Meaning: Mid-Air
The reason your helmet fell off is because you got tackled in mid-air. You got hit so hard that your helmet just flew off. It probably would have stayed on had you been standing on the ground, but you were up in mid-air and this is the reason you lost your helmet.
Imagine yourself being tackled in mid-air. Feel the wind being knocked out of you as you are hit and crash to the ground. It hurts a lot. You may have broken a rib or two.
Reading: ちゅう
But wait, who tackled you? It was Chewbacca (ちゅう). That wily wookie. Chewbacca just came from outta nowhere and tackled you in mid-air. You were just skipping along in your helmet like any other day and BAM, Chewbacca nails you.
Hear Chewbacca’s wookie yell as he tackles you out of mid-air. Now you’re on the ground trying to catch your breath, but you keep inhaling wookie hairs from Chewbacca’s body. It’s terrible.
