Skydiving - The Thrill

Skydive (terjun udara). Pernah tengok iklan ni? Yuna skydive. Aku memang geram betul dengan extreme sport camtu. xtahulah tapi dah memang darah aku camtu kot. har3 (ketawa riak)

Menurut wiki Parachuting, also known as skydiving, is the action of exiting an aircraft and returning to earth with the aid of a parachute. It may or may not involve a certain amount of free-fall, a time during which the parachute has not been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.

Kelajuan masa keluar dari kapal terbang adalah 140km/h, pastu masa tengah jatuh tu kalo badan selari dengan bumi kelajuan lebih kurang 190km/h (bayangkan korang naik moto pecut 190km/h). Tapi kalo nk best agi korang bagi kepala jatuh dulu. yang tu boleh gi sampai 240-320kmh. OMG i love that =)

Sebelum boleh skydive sesuke hati korang kene belajar dulu. Macam nak bace buku jugak. Kene belajar abc dulu. Ade 3 teknik yang biasa diguna untuk ajar new student ni. Accelerated Freefall, Tandem ngan StaticLine.

Static Line

During a jump with static line, the parachute is linked to the airplane. The static line opens the parachute without intervention of the student and regardless of his position. The student remains in freefall for three seconds, about 50 meters, before his main canopy gets completely opened. This time is sufficient enough for a student to experience the air pressure and become aware of his position until the full opening of his canopy.


Tandem

Tandem skydiving or tandem parachuting refers to a type of skydiving where a student skydiver is connected via a harness to a tandem instructor. The instructor guides the student through the whole jump from exit through freefall, piloting the canopy, and landing. The student needs only minimal instruction before making a tandem jump. This is one of three commonly used training methods for beginning skydivers; the others being static line and Accelerated Freefall (known as Progressive Freefall in Canada).




 Accelerated Freefall

Accelerated freefall (AFF) (known in Canada as progressive freefall) is a method of skydiving training. This method of skydiving training is called "accelerated" because the progression is the fastest way to experience solo freefall, normally from 10,000 to 15,000 feet "Above Ground Level" (AGL).Under accelerated freefall, one or sometimes two instructors are dedicated just to one student.

In most AFF programs, two instructors jump with the student during their first three AFF jumps, although some programs may use only one instructor. On the initial levels, the instructor(s) hold on to the student until the student deploys their own parachute. Hence, this method is classified as "Harness Hold Training." The AFF instructors have no physical connection to the student other than their grip on the student, so once the student's parachute is deployed the instructors fly away and deploy their own canopies.




Perlu diingatkan sukan ini agak berbahaya. Perlu disiplin yang tinggi dan paling penting jangan buat2 pandai kalo xtahu ape2. Jangan sebab nak menunjuk korang terpaksa bayar dengan nyawa korang plak.

Kat malaysia jugak ade tawarkan perkhidmatan kalo sape2 yang berminat nak join bende nih (ne tau nanti jumpe aku kt sane tengah ternganga dengar ceramah). Kalo korang berminat boleh surf web nih Skydive Malaysia. Tapi get ready duit. Bende nih memang mahal. Huhu
