Challenge Text
Restrictive DZ freefall is where you jump out of a plane and have to make a difficult landing into a small area, maybe because you need to land in a tiny clearing in the middle of a large forest, or onto a narrow ledge halfway up a mountain. The Swiss are famous for their skills in restrictive DZ freefall mostly because they have lots of practice. Switzerland is a country with loads of mountains and forests. Swiss doctors and fire-fighters regularly have to land on tiny areas when they are undertaking mountain search-and-rescue operations, so their training is second to none.
