I love you, I won't kill you

Janice's senator father has the same hobby as previous US presidents, that is, he is keen on playing golf, a "money-spending sport" in the upper class of the United States.However, skydiving, which is also a "money-spending sport", can give the senator's daughter a completely different sense of excitement and excitement.

The silent sky and wonderful scenery left an indelible mark on Janice's heart.When she experienced the tens of seconds of staying at an altitude of 13000 feet, she felt that time seemed to have stopped.

Later, when Cody and she descended to 7500 feet (2286 meters) in the air in free fall, she felt the oncoming wind seemed to be penetrating her body.

However, she didn't know that she was being attracted by the strong gravity of the earth at this time, falling towards the surface of the earth at a high speed of 124 miles per hour (about 200 kilometers) per hour.And the gift her father gave her when she was admitted to college - Mercedes-Benz SLK55AMG top sports car, the top speed is only 155.5 miles per hour (about 250 kilometers).

Amanda has been flying beside the two of them. When she saw the numbers displayed on the altimeter, she knew that the flying altitude of the three of them was approaching 4500 feet (about 1372 meters).

Looking at the altimeter, he nodded at Cody.Means, "Now, it's time to open the umbrella!"

Cody nodded, stretched out his right hand to grab the main ripcord above his left shoulder, and opened the main parachute with a "wow...".

Before Janice had time to understand what Amanda meant, she felt a sudden, unknown force pulling her and Cody's bodies upward simultaneously.

Looking up curiously, he secretly exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, what a beautiful colorful parachute!"

"It's a pity that I opened the parachute before I enjoyed it enough. Well, where is Amanda?" Janice looked down worriedly.

"What? What's going on, why hasn't she opened the parachute yet?!"

"Oh my God! Her parachute failed???"

Janice eagerly reached behind her and smacked Cody on the thigh.Then, it pointed to Amanda who was falling at a high speed under her body.Cody nodded, then shook his head and smiled an "OK" gesture.

Amanda's parachute was not faulty, and she folded it herself and put it in the parachute bag.She also didn't want to easily use her body to verify how strong the gravity of the earth is.

She just planned to wait for the flight altitude to drop to an altitude of 1300 feet (about 396 meters) before opening the parachute for a safe landing.The strong wind blows over the body faster and faster, and the numbers on the altimeter are constantly changing rapidly.

"1400...1390...1380..." Amanda's eyes were fixed on the changing numbers.

"1320...1310...1300..." The number finally reached 1300 feet.

He reached out and grabbed the ripcord, and pulled it out suddenly, "Wow..." A red and white parachute opened without any accident.When the body stopped rising, Amanda held the parachute ropes on both sides with both hands to control the descent direction and speed of the parachute.

From opening the parachute to landing safely, it takes up to 5-7 minutes.Although the time is not too long, it is enough for skydivers to relax and enjoy the wonderful aerial scenery again.

After Cody landed, Janice quickly turned her head back and called, "Tell me, what happened just now?"

"Uh, I think it's better for the lieutenant to answer this question." Cody opened his helmet visor and answered, reaching out to unlock the safety lock on Janice's chest.

"Oh, why?" Janice asked curiously.

Amanda pulled the parachute and landed safely on the grass near the two.When she saw Cody and the two in the distance, she was so happy that she stretched out her right arm and waved it in the air.

"Damn it, God! Amanda, are you okay?" Janice stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Are you Janice, Debbie, or Jane?" Amanda asked, unfastening her parachute.

"Nonsense, I'm Janice."

"Oh, uh, good to see you again on the face of the planet."

Janice laughed at her words, "Me too. Wow, those last few minutes were amazing! Wow, did you think that was fucking cool?!"

Amanda smiled and retracted the parachute, and asked, "Yes, I also think it's very cool. You want to ask me, why did I fly so low before opening the parachute?"

"That's right. Don't lie to me, you mean you're doing advanced skydiving training? Wait, aren't you trying to talk about suicide or experience Earth's gravity for yourself?"

"Okay, the reasons you gave are all weird. Janice, have you forgotten what my job is?"

"No. As I recall, your job was as a Marine Corps pilot."

Cody approached with a pile of soft, sturdy parachutes waiting to be refolded, "Hey girls, how are you feeling?"

Amanda picked up her parachute and walked near the ground navigation building, "It's not bad. Cody, if I put the landing altitude at 660 feet (about 201 meters), what do you think?"

Janice asked curiously, "How high is 660 feet?"

"Well, it's only 660 feet from the air to the ground. It takes less than 10 seconds to jump out of the plane, open the parachute and land safely." Amanda explained.

"That's right. An excellent soldier can parachute at this altitude. I remember that in 1983, during the US military operation against Grenada, the minimum parachute altitude of the Army's "Delta Force" special forces was 500 feet (about 152 meters) ’” Cody explained.

"What? 500 feet, that's crazy!" Janice yelled.

"You're right, it's crazy." Amanda laughed.

The three talked and laughed and returned to the hangar near the navigation building. Amanda said to Cody, "Thank you, Rocketman."

Cody shook his head, "It's okay, I'm happy to work for pretty girls."

"Uh, Janice, do you want to dance again?" Amanda asked.

"Really? Can I dance again?" Janice called.

"Of course. If you want additional services such as aerial photography and photography, that's fine too," Cody said.

"Great! Amanda, that's it."

"Okay. Cody, I owe a whiskey. Um, can you help Janice?"

"Well, I don't know. I'm going back to the association to see if there are too many appointments today."

After Cody drove away, Amanda walked into the hangar with a parachute.Janice followed behind, looking around curiously, "Amanda, what are you going to do now?"

"Now, I'm going to refold my parachute and get ready for my next jump."

"Oh. Can you tell me what your advanced training program was?"

Amanda unfolded and flattened the parachute on the ground of the hangar, carefully checking for damage, "The advanced training program refers to the high-altitude skydiving content for individuals and military organizations to achieve their goals after obtaining a Class A license .”

Janice crouches down and sits next to the parachute, "Oh, so what's your goal?"

"Jump off the Sears Tower and fly free over Chicago."

"No way, I know how tall the Sears Tower is. If you want to jump off that building, it's definitely not skydiving."

"Hmm, I know. You want to say that jumping from that building is a paragliding event in extreme sports."

"Yes."

Amanda folded the parachute methodically and carefully, then said, "Listen, I can only do BASE jumping if I have a lot of skydiving experience. Although I have a Marine Corps airborne badge, this gold badge does not It means I can jump off that building without fail."

Janice's eyes were full of admiration, "Wow, Amanda, you are my hero! However, I still have one question that I don't quite understand."

"You're going to jump off the Sears Tower with just a parachute?"

"Interesting. You're not quite right, though."
