And
then
he
made
the
choice
.
The
unbelievable
choice
With
no
parachute
,
Robert
Langdon
had
jumped
out
the
door
.
As
the
night
swallowed
his
tumbling
body
,
the
helicopter
seemed
to
rocket
off
above
him
,
the
sound
of
its
rotors
evaporating
in
the
deafening
rush
of
his
own
free
fall
.

As
he
plummeted
toward
earth
,
Robert
Langdon
felt
something
he
had
not
experienced
since
his
years
on
the
high
dive
the
inexorable
pull
of
gravity
during
a
dead
drop
.
The
faster
he
fell
,
the
harder
the
earth
seemed
to
pull
,
sucking
him
down
.
This
time
,
however
,
the
drop
was
not
fifty
feet
into
a
pool
.
The
drop
was
thousands
of
feet
into
a
city
an
endless
expanse
of
pavement
and
concrete
.
Somewhere
in
the
torrent
of
wind
and
desperation
,
Kohler
s
voice
echoed
from
the
grave
words
he
had
spoken
earlier
this
morning
standing
at
CERN
s
free
-
fall
tube
.
One
square
yard
of
drag
will
slow
a
falling
body
almost
twenty
percent
.
Twenty
percent
,
Langdon
now
realized
,
was
not
even
close
to
what
one
would
need
to
survive
a
fall
like
this
.
Nonetheless
,
more
out
of
paralysis
than
hope
,
he
clenched
in
his
hands
the
sole
object
he
had
grabbed
from
the
chopper
on
his
way
out
the
door
.
It
was
an
odd
memento
,
but
it
was
one
that
for
a
fleeting
instant
had
given
him
hope
.
The
windshield
tarp
had
been
lying
in
the
back
of
the
helicopter
.
It
was
a
concave
rectangle
about
four
yards
by
two
like
a
huge
fitted
sheet
the
crudest
approximation
of
a
parachute
imaginable
.
It
had
no
harness
,
only
bungie
loops
at
either
end
for
fastening
it
to
the
curvature
of
the
windshield
.
Langdon
had
grabbed
it
,
slid
his
hands
through
the
loops
,
held
on
,
and
leapt
out
into
the
void
.
His
last
great
act
of
youthful
defiance
.

No
illusions
of
life
beyond
this
moment
.
Langdon
fell
like
a
rock
.
Feet
first
.
Arms
raised
.
His
hands
gripping
the
loops
.
The
tarp
billowed
like
a
mushroom
overhead
.
The
wind
tore
past
him
violently
.
As
he
plummeted
toward
earth
,
there
was
a
deep
explosion
somewhere
above
him
.
It
seemed
farther
off
than
he
had
expected
.
Almost
instantly
,
the
shock
wave
hit
.
He
felt
the
breath
crushed
from
his
lungs
.
There
was
a
sudden
warmth
in
the
air
all
around
him
.
He
fought
to
hold
on
.
A
wall
of
heat
raced
down
from
above
.
The
top
of
the
tarp
began
to
smolder
but
held
.
