How to breathe when parachuting?
First of all, skydiving is about one and a half squares (1500 meters or more) on the big picture, and the limit distance is about three squares (3000 meters).
Here's an aerobatic parachute jump:
1. According to the distance of your skydiving destination, judge the opening time, such as the distance of 2 squares. You can consider opening an umbrella around 1/3 above the ground (of course, 1/2 is safer).
2. Control your own skydiving speed: 30-60, usually I suggest keeping it around 40, that is, press W to accelerate-release W to decelerate-press W to accelerate.
