When Charlie boarded the plane, Zack Lyles pointed at one of the white men who was checking the parachute bag and said, “Master, this Russian man is Vasily, he used to be a paratrooper instructor. He’s been a professional skydiver for 20 years and is very experienced.”

Vasily stood up and saluted Charlie and spoke in Chinese “Hello, Master Wade! I will be acting as your temporary skydiving instructor. If you feel unsure, I can jump with you when the time comes.”

Charlie nodded and asked: “If I jump by myself, what should I pay attention to?”

Vasily explained “When we are close to the destination, I will choose the most suitable jump point according to the altitude, Airflow and wind speed. If you choose to go alone, then you must jump when I say jump. ”

He then handed Charlie a professional watch and explained “Master Wade, this watch can monitor your altitude, temperature, body temperature, heart rate, and GPS position in real time.
After you jump and stabilize yourself, I will be tracking you by GPS and guiding you through the whole process via radio to ensure you land as close to the drop point as possible.”

“In addition, I’ve set a reminder to open the parachute on this watch. If you reach the predetermined height, the watch will give out vibration and sound prompts. Then you can pull the main cord to open the parachute.”

Charlie took the watch and put it on his wrist. Vasily picked up a parachute bag, pointed to the ripcord and explained, “This is the cable for deploying the parachute. You need to pull the cord within 20 seconds of reaching the specified height, or you may end up in danger.”
