I took up skydiving in my twenties. At the time the accident happened, I'd done just 30 jumps. The airfield was quiet when I 36 . On board were Chris, who was taking a tourist, and Ants, the cameraman. Chris indicated I should exit first and the other three would 37 . Later I knew it was this 38 that saved my life.
At 12,000 feet Chris rolled up the door and nodded that it was time for my exit. I put my foot on a step just beside the door, and in an instand the propeller blast (螺旋桨气流) threw me against the side of the plane, half in, half out. I pushed and got my other leg out of the door, but in doing so I found myself 39 down the body of the plane towards the tail. My parachute (降落伞) got caught and my 40 and legs were pushed backwards, powerless, in the strong wind.
I was strangely 41 .To a skydiver, being at 12,000 feet is a good thing.Altitude is your friend;being close to the ground is deadly and will kill you.
Ants appeared and moved slowly towards me, his legs held by Chris in the door.Ants reached out and got hold of my foot.With the weight partly off, I found myself falling away from the plane, 42 freed.I waved and smiled to indicate I was fine.
It was actually very 43 .If any one of a number of factors had been different, I would have 44 .I could have hit the plane with my head.If I had been the last to exit, the pilot alone would have been unable to free me, and even if he had been aware that I was 45 underneath the plane, he would still have had to land at some point.
Blue Skies, Black Death is the skydivers' mantra (咒语).On the one hand, there's the freedom and 46 of the open sky.But in order to 47 this joy, you must accept that there is usually only one result if something goes wrong.
