I want to be a paratrooper. Is skydiving scary?

In fact, simply skydiving is relatively easy and simple, so there is no need to be afraid at all!

The squad leader’s kicking is an exaggeration! The order of skydiving is that the person with the highest weight comes first, so the person behind you may not be the squad leader.

Before the recruits jump for the first time, they have undergone systematic ground training, so stage fright before jumping is extremely rare! Since troops often use the forced parachute opening method when parachuting (that is, the main parachute automatically opens the moment it leaves the plane), hesitation at the hatch will affect the distance of subsequent parachutes. Evacuation by hatch protection personnel and instructors is also possible.

The standard skydiving height is 800 meters (in fact, there is not much difference in height between 800 and 8,000 meters), and the ground wind speed does not exceed 8 meters.

Five seconds after leaving the aircraft, if the main parachute is not open, you can open the backup parachute on the chest. In reality, the use of a backup parachute may be far less than 1%, and more than half of the accidents have nothing to do with the reliability of the parachute. Therefore, the safety of skydiving is very high! It’s also easy to master skills!

In comparison, sea skydiving, low-altitude skydiving, and stunt skydiving are slightly more complicated. Compared with paratroopers, parachuting is relatively easy. The difficulty lies in carrying the weight of combat equipment, concentration after landing, tactical deployment and coordination after landing. Parachuting is just a release process. Personally, I feel a little nervous about skydiving for the first time, but after the first time, it can be said to be more enjoyable. Because you are already familiar with the process. When you jump towards the earth, when you are suspended in the air, overlooking the earth (sea), and feel the vacuum-like tranquility, that feeling cannot be experienced on the ground!

In fact, folk skydiving is a very common sport abroad. It even affects weddings, children, the elderly, and animals. Therefore, regular skydiving, with a little training, is something that any ordinary person can easily do! The reason why you are worried is because you don’t know much about skydiving. This is the same as worrying about flying for the first time!

One more thing: the falling distance and impact time of bungee jumping are generally higher than those of skydiving, so there is no need for you to be timid!
