Friflay — the extreme in free fall

Friflay — the extreme in free fall

Friflay carry to the young directions of parachuting. It appeared in the eighties the last century. Today friflay it is recognized as one of types of parachuting by which the official championship is held.

Literally "фрифлай" it is deciphered as free fall that in principle and corresponds to its sense. Falling happens at higher speed (250-270 km/h), than usually, the body at the same time is located in the vertical state (the head up or down), sometimes in sedentary therefore control of passing of the jump becomes complicated. During jumps the postural pose changes: athletes perform different tricks, become in certain poses. Any changes of arrangement of the body during flight influence change of speed and respectively the direction of flight, and therefore athletes have to be able to control the body completely.There are different types of friflay-jumps among which is: single and team (2 persons) jumps, Big-Wei (4 and more people), 3D - the formation (group jump). Jumps in which several people participate are most widespread. Then it is possible to create different figures during flight, using all variety of poses frifly.

Two persons together with the video operator also participate in the championship. Their performance lasts only 45 seconds for which they have to show most precisely the abilities to control the body, to show as much as possible figures. To be engaged friflay, it is necessary to complete the course (obligatory basic preparation) and at the same time to have experience of jumps from the parachute.

Today it is possible to study this sport in the wind tunnel. Falling time here more than two minutes, but not 45 seconds, as at the real frifla. The pipe is designed for eight people therefore it will be possible to fulfill different poses, figures, combinations, movements between partners. During training also rules of falling will be explained: how to hold flight level, to watch the partner, not to be disconnected from the internal pilot and others. It is also necessary to have basic preparation on acrobatics, otherwise will difficult control the postural pose during flight.

 So, friflay is one of the most fascinating and extreme types of parachuting. It takes the positive emotions which by all means will appear during the jump. It is necessary to have rather good basic preparation to be engaged friflay, and it is worth treating it very seriously.

Independent training won't bring any results. For this purpose special trainings which take place in several stages are required. To preserve personal and others' life, it is necessary to treat with respect preparation and safety rules during flight.
