Discounting the Myths
Myth: A person will not be able to breathe during freefall Fact: In contrast to this unfounded belief, a skydiver will still be able to breathe during the freefall. Otherwise, all of the skydivers would have been unconscious right be fore they could ever get the chance to open up their parachutes! Myth: A person will be able to have a conversation during freefall Fact: Even though many of us must have seen Wesley Snipes have exactly done that one of his movies entitled Drop Zone, in reality this is not possible. During freefall, the sound of the wind screaming through your ears would be loud enough for you to be able to hear anything, much less hold a conversation. What does this tells us? Nothing, except for the fact that it would be best not to entirely rely your facts on a movie. However, you have still be able to make some hand signals, the most possible form of conversation you will be able to make up in the air. Myth: You can jump of a plane without a parachute and just grab someone who is equipped with one. This will enable you to float down to the ground safely by sharing a parachute with another person. Fact: This is yet another of the typical Wesley Snipes move that can only be seen in Drop Zone that can be safely disregarded as one of the Hollywood miracle stunts. Again, in real life such feat is quite impossible to achieve mainly because when the parachute opens, the human body is actually subjected to a tremendous force. This means that there is a 99.9% chance that anyone holding on to that body will be flung off unceremoniously. This gives you rather clear warning not to test the possibilities of the remaining .1%, unless of course if your quite suicidal enough to try it. Myth: A typical freefall usually lasts up to five minutes. Fact: In general, a skydiving plane would cruise roughly about 10, 000 to 12, 000 feet, which means that this can give you about 35 seconds of freefalling experience before you open up your parachute. To be able to freefall for a full five minytes, the plane has to climb up to 60, 00 feet up. |
