“Th e other possibility is AFF, Accelerated Free Fall, and then you<br />
do the fi rst jump together with two instructors and pull your parachute<br />
alone. Th e conventional training takes about four weeks, whereas the<br />
AFF method can be carried out in fi ve days,” he continues.<br />
“No matter if you choose conventional or AFF, you must always be<br />
in excellent physical health because during a skydive jump your heart<br />
beats up to 160 beats per minute,” Michael warns.<br />
team spirit<br />
Michael’s work is a combination of technological know-how and cooperation<br />
skills. He has to understand and solve the technological problems<br />
on customer sites, but it is as important to be able to communicate with<br />
other experts. Teamwork is a key issue.<br />
Enjoying the team spirit is also part of skydiving: “My favourite part<br />
of skydiving is when a group of a minimum of two people fl y together to<br />
form various fi gures. At the moment, the world record in this discipline is<br />
400 people fl ying at the same time.”<br />
“i Know why the Birds sing”<br />
“When fl ying in the sky, I feel happy and concentrated. I focus on playing<br />
my role in the formation correctly,” Michael says, describing his feelings<br />
in the sky. “In addition to my own jumps, I enjoy teaching my students.<br />
Th e goal is that they will be able to share the same unique feeling.”<br />
“To put briefl y: Skydivers know why the birds sing. Flying in the sky<br />
takes your troubles away, makes you feel free and without sorrow.”<br />
