If you ever want to jump with a parachute, then you may need information on jumping technique. Of course, no instructor will let you out of the plane without training, but theoretical training still does not hurt.

airfield - plane - parachute
Instructions
Step 1
The described events occur directly at the moment of the jump, when you are standing in front of the opening. Starting position - the left leg is put back and bent at the knee. The right leg is bent at the knee and stands close to the doorway. The right arm is bent at the elbow and holds the pulling ring (it is on the left side of the chest and, in fact, is a pentagonal frame). The left arm is bent at the elbow and rests on the elbow of the right arm.
Step 2
You need to push off with your left foot and jump out of the plane. At the moment of the jump, it is necessary to tightly squeeze the legs at the hips and knees, press the ankles together and begin the "paratrooper's counting".
Step 3
Immediately after the jump, you need to start the countdown ("paratrooper's counting rhyme"), preferably aloud: "A thousand times, one thousand two, one thousand three." You need to count in this way. This is done to ensure that three seconds have passed after the parachutist exits the plane. If we simply count "one, two, three", there is a great risk that the paratrooper will count too quickly, the time required for separation from the aircraft will not pass, and the paratrooper himself will catch on the fuselage and die. During the countdown, three seconds pass, and the parachutist flies about a hundred meters.
Step 4
After the countdown is over, you need to pull the pull ring, sharply straightening your right hand. If the left hand lies on the elbow of the right hand, then the lever created by the right hand will be strengthened, and the ring is guaranteed to open the parachute. Next, you need to continue the countdown: "One thousand five, one thousand six." During this time, if everything is done correctly, the parachute has already come out of the knapsack and fully opened. In this case, you will feel a gentle jolt. Nevertheless, it is necessary to look up and check the opening of the dome.
Step 5
After the canopy has opened, you need to turn off the safety device. The belay device is attached to the belt. If the parachutist for some reason cannot open the main parachute, the reserve parachute is deployed at an altitude of 300 meters (the device can be configured to open at other altitudes, but by default it is 300 meters). To disconnect, you need to pull out the cord that opens the reserve parachute. If the reserve parachute opens together with the main parachute, the flight characteristics of both parachutes will deteriorate, the fall will slow down, and the likelihood of injury upon landing will increase. In order not to forget to turn off the device, the "Pull the cord" command is provided in the reader. In full, the counting-out reads as follows: "A thousand times, one thousand two, one thousand three, ring, dome, one thousand five, one thousand six, pull out the cord."
Step 6
Enjoy your flight. This will take approximately one to one and a half minutes. Use the lines to steer the parachute.
Step 7
When passing a height of 300 meters, the belay device will chirp. This is the signal to prepare for landing - this will happen in about 20 seconds. Direct preparation for landing should be started at an altitude of about 150 meters - at this altitude, individual small elements on the Earth's surface become distinguishable - blades of grass, gobies, bottles. From this moment on, you need to tightly squeeze your legs, as when you exit the plane, and bend them at the knees.
Step 8
After passing a height of 150 meters, it is highly advisable to look at a point above the horizon, and in no case look at your feet. Since the appearance of objects from this height does not differ much from the appearance that you observe while on Earth, you will instinctively try to "catch" the surface with your feet. Since the speed at the surface will be about 3 meters per second, if you really "catch" the surface, you will break both your legs, and possibly something else. If you cannot see the ground, it will be easier for you to keep your legs bent.
Step 9
Immediately at the time of landing, you need to spring with bent legs and fall on your side. If you are a normal person, and not a chronic loser, then you will not hurt yourself, since you can only get injured if you did something wrong or got kicked into (for example) a wormhole.
Step 10
Extinguish your parachute. To do this, you need to squeeze the air out of the dome - otherwise there is a chance that the dome will fill up and you will be dragged behind it. To extinguish the parachute, simply lean against the canopy with your whole body.
