SPORT, IN THE NAME OF WHICH IS NOT afraid of dying (continued, Part 9) Aiello led the group to the spot where the staircase leading to the walkway of the bridge, turn at right angles. Handrails are here have the same design as on the bridge, so Aiello told the students: "Practice-ka little is as it should climb on the handrail as to hang over an imaginary precipice (convulsively clutching fingers into the metal and whiter with fear, just kidding) and how to jump down. " Aiello explained that the bruises that students clearly gain after the first jump will not because that dramatically opens the parachute, and not because of a hard landing, as someone thought of them before. The bulk of students will have bruises, when they climb on the handrail due to excessive force applied hands and feet to a metal bridge construction, for which they shall walk, and for which will cling to. Students began to practice. While the majority was satisfied with one or two attempts, Larvie, as usual, did an exercise about ten times. When the band went into the middle of the bridge to the separation point, she came back and jumped a couple of times. "I can do" - a barely audible voice she murmured, her face pale. When he reached the middle of the bridge, the students completed a final check of equipment, like wearing seat belts, properly located the pilot chute bridle, fastened whether all the tabs and Velcro. Aiello then double-checked the equipment of all charges. Israeli named Noam Ktalav climbed onto the handrail, glanced quickly toward their comrades, and strange ways stuck out his tongue, turning it into a cone. Turning then face towards the abyss waiting for him, he began to count "Three ... two ... one ... eeeeeeeehhhhhh!" And jumped. For Garvey process climbing the rail was a very difficult job, because due to its low growth was railing her from the waist up. With the effort of clinging to the details of the lattice, which held the rail, first lap, then her fingers, she slowly but surely climbed up, and then successfully turned to the desired position. She paused for several seconds, then refraining from playful and pokazushnyh facial expressions, loudly, clearly and seriously counted the rhyme, and jumped. "Straighten too much," - said Aiello. Beginners BASE jumpers get a lot more bruising, breaking the railings of the bridge than on the landings falling body never looks natural. Between the moment when the jumper lets his hands and jumps down and the moment when he falls down, there is a conditional moment of the beginning of the jump. But the transition between these two phases is very short, never think that one action is gradually transformed into another. Only that person, usually a living person, with their emotions and desires, and the other by nature, only that he was hung over a deep chasm on the other side of the handrail, and then - a dramatic change! He is no longer quite human, and falling objects decrease in size, ballast, drawn to the bottom of the abyss, where it waits for disaster if people did not intervene. And the man intervenes, throwing out a pilot dome, followed by the main parachute gently crushes and gaining air. When you look at the top, it looks quite light-hearted, short shrift in the dome when the jumper is halfway to the bottom of the gorge. But when you jump yourself, then everything feels quite differently. Tightened belts jumper always thinks of only one, no matter how well he knows his equipment. One thought pursues the person in flight: "If only everything was as it should happen!". Start material: Read more:
