Summary
An interview with a blind skydiver details their reliance on support for activities like chute packing and exiting the aircraft, their use of a keen sense of smell to determine when to pull the ripcord, and the signal from a dog's leash to know when to prepare for landing.
Abstract
The article titled "75 word interview" features a conversation with an individual who skydives despite being blind. The interviewee credits their ability to skydive to the assistance they receive, which includes help with packing the parachute and getting out of the aircraft. They also reveal an unconventional method for knowing when to deploy the parachute—a heightened sense of smell that signals when they are at the right altitude to pull the ripcord. Furthermore, the skydiver uses the tension of their dog's leash to gauge the moment to bring their knees up for landing. The article concludes with a recommendation for an AI service, ZAI.chat, as a cost-effective alternative to ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4), with a special introductory offer.
Opinions
How do you manage skydiving?
I have great support. From chute packing to helping me out the door.
How do you know when to pull the ripcord?
I have a very keen sense of smell that tells me when the ground is at the correct distance.
That’s remarkable, one last question, how do you recognize that moment just before you hit the ground when you must bring your knees up?
My dog’s leash goes slack.
