Surviving With An Aerobatic Pilot Parachute

By Raymond Campbell


Human beings are limited, physically speaking. They are not as strong as bears or gorillas. They are nowhere near as fast as cheetah. In fact, the fastest human being on record is barely half as fast as a typical cheetah. Then there are birds. They get to just spread their wings and fly. Human beings do not have wings. What they have are arms and legs. And a brain. Never forget the brain. That brain is much more powerful than anything any animal has. So while humans have serious physical limitations, they are smart enough to work around them. They cannot fly, so they created vehicles to the flying for them. But sometimes, things can go wrong, so they may require an aerobatic pilot parachute.

A parachute is, in essence, a blanket. It is made largely out of nylon. The way to work it is pretty simple, at least in theory. Put it one and rip the cord. The chute should come billowing out like some kind of umbrella or something similar.

They do exactly one thing. That would be to slow down a fall. Now, the human body is only so durable, at hitting the ground at high speed is a great way to overexert that durability. So it would be best not to do that.

Aerobatics is like acrobatics. People watch as entities way above the ground do a bunch of stunts that would probably kill a person. Except that instead of people, it is a bunch of airplanes doing the stunt work, so the stakes are significantly higher, and not just because the participants are.

The reason that a pilot engages in such activity is simple. Because they are paid to do so. The reason that such activity happens is simple still. Because people pay to watch. Audiences want to see something exciting. They want to see someone essentially tell off the concept of death and do things that would be suicidal under normal circumstances. Because that is the kind of thing that excites them.

The thing about falling is that it can be a really calming experience. The rush of air is supposed to be fantastic at clearing the mind. So the problem is not really the fall. The real problem is the end of the fall. Because when bodies hit the ground at high speeds, the ground invariably wins. The human body can only take so much force, and slamming into the ground at hundreds of miles per hour is a surefire way to break all 206 bones plus cause some serious brain damage, and that is if the person is lucky enough to survive.

Finding one should be a task that presents itself with too much difficulty. After all, the internet exists, which means that it can be used to find one. Anything and everything is available on the internet. In some cases, it might even be purchased at a local sporting goods shop.

But if something is available for purchase, that is because the seller is looking to make money on that item. So if the customer wants a certain item, they are going to have to pay some money for that item. So customers should be surprised when their bills come back higher than zero.

Being alive may not be easy. It may be hard. But it is still the only thing to do, which is why life should be preserved whenever possible.
