Chapter 269
Of course, this is not the scariest thing!
The most terrifying thing is that among these 100 people, at least five flying masters still die every year in various ways...
In the 2nd World Wingsuit Flying Championships in 2013, a wingsuit pilot from Hungary suffered a parachute malfunction while flying in Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie and fell into the mountain and died...
In 2016, wingsuit pilot Ami Schmidl died while performing a live broadcast challenge on a mountain near Kandersteg, Switzerland...
On August 17 of the same year, 29-year-old Italian wingsuit pilot Uli Emanuele fell to his death while skydiving in the Dolomites of the Italian Alps...
Then on August 22, the world's top Italian skydiver Alexander Perri was flying in a wingsuit in France and eventually hit a tree and died...
One bloody example after another is before our eyes.
It takes more than just courage to achieve wingsuit flying.
It also requires rich skydiving experience and excellent psychological quality!
Even if you are a great winged man, you still face the risk of 30% mortality.
Because the sport of wingsuit flying is different from other extreme sports.
The principle that practice makes perfect does not entirely apply here!
You still need a little bit of luck to complete this difficult challenge!
It's not that Lu Yu didn't know these things.
In 2013, he even witnessed the scene when Victor fell to his death on the top of Tianmen Mountain.
At that time, the rescue team found the body of this great god after more than ten hours of searching in the mountains.
The situation is very tragic.
…
Along the way.
Lu Yu was thinking a lot.
But despite knowing the dangers of the sport, he was still full of yearning for it.
Because compared to flying in the blue sky, the cost of death and injury seems to have become less important.
"Mr. Lu, we are here."
The car slowly stopped in front of the hotel.
After hearing the driver's reminder, Lu Yu came back to his senses: "Oh, thank you."
"You look bad. Do you want to call Dr. Benjamin?"
"Oh, no need."
"Well, have a nice day."
"Same to you, see you next time."
"Goodbye, sir."
After saying goodbye to the driver, Lu Yu opened the car door, walked into the hotel, and took the elevator back to his room.
After entering the door, he drank a large bottle of soda water, walked straight to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sunset between the high-rise buildings, and was lost in thought. After a while, he slowly took out his mobile phone and dialed Anna's number...
Chapter 242 Ao Pang: You want to scare me to death so that you can inherit mine.
Aspirin? (Please subscribe, please vote)
Watsonton.
A certain neighborhood.
Fifth Avenue.
No. 132.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Anna was eating macaroni and watching the broadcast of "The Conan Show" on TBS, laughing heartily.
The special guest of this episode of "The Conan Show" is a former NBA star who smiles like a 300-pound fat man.
What they were discussing today was a hot topic some time ago - North Coast surfing.
In the TV screen, after a burst of laughter, the host Conan asked O'Neal: "Haha, OK, what do you think will happen if you go surfing?"
Aopang curled his lips and said in a funny way: "I don't know, but one thing is for sure, the storm may come more violently!"
"Why?"
"Why? Hey, man? Don't you know I weigh 325 pounds?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the celebrity guests present burst into laughter.
Immediately afterwards, the host asked again: "I heard that you watched the live broadcast at that time. What do you think of LUY?"
O'Neill stood on the podium and shrugged: "He is very powerful, it is undeniable."
"But do you know? Because of this guy's existence, the number of visits to our community hospital tripled yesterday? Don't ask me why, because I'm still taking aspirin until now - "
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
"OK..."
For a moment, the audience in the audience laughed and hid their faces, all amused by this cute fat man.
At the same time, several celebrity guests also burst into laughter and kept applauding him.
However, Aopang didn't take it seriously. He pointed at several guests and said seriously: "Humph, you are still laughing..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a good look at this group of people, Chrisdrea, Hannibal, Davis, Natasha, Pete..."
Every time a person's name is said, the director's camera will switch.
When everyone took photos with the audience, Aopang suddenly raised the corner of his mouth involuntarily and said:
"This is the most disappointing lineup I've seen since the last Lakers game!"
As soon as these words came out, Anna, who was sitting on the screen, was almost out of breath with laughter: "Haha, okay..."
…
After chatting for a while, the host asked O'Neal again: "Hey, man, did you know that LUY once live broadcasted jumping from the tallest building in China!"
"What? Live broadcast of jumping off a building?"
O'Neill deliberately pretended to be surprised, shook his head and said: "This is so crazy... How high is the tallest building in China?"
"More than 400 meters."
"Huh..." O'Neill took a breath and said, "Fortunately it's not 500 meters..."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to see him jump off the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere!"
Conan showed a puzzled face: "?"
"Are you trying to scare me to death so you can inherit my aspirin? My apartment is right across from the World Trade Center!"
After saying that, the laughter from the audience intensified and the applause was like thunder.
After a long time, host Conan suppressed laughter and asked: "What would you do if he really jumped from the World Trade Center?"
"How is it possible?! Don't worry, he won't... If he can do it..." O'Neill searched around, picked up a chair, and placed it in front of him: "Did you see it? I did this on the spot. The chair was eaten…”
"OK, our cameras have recorded your oath, haha, just kidding, okay, ladies and gentlemen, please dedicate your applause to the greatest player in NBA history..."
On the sofa in the living room.
While Anna was smiling, her phone suddenly rang.
After taking a look at the caller's number, she swiped a finger and answered the call: "Hi!"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yu looked at the urban buildings immersed in the sunset and said softly: "Ana, um... the day after tomorrow, I am going to start my second live broadcast."
Hearing this, Anna's eyes lit up: "Second live broadcast?"
"right."
"What are you going to broadcast this time? Skateboarding? Surfing? Skydiving? Or mountain climbing?"
When Lu Yu asked questions, Anna felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She concentrated all her attention and kept talking.
But unfortunately, all her suggestions were rejected by Lu Yu: "None of them. This time, I will demonstrate a new extreme sport - wingsuit flying..."
"Wingsuit flying? Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just do the preliminary preparations for me."
This kind of thing really cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
So Lu Yu didn't explain too much to her:
"In this case, you can help me make a few posters first, and then go and communicate with the relevant departments."
Anna was so confused by him that she wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, but she interrupted him anyway: "Wait, please, can you explain first, what kind of sport is wingsuit flying?!"
It seemed like she was very curious.
So, Lu Yu tentatively introduced this sport to her:
"It can be regarded as a kind of flying sport. When the time comes, I will put on a special flight suit and landing equipment, jump down from a high place, use my limbs to control the direction of gliding, complete the glide in an unpowered way, and finally land. …”
After some introduction, Anna was still half-understood.
But I seem to understand a little bit.
So, she asked: "Where is your so-called high place?"
"The roof of the World Trade Center."
"What? World Trade Center?"
Holding the macaroni plate, Anna looked at the proud Ao Pang on the TV and said, "Oh my god, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, what's wrong with you?"
