Is Exiting A Small Door Beech A Lost Art?

As I was exciting, I tripped on my jump suit and Bob fell right on top of me..



It's a wonder that sort of thing didn't happen more than it did. The jumps suits were getting bigger and bigger. I had big bells on both my arms and legs and plenty of material to spare in other places on my jump suit during the mid 70's. (And I think jumpsuits just got bigger during the latter 70's.)

It seemed like everyone was trying to out-float the other guy, to the point that a cool RW jump suit was ten sizes too big. I guess someone finally figured out that having all that material flapping wasn't really an advantage....Steve1
