What to do if you fall out of a plane without a parachute - instructions for rescue. How an American extreme sportsman made a crazy jump without a parachute. Such a jump could make your heart jump out of your chest.

The man in the video is called Travis Pastrana, all the details are on the website.

In general, this is a Guinness World Record for jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.

Here's what experienced people write:

- Well, in principle, people have all sorts of desires, someone wants to base jump thinking that it is safer than skydiving and that everything is fine, someone begins to feel like a hero and wants, without experience, to jump at night or jump from 4000m without an instructor and AFF classes, but all these are already ordinary cases. It’s just that when you look at this whole thing for the first time from a monitor or TV screen, it’s all very beautiful, delightful, inspiring, but no one sees the other side of the coin. Immediately, questions arise like “Where do they teach bass, how to start jumping?” When you begin to delve a little into everything that is happening, then each time you realize how much more complicated everything is than it seemed. Well, if a person has such a great desire and aspiration, then I think it’s not worth fighting off everything in the bud, but it’s also not worth helping to clean up. Let him go and jump with a standard parachute from a normally flying plane, start parachuting, and then the realization will come. You see, if priorities don’t change in a couple of years, which I terribly doubt, then it will come to the originally set goal.

- to try to prepare and accomplish this, I think you may need to actively engage in parachuting for 3-4 years (well, if in days, then approximately 1095-1461 days), during which it is advisable to make at least 1000 jumps.

And people ask:

- Were there such people in Russia? I'm interested in the price of the issue, provided there are no jumps. preparation time in days and approximate price in rubles. I ask you to answer only to the point

And the answer is in 2010 prices

- Well, actually in the West, parachuting is developed and popularized much better than ours, and they jump there more often and sometimes more recklessly. When it is already difficult to surprise or be surprised by something, then for the sake of action they perform stunts, etc. Not many people performed such tricks, but, as a rule, they were very experienced athletes (by the way, some of them finished the game). So there is no question of such a trick even if there is no jumping experience and not for any earthly money. A beginner simply cannot stay in free fall; he needs to be trained. You can try to call a person who is freeflying with at least 1000 jumps experienced for such a trick, although even this is not enough. The main thing is that these jumps are effective. You can also add wind tunnel training there.

Well, I said the money was quite acceptable
600r one jump, 1000 jumps 600t. rub
Let's not forget to spend about 40,000 rubles on AFF
About 200,000 rubles for equipment (system, and other junk)
It is advisable to jump periodically with an instructor - how much money depends on how many lessons there will be
It's nice to fly in a tube, where one hour costs 22,000 rubles

At the same time, you need to spend every weekend at the airfield, or in short, you need to actively engage in parachuting. Well, if after a couple of years you actively jump and the desire to perform this trick does not disappear, then you will meet those scumbags who want to help you.

They say it's called banzai parachuting. Apparently, ordinary parachute jumps do not provide enough thrill for the Japanese parachutists, so they jump out of a flying plane after first throwing out a parachute. The idea is to catch your parachute mid-flight, put it on and release it before you die on impact.

This “sport” was originally invented in order to get into the Guinness Book of Records. A record of this can be found in the 2007 edition of the Book. After the publication of the Book, banzai parachuting quickly became popular in Japan, where anything that goes beyond the boundaries of the normal enjoys constant success.

But not everything is so simple, here it was with difficulty that the person was caught.

American skydiver Luke Aikins set a unique record by jumping without a parachute from a height of 7600 meters. After two minutes of flight, the 42-year-old extreme sportsman landed on a 30 by 30 meter grid stretched above the ground. The free fall speed reached 53 meters per second. "Lenta.ru" - about what happened before and after the crazy action.

“I still want to live - I have a wife and children”

“If I wasn’t worried, you could call me an idiot. When I was first offered to make such a jump, I refused. Any sane person would do this. I still want to live - I have a wife and children. One day I got up in the middle of the night and thought - is it even possible to do this? After all, if they offer it, then there is some way.” Luke Aikins spoke these words a few minutes after one of the most reckless actions in the history of mankind, which hardly anyone will dare to repeat in the near future.

Luke Aikins jumped from a light aircraft over Simi Valley, California, from an altitude of 25 thousand feet (just over 7600 meters). Three people accompanied him on the flight. One was broadcasting live for television. Another periodically let Aikins breathe from an oxygen mask. The third one corrected the flight.

The athlete's equipment is a green suit for parachute jumps, a helmet, and a thick collar on the neck to secure the vertebrae during landing. A video camera was attached to the chest, the signal from which was also received by television crews.

During the flight, the extreme sportsman was guided by special spotlights placed around a net with an area of ​​about a third of a football field. As soon as the skydiver deviated from the correct trajectory, the special equipment immediately informed him and the insurance team about this. At an altitude of about 1,500 meters, the accompanying people opened their parachutes - Aikins landed alone.

The record holder noted that although one can now talk about this jump “how simple it is,” for him everything was very serious. “We did it, I want to thank everyone for their support. I always thought that if you prepare correctly, if you train correctly, then you are capable of anything. During the flight, I felt like a levitating monk or a saint. Indescribable sensations!” - Aikins admitted on Facebook.

According to him, even as a child he was inspired by the example of US Air Force officer Joseph Kittinger, who on August 16, 1960 set a world record - he jumped with a parachute from a height of 31,300 meters. And in 2012, Aikins was one of the consultants of the Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner, a new record - 38,900 meters. "My whole life has been about the air, aviation, flying... I hope it sparks people's imaginations and that kids see the science behind it all," Aikins says.

Outstanding Deed

He has about 18 thousand parachute jumps under his belt. He first stepped overboard an airplane in tandem with an instructor thirty years ago. However, when a friend suggested he dive without a canopy, Aikins refused. “Great idea, I’ll help find someone who wants to do this, but I won’t do it myself, it’s not for me,” the parachutist replied.

But in the end he changed his mind. A clear jump and landing scheme was thought out. In Simi Valley, near Los Angeles, an elastic safety net was strung on four high-altitude cranes. Below it, just in case, is one more.

The preparation took about a month. Before the jump, Aikins trained a lot: he studied the wind pattern and air currents in the area. During the tests, one of the dummies dropped from a height at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour broke through the net in front of the extreme sportsman’s eyes, which hardly added to his enthusiasm. Until the last moment he was recommended to jump with insurance. He was forced to take his parachute with him before boarding the plane. But Aikins didn’t put it on - the extra weight would have interfered with his planning.

One of the main problems with such a jump is the sharp change in altitude, which causes surges in blood pressure. This is fraught with heart attack and stroke. Another danger is thin air. “Even if you jump from a height of 5 thousand meters, it is better to do it with an oxygen mask. Otherwise you may lose consciousness. At such an altitude, not to mention 7.5 kilometers, the air is rarefied, so there can be hypoxia and oxygen starvation,” Life.ru quotes resuscitator Artem Lugovoy.

Finally, landing. “The specialists are great, they calculated the tension of the mesh that can smoothly stop a falling parachutist. In addition, a miss literally 10-15 meters from the center of the net would have led to tragedy, and then, of course, this video would have received even more views, but, thank God, everything worked out, and the athlete made the stop with precision,” he noted. interview with the radio station “Moscow Speaks” with senior coach of the Russian national canopy piloting team Vadim Niyazov.

Landing precisely on a 30 by 30 meter grid is an extremely difficult task. Moreover, Aikins turned his back to the ground.

“The maneuver of turning onto your back is not difficult in itself. The difficulty was that, having turned over, he could no longer see the landing site. A slight deviation from the course could lead to death. The very moment of stopping the falling body did not happen so quickly, this reduced the overload. It was not easy to get into a given square during free fall, and close enough to the ground. This is an extraordinary, daring and risky leap. I don’t think there will be many repetitions of this,” Niyazov concluded.

Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that
that you are discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

Almost every one of us has done something crazy at least once in our lives. For some, a crazy thing to do is to pack your bags at the age of 18 and go to live in another city. For others, it’s to rush along the autobahn at a speed of 260 km/h. For still others, bungee jumping. But all this is nothing compared to what the heroes of this post did. What is it worth just to jump without a parachute from an airplane flying at an altitude of 7.6 km?

website I collected 10 crazy actions of people that hardly any of us would dare to repeat. And not because there is no opportunity, but because... it’s scary.

Jump from space

On October 14, 2012, 43-year-old Austrian parachutist Felix Baumgartner jumped with a parachute from the conventional boundary of space and the earth's atmosphere - from a height of 39 km (although the initially planned height was 36.5 km). A minute later, the extreme sportsman broke the supersonic barrier, reaching a speed of 1,357.6 km/h, and thus became the first person in the world who managed to do this without any vehicle. Baumgartner was in free flight for 4 minutes 20 seconds, and in total his descent lasted about 14 minutes.

By the way, the height record lasted until October 25, 2014: then it was broken by one of Google’s top managers Alan Eustace, who jumped from a height of 41.42 km. But this event was not so spectacular, besides, Eustace used a stabilizing parachute.

Descent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench

On March 26, 2012, the famous director James Cameron, for the first time in human history, descended alone to the deepest point of the World Ocean. Cameron spent about 3 hours at a depth of 11 km. During the dive, the director filmed a video and also, using special equipment, carried out scientific measurements, including taking several soil samples and catching several deep-sea creatures. The film he made was broadcast in 2013 in theaters and on the National Geographic Channel.

Note that the first dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench was made in 1960 by US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and researcher Jacques Picard.

Surfer conquered the biggest wave in the world

Brazilian surfer Rodrigo Coxa in November 2017 conquered the largest wave in the world - a height of 24.38 m. This was officially announced by the judges at the Big Wave Awards ceremony, held in California in April 2018, and added that this record will be included in the Book Guinness records.

And the record was set off the coast of the Portuguese city of Nazaré. This city is famous for its high waves created by underwater canyon with the same name.

Walked 142 thousand km. Barefoot!

68-year-old pensioner Vladimir Nesin from Nizhnevartovsk has been traveling on foot around the world for 22 years. Barefoot! Recently, a man calculated that over the years he had already walked 142 thousand km, visiting more than 120 countries. And he walks barefoot, because in this way “he feels connected to the earth, and it’s good for health.” Vladimir does not use maps or a compass, sometimes he hitchhikes, most often sleeps in a tent, eats on $1 a day, and most importantly, travels on his pension of 12 thousand rubles.

Almost an hour in “clothes” of 637 thousand bees

In 2012, a fearless Chinese man named Ruan Liangming set a world record by wearing a “mantle” of bees on his body, total weight which exceeded 62 kg. According to estimates, about 637 thousand bees swarmed on and near his body. Moreover, in such a “clothing” of stinging insects, he lasted almost 54 minutes, which was recorded by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.

Ride on the roof of a car at a speed of 260 km/h

In 1985, two American skiers, Sean Cridland and Kirsten Culver, set world records for skiing in full gear in a car. Kirsten rode at just over 246 km/h, while Sean rode at 260 km/h. Initially, skiers trained in this way to learn how to control their bodies in strong winds during racing. But then, together with the legendary Bonneville racer Rick Vesco, the skiers decided to set a kind of record, which, by the way, has not been broken by anyone to this day.

On the water by boat at a speed of 511 km/h

In 1976, Australian racer Ken Warby set the absolute water speed record. His speedboat was moving along the surface of the lake at a speed of 511 km/h. This record achievement has also not been broken to this day.

The extreme sportsman walked along the cable for almost a kilometer

In 2011, Swiss extreme athlete Freddy Nock set 7 records in the Alps in 7 days as part of a charity event under the auspices of UNESCO. In particular, he went through cable car, leading to the most high mountain Germany called Zugspitze, almost a kilometer without insurance and balance beam.

You may think this is a montage. We've already seen cats flying and what not. However, as it may not be surprising, extreme sports enthusiasts have such a “trick” as jumping without a parachute. Of course, a little later he puts on a parachute, but for some time he flies just like that...

“Risk for risk’s sake” has already been discussed a hundred times. Here are some details and examples of this crazy action...

The man in the video is called Travis Pastrana, all the details are on the website.
