"We're ready now. Everyone, put on the equipment. Remember, you must strictly follow the coach's instructions. If you're scared, just close your eyes and take deep breaths. When you reach a certain height, the coach will remind you to open your eyes to enjoy the view. The scenery ahead is stunning. I hope you'll enjoy the experience." The coach gave the crowd the last few reminders through a loudspeaker.
The helicopter whizzed through the mountains and circled at the top. Wind swept towards it from all directions. From that vantage point, one could've enjoyed a panoramic view of Barnes's beautiful mountains and forests.
The coach continued, "Check if your parachute equipment is ready."
Janet's coach inspected their parachute pack twice, but didn't find anything wrong. Then he helped Janet strap on the equipment.
Lila bit her lip nervously as the coach helped Janet with the parachute.
Seeing that the coach didn't find anything wrong with Janet's equipment, Lila was relieved.
Janet and the coach were strapped together and they walked to the helicopter door, which had already been opened. Janet suddenly felt a sense of thrill and her stomach did a somersault.
"Get ready. We'll go first." The coach's voice was nearly drowned out in the wind.
As soon as Janet was ready, they jumped out of the helicopter.
The two of them plummeted through the air. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped and a fierce wind whipped at their faces.
Janet screamed subconsciously. When she opened her eyes, she seemed to have integrated with nature.
Just as the coach was about to launch the parachute, he suddenly found that it was stuck.
Janet also noticed that something was wrong.
"Why haven't you opened the parachute yet?" Janet craned her neck to look at the coach curiously.
But to her surprise, the latter's face was pale as a sheet and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead.
