Later Holmes studied to become an instructor and he worked in new zeland. One morning at an Airport near lake taupo, he prepared for a routine jump. First of all, Holmes checked his equipment :his jumpsuit, goggles, gloves, helmet and boots. After that he checked the most important parts of a skydiver's equipment: his harness and his two parachutes. There was a main parachute and a smaller safety parachute. Finally, he looked at his altimeter. There weren't any problems and he was ready for the jump.
