00:00If one of your super power dreams is to fly, it's possible thanks to these.
00:11However, you need to spend money.
00:16But what if you're going to fly using just a do-it-yourself parachute?
00:23We just made it for fun.
00:27Made in just 2 minutes.
00:31I just tried it for the first time.
00:34And the materials we used were old shoes.
00:38The video we're using is just a cover.
00:42Will you join us?
00:50In a mountain resort in Guihulingan, Negros Oriental,
00:55this video was captured.
00:56At first glance, it looks like a man carrying an umbrella is being chased by the wind.
01:02But the man actually managed to fly using a DIY parachute.
01:07Oh no!
01:09How did he end up flying?
01:13Ahang talked to the older brother of the man in the video.
01:18He even saw him chasing his brother when he was being chased by the wind.
01:23I am Alex Verdida Silvano.
01:26I was the one who came up with the idea of making a DIY parachute.
01:30I made it so that I can upload it to Rails.
01:33Because I want to earn money and build a house.
01:39Because he wanted to fly, Alex came up with the idea of making his own parachute using wire and rope.
01:46Alex's parachute is his original concept that he tried for the first time.
01:50That's why he is still excited about making this content online.
01:53I made the DIY parachute in just 2 minutes.
01:58Because it is not difficult to make.
02:00No one taught me how to make a DIY parachute.
02:04It just suddenly came to my mind.
02:10Alex is the eldest of 7 siblings.
02:12Alex is the eldest of 7 siblings.
02:16In order to help the parents who are going to have their own farm and educate their siblings,
02:22Alex works at a mountain resort as an all-around boy.
02:33He is always stuck at their radio station tower at the top of the mountain.
02:38That's why Alex knows that the wind is strong in their area.
02:44But when he tried making the parachute,
02:47he said that he can't fly it.
02:50Maybe the DIY parachute I made doesn't work because I'm heavy.
02:55I tried to make it fly 5 times.
02:58The most complicated part of the parachute is that it has a glider.
03:02The glider is important because it will give him a motion down so that he can pull the gravity.
03:11And then it has a string.
03:13What's missing in the DIY parachute is the mass,
03:16the mass needed for the parachute to glide down.
03:22And knowing the density of a parachute,
03:26it should depend on the mass of the vehicle.
03:32Oh, no!
03:34How dangerous is a parachute made by an ordinary person?
03:39The science behind that DIY parachute,
03:42why it tends to glide too far,
03:47is because of what we call air resistance.
03:50Air resistance is part of what we call gravitational force
03:55where it is pulled down.
03:56Because the material is too light, it will pull it up.
03:59However, because the material he used is not appropriate to glide safely down,
04:07and the tendency is to pull it somewhere else.
04:12Now, let's go back to B-Boy.
04:15Because he is lighter, when he joined the flight,
04:21did he succeed in pulling the air up to 6 feet?
04:23Did he succeed in pulling the air up to 6 feet?
04:27It seems like he was in heaven.
04:30But they were happy.
04:32It only took a few seconds.
04:34Because the air suddenly got stronger.
04:37I, B-Boy, was the one who pulled the air up in the video.
04:43Then he had a hard time flying the DIY parachute.
04:48I told him that I was the only one who tried.
04:51Afraid that the air wouldn't go down,
04:55B-Boy suddenly let go of the DIY parachute.
04:59When I let go of the air, that's when I got nervous
05:04and I let go of the DIY parachute.
05:07That's when I fell off the tree in Malonggay.
05:10Since then, B-Boy's wounds and sprains on his feet have healed.
05:14The question is, will B-Boy continue this kind of trip?
05:21I won't do it again because it's dangerous.
05:25I don't want B-Boy to get hurt again.
05:27I won't do it again.
05:29I don't want anything bad to happen to me.
05:32Being a pilot is a great talent.
05:36But don't forget that safety is more important than success.
05:41Because with just a breath of air,
05:44your talent will be ruined.
05:47Aha!
05:51Hey!
05:55Hey!
05:59Hey!
06:21Hey!
06:23Hey!
