In the plane.
|
Ready, get set, ...
|
... go! This is not how you're meant to do a dive exit, I should have been facing the direction of flight...
|
... because otherwise ...
|
... you go all over the place!!
|
Not a good freefall position :-)
|
|
That's not too bad, if only my knees had been back a bit...
|
|
... then I wouldn't have done this...
|
When I get stable, I first have to do a backflip. (This one's slightly sideways!)
|
All the way over.
|
And get stable again.
|
|
Delta tracking - this is fast forward movement.
|
|
360 degrees right
|
|
|
I check my altitude - it's time for me to pull my parachute.
|
My parachute is opening... (this takes about 4 seconds).
|
The pilot chute (small white parachute) has just pulled the main (pink!) canopy out of the bag. Notice the line twists...
|
...that spin me 90 degrees to the right (but thankfully aren't any worse)
|
Parachute is almost open.
|
(The white "slider" slid down the lines just after this picture was taken, allowing the canopy to open fully).
