English term or phrase: walk away from a landing
During the landing phase he has really to make sure
that he is coming into the right position
on his knee and not twisting something like this.
To fight the fear of permanent knee damage
Marc decides to enroll in a parachute course in Spain,
to practice his landing techniques.
So the challenge for him is to understand
how to fly the canopy correctly.
Understand the aerodynamics and the physics
involved in making the canopy land well.
And what Marc's been doing in the air he's
been practicing this movement again and again.
So that when he does get into this slightly more high
stressful environment he is ready to do the right movement.
That's the physical side of it.
The mental side may take a little longer to overcome.
But you have to applying yourself to physical practice.
from now on, Marc will be filmed by a professional
skydiving cameraman
Did you see what my problem is.
I like to fall on my knees.
I think they are designed for landings.
But it is always good to survive
the first jump and as long
as you can walk away from a
landing it was a good landing.

Genre : « Lève-toi et marche ! » :-)

Et plutôt qu'un « atterrissage », je pense que dans le cas d'un parachutiste, il faudrait trouver une formule avec « se réceptionner/réception ».

agree  katsy: Il semblerait qu'on dit bien "atterrir" "atterrissage" en parachutisme

  -> Du moment qu'on reste en bonne santé ! Thanks!
agree  florence metzger

agree  Eliza Hall: Yes. I know a lot of small-plane pilots and "walk away from" a landing means survive it unharmed. It makes sense that parachutists would use the same term.
