The weather was fine and the wind was well below the 10 mph (miles per hour) maximum allowed for jumping.
Free-falling with eight other members of her parachute club, Elizabeth watched the Cambridge shire countryside spread out beneath her. At 2,000 feet she opened her parachute. Seconds later she had the most terrifying experience of her life. At 800 feet and right on target for the landing zone, a massive gust of wind picked her up and swept her away from the airfield near Pampisford Village. As she fought with the parachute strings to get back on course, a main road and lines of trees loomed up before her. Using every ounce of strength she managed to clear them. But then came the moment of horror. She saw herself heading straight for three 11,000 volt electrical power tines. Elizabeth crashed into the tines before she had time to think or decide anything. Came with it a tremendous flash and bang.
Elizabeth, dazed but otherwise unhurt, found herself on the ground. She looked up. Her parachute was entangled around the cables.
What happened is not exactly clear. But what is certain is that she missed death by inches. Had her body connected simultaneously with two of the cables, she would have been electrocuted in an instant. But it seemed her body bounced off one cable and her parachute pulled the three cables together and fused the lot.
Elizabeth rose to her feet, calmly released herself from the harness and was able to walk away. Later at her home in Bristol, Elizabeth, a third-year law undergraduate, said: "My friends saw the flash, heard the bang and raced over. They were surprised to see me in one piece."
Her mother, Sue Ryder, whose husband was a famous Second World War bomber pilot, said, "Elizabeth had a miraculous escape. We were enormously relieved. But she is a very competent parachutist and was so calm about it that she went on to stay with friends."
Elizabeth, who has no intention of stopping parachuting, later discovered that her collision had fused the entire electrical supply in Pampisford.
An Eastern Electricity Board spokesman said, "She is very lucky to be alive. If she had touched two of the cables simultaneously, she would have been killed without a doubt."
Which of the following statement is true?
A.Elizabeth was not at all experienced in parachute jumping.
B.Elizabeth jumped from the twin-engine plane all by herself.
C.The wind was a bit strong when Elizabeth jumped out.
D.It was by sheer luck that Elizabeth escaped death.
