What does skydiving equipment include?
Basic equipment ensures the safety and success of skydiving. For all skydivers, the equipment mainly includes four parts:

1. Strap, grab the paratroopers' bodies.

2. Container, where the main canopy and the spare canopy are placed. The container is attached to the belt.

3. The main canopy is stored in the container. The umbrella cover is usually opened first.

4. Spare umbrella cover. The canopy is similar to the main canopy, but it is used when the main canopy cannot be used normally.

In addition to the above four main parts, other parts of the equipment are used to ensure the normal work of the whole system. Other equipment includes the following components.

5. Fix the ripcord and hook (fixed ripcord is only used for skydiving) or the main ripcord used to open the main canopy.

6. Cut off the handle to separate the main canopy from the paratroopers. Use this handle only when the main canopy cannot be opened normally. The handle removes the air above the paratroopers, so that the spare umbrella surface is opened and will not be entangled with the main umbrella surface.

7. The spare handle is used to open the spare umbrella cover.

8. The front and rear lifters are used to operate the canopy.

9. Automatically activate the device (add). The equipment is an atmospheric pressure equipment, constantly analyzing the surrounding pressure, determining the height and descending speed. When the altitude is less than 984 feet (300 meters) and the vertical speed exceeds 125 feet (38 meters) per second, the equipment will be activated and the spare umbrella cover will be opened.

10. Altimeter, used to measure the altitude during skydiving.

1 1. Head protection device to protect the safety of skydivers when landing on hard ground. Strong and light, with buffer points inside. In order to reduce resistance, it is necessary to have a streamlined shape, a wide field of vision, and the size should be consistent with the head shape. People who jump for the first time may have to use hard helmets. More experienced paratroopers may want to use leather hats; Although the protection performance is poor, it is more flexible.

12. Satellite positioning system. In addition to accurately determining the position in flight, the most useful thing of GPS is that it can input the flight route into the instrument in the form of a program, which can guide you how to fly in the air and display the average flight speed and the estimated time of arrival at the next stop. It is very helpful to find the turning point of the target in the competition and long-distance cross-country flight and accurately control the flight route. In recent years, IATA only approved the application of GPS in air sports.

13. parachuting suit: clothes worn by airborne troops when performing parachuting tasks. Cold-proof, warm, moisture-proof and waterproof, and light and compact, the color has a certain camouflage. However, the airborne troops who are performing tasks are very eye-catching, in order to receive good viewing effects. The styles of parachuting clothes for foreign troops include jacket tops and breeches bottoms. The parachuting suit of China People's Liberation Army paratroopers has a drawstring at the bottom of the jacket and buttons and buttons at the bottom.
