The parachute On Saturday I've had a superb adventure! My friend called me to perform a parachute jump. We were waiting for it for two weeks. And finally the day came. I got up at 5 o'clock and went out from home at 6. I could go by motorbike, but it was in the garage after I had smashed into the car last week. So, since I live on the other side of Moscow region, I went by the train, then subway, and at last a bus delivered us to the airport located near the city Chehov. Because of traffic jams we arrived late, so our group was the last. Before getting into the plane you have to take the training for 4 hours. At the training, experienced old men who had accomplished more than 1500 jumps, taught us what we have to do if we want to stay alive. He even told us about necessary actions we have to execute if we stuck on the tree for example. And it was very useful knowledge :) Earlier, I had taken the action camera from friend of mine. During the recording it attached to the head, and you can see everything what the operator sees. I had recorded some videos with the riding the motorbike. So, I wanted to record my jump too. But unfortunately instructor didn't let me to put it on my head, because it was my first jump. Never mind, I will record my next jumps. Eventually we put on the parachutes and went to the plane. It was old plane "Antonov An-2", designed in USSR in 1946. It wound up and began to move. Then it took off, and building began to decrease. After a minute, instructor got up four people and then opened the plane's door. It was rather scary, but I knew I have to jump! If I didn't jump, I wouldn't forgive myself. So, it was my turn, I heard instructor's shout "Go!" and jumped down. It was state of rapture and fear when I was counting "501, 502, 503, ring!" I pulled the ring and main parachute opened. I checked it, all was fine, reserve parachute wasn't useful. And then relaxation came) I shouted to my friends, sky neighbors, and they answered me, it was gorgeous state of flight! I landed on the field, assembled the parachute and went to the start point. Jump was committed. Unfortunately, our girls were out of luck. Two of them landed in the wood and my friend who had called me there got into the electrical wires, then smashed into the house and then fell on the car. But she is so lucky! She only got a little cut and brain concussion. Now she is in hospital, but she is fine. In spite of that accident I want to repeat my experience. The feeling of flight is awesome!
