreat. Once the hatch is opened, there is no room for hesitation and it has been dragged down. Bungee jumping is even more torturous, because you have to stand there by yourself, look down, and then constantly struggle whether to jump or not. Many people gave up at the last minute.

Q: What's wrong with skydiving?

A: Only the ears will squeak and feel uncomfortable. Hold your nose and take a few deep breaths after landing.
