The action is very simple, when leaving the warehouse, cross your hands and shoulders, enter the stratosphere and do a flying shape, land high and raise your legs to let the coach land first. The plane is a glider, when the plane hovers to the specified altitude (3000 meters), the door opens in an instant, jumps down, rolls a little, open your eyes, you are flying!! Mauritius was all underneath, all kinds of screams, all kinds of shouts!!! The coach will also take pictures and videos with gopro, the view is super beautiful!!
