Extreme, or slow suicide? Part 13.

SPORT, IN THE NAME OF WHICH IS NOT afraid of dying (continued, ch.13) Students from among the more experienced jumpers have suggested that the jump is probably not worth it, "the wind trifled with." Gert-Louis Sillers, a student from South Africa, set out to climb over the handrail. "You're going to jump, or just want to be there, so nobody give a jump?" - Asked one of the most experienced adventurers. He replied: "I can not decide for someone else, then said, rhyme, strongly distorting the words of the African style, and jumped into the darkness. Opening parachute happened uncertainly, fabric is too varied. Once the dome was filled with air at its center was a small contraction. The effect was short-lived, however, all significantly reduced the time of controlled flight under the dome, Sillers did not have time "steered" in the landing zone and landed on the river bank. While he collected his equipment, the other students watched as quickly flashed at the bottom of a tiny ray of light from his head-torch. It was like a little glow-worm movement in the grass. On the bridge broke debate - whether there was a dangerous jump? Aiello supported the opinion of experienced jumpers that everyone must decide for himself, will he jump or not. More than half of the participants pochli for the happiness to get off the bridge on foot. Arno Shute, another guy from South Africa, has decided not to leave a friend and countryman, one in the dark, and decided to fly to him and then together they could climb on the rocks. He jumped into a dark abyss, and very soon his parachute opened easily. However, a sharp gust of wind swept it under the bridge and everyone gasped How would Arno collided in darkness with any obstacle. Once a guy has landed - the canyon was filled with his loud cry, no, no pain, but to comrades knew what he was all right. A few seconds later rang the mobile, it Shute warned his comrades that they do not jump because of the trees was too much turbulence. Errors and minor injuries in the last day in the death camp Aiello decided to interrupt the routine of everyday bestravmatichnyh hops began to do "debriefing", more accurately, parsing errors that prevented the students for the entire period of study. Because the process was filmed a lot of jumping video, the conversation turned substantial. Stop the moment! Of course, the training week was not without minor blots and blunders. For example, one opened his parachute jumper in the wrong direction, and then he just does not curl straps. Then Ktalav made a "sliding" landing on the rocks, resulting in a hole in his trousers, pants, yes to the same left on the rock much of the skin. Whereupon he said: "The normal place for a touchdown, but not for Chip and Dale." The case even when the Arno Shute snagged his foot dome Sillersa when they did double jump. However, the overall impression from a few dozen jumps positive, because on screen you could see people doing dangerous stunts collected, with a desire and a smile, without any kind of fear or nervousness. Those little mistakes that were made, do not spoil the overall picture. At least for the downhill skiers make mistakes a lot more. On the other hand, Aiello said the ward a few days earlier: "People do not always suffer from the fact that they take the wrong decisions, so often they begin to mistakenly believe that these decisions were correct."
