跳機的感覺是怎樣的？

今次我特別邀請了同我一起跳傘的King，講下我們對跳傘感覺有幾懸殊。

The basic sequence of sky diving:

1. Take a short class

2. Pick a jump if needed

3. Wear safety instrument

4. Yell “I’m ready”

5. Bundle yourself up with the instructor

6. Get on the overage former military aircraft (it doesn’t look safe nor reliable)

7. Look at the altitude watch until the aircraft reaches 1,4000

8. Open the gate

9. Being slide to gate edge

10. Jump!!!woohoooo

11. Free fall for 10 – 20 seconds

12. Open parachute

13. Land!!!!!!!!

跳傘的基本流程：

1. 先聽課

2. 選一件適合的降傘衣

3. 再佩戴安全配件

4. 高呼「我已經準備好」

5. 與教練繫緊、合體

6. 登上感覺不穩陣的退役軍機

7. 看着高度錶直至離地15,000尺

8. 機門打開

9. 扇到機門前

10. 教練會跳下去，同時把你拉下

11. 無重下墮60秒

12. 打開降傘

13. 著地！！！

What Lilian says about sky diving

In fact I don’t like the feeling of jumping off or falling down abruptly, so I don’t usually ride roller
coaster nor turbo drop. My max would be the space mountain in Disneyland. However, holding the spirit of “you only live once”,  I decided to try sky diving without considering how horrible it could be.Until the moment I got onto the overage and unreliable (look like) aircraft, I was freaking out. When my instructor told me it’s our turn, I was saying, can I just stay in the aircraft? I don’t wanna jump!!! Do you know how scary it was?Obviously I had no choice since he has already slid me down, the centrifugal force was undescriptive that I just want a ground to stand on. Like what King said, even you scream loudly inside the cloud, you still fail to hear yourself.After all, tasting the cloud once is already enough, I promise I won’t do it again!

Lilian 對跳傘的看法

老實說，我不太喜歡高空下墮的感覺，所以過山車、跳樓機也不是我杯茶；我頂多會玩的只有迪士尼樂園的飛越太空山。但我在澳洲時，抱著「人一世物一世」的信念，不暇思索地參加了這項要簽生死狀才能參與的運動。登上那破舊軍機的一刻，我開始緊張起來。當教練叫我準備時，我只想縮沙，那時，我還在為跳入那看不到地面的雲層而感到不寒而慄，轉眼間，教練已把我推出機倉。你可以想像有多可怕嗎？超級離心的過程長達一分鐘，之後教練才會開傘給你欣賞風景。即使你在雲層間尖叫，你也不會聽到自己的聲音；張開口反而會讓你嚐到雲層的味道。跳過傘後，你就會明白腳踏實地是多麼幸福！而我認為經歷這麼恐怖的事，一次就夠了！********************************************************************

What King says about sky diving

If everyone gets their own checklist to do in lifetime, sky diving is on the top of mine.Different from Lilian, “Dauntless Adventurer” has always been the word how people describe me. Bungee Jumping, river rafting and aerobic aircraft flying are the illustration of activities I tried to challenge my limit. “Everyday do something that remind you are still alive” is my favorite motto said by the Bungy jump founder AJ Hackett. And yea, I am this kind of person. So anyone tell me why not to try skydiving?That day I was equipped with the parachutes, went on plane and saw myself getting far away from the ground, I just felt extremely excited at that moment. I was attached to my instructor Mick and He was trying to use every way to scare me out. The flyers like me were being pushed out one by one. When my name was called, I stepped out , literally forced by Mick as we had linked-up tight together. I could feel my crazily heart beat while standing at the edge of the plane. I looked down and just recognized myself at nowhere but the middle of the sky. The only words that come out from my mouth are “What the fXXk am I doing? Then the gravity helped us to do the rest and let me flew ,in fact “fell”, in the sky.”WOW HOAAAAAAAAAH!” What I had to do was enjoying every single moment in the air. I could not stop yelling to celebrate this accelerating fallen moment. Owing to the air movement, I could not hear what I shouted. The air kept coming into my chest and force me to ‘taste’ the cloud. The cloud tasted a bit sweet by the way. I got almost 1min to free fall. It was incredibly peaceful to fly, or fall? After the parachutes was opened, I couldn’t left my eye from the spectacular scenery. Mike asked me to take the control for the landing direction as he thought I were fearless to handle it even that was my first free fall. Maybe he could smell we shared the same kind of crazy people genes. We landed at the exact spot with his guidance. I could not explain how real I felt when I stepped on the ground.And Yes!?  I am still ALIVE, and you?

 King 對跳傘的看法

每個人心目中都應該會有一張人生必做事情的清單，而我的清單頂頭位置早就放了空中降傘這一項。由細到大，可能因為我都喜歡參與一些一般人眼中高危膽大又刺激的活動，所以身邊朋友無論大小都叫我做「痴線仔」。「痴線仔」這個稱呼陪我由北半球踏到南半球，笨豬跳跳到海底漫步。朋友經常問我：「何解你會做咁多咁癲的事嫁？你係咪真係痴嫁」我每次都會一笑置之，心裹回答：「痴又如何？每日都應該去做些事情去提醒我自己仲活著，理得邊個話我痴。橫掂未試過雲層咁高跳落去，點解有機會唔試下？」如是者，我膽粗粗就聯同Lilian去嘗試一萬四千呎高空一躍而下是什麼感覺。由穿上降傘衣到被飛機送上高空，我都被我當日的指導員Mike以各種靠嚇型式告知這項活動的失事率何其的高，他又自嘲說從來沒有跳傘經驗，當然無需明眼人也知道他是完全徹底的胡說八道。隨著飛機的高度逐漸攀高，機上的人逐一被趕下客機。其實就算我想作出反抗也是徒然，因為我早已經暗地裹被Mike用扣把我倆的生命緊緊地扣在一起。與其說我自己步到機艙門口等待跳下，不如形容為不反抗地被指導員武力抱走。當我腳踏在飛機旁邊的一瞬間，我只發現的身處於天空當中，雲層之上。剎那衝口而出的一句出自最真的真心話：「我響樹做緊咩ｘ野？」其後我什麼都不用做，地心吸力就直接把我和Mike從機艙拉了出外。一躍而下，在極速下降的大氣裹我可以做到的，除了尖叫，還是尖叫。但由於空氣高速從雲層中流動到我的肺門內，任我怎麼力揭聲嘶也好像被按了靜音鍵般的叫不出聲。但亦因為此我可以真真正正的品嘗到雲彩那冰凍又甜甜的味道。其後你有大約半分鐘的時間享受無重狀態帶給你的快感。之後降傘會在一定的高度展開，我有高達兩分多鐘的時間去觀賞四周和把剛才的興奮快感用盡全力呼喊出來。教練見我由始到終面無懼色，把他手心上控制方法的繩圈套在我的手上，再發師號令跟隨著他指令到達目標降落位置。雙腳觸地的一剎那，我深切感受到原來腳踏地的感覺是這般真實。喂！我仲活著，你呢？

Tips for first time sky diver:

1. Don’t go skydiving before/ after you do scuba diving or take plane for at least three days

2. If you’re not a morning person, do it in the afternoon, it takes time for your body to adapt the horror.

3. Don’t eat too full, you may want to puke.

3. Wear a little bit more than you used to, the temperature up there there is much lower.

4. Make sure your eyes goggle is worn properly, otherwise you will have no hand to fix it meanwhile, which you may feel uncomfortable.

5. Do some makeup as the wind, the gravity, and the eyes goggle can all ruin your face. If not, you will find yourself very ugly in the pictures.

給首跳者的溫馨提示：

1. 不要在潛水或搭飛機前後三天跳傘

2.如果你不習慣早起，就要選擇下午時分跳傘，你的身體需要時間適應

3. 如果你不想嘔就不要吃太飽

4. 跳傘前要確保你的眼罩位置正確，因為你需要清晰的視野欣賞風景

5. 無論是風、下墮力抑或眼罩，都會使你面容扭曲。如果你希望後期製作的照片可以給大家分享，那記住化個防水妝。
