Nice pack job, want me to tell you what you did wrong? Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Yes I have and there will always be little fights with kids, that's how it works. What it does is gives you an idea of how your style of parenting would fit in with hers. If you can't handle it you should end it now, otherwise you are shoplifting the booty! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

LMAO at the Abe Lincoln!!!!!!!!! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Glad someone listens to me! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Discuss it with your fellow jumpers, and not with the 'we know whats best for you' crowd here at dz.com. Yeah, especially those with less than 100 jumps that tell you to barrel roll I represent that statement! Although I'm a 100 jump wonder, I will present my comments based on my brief experience in the sport and if I'm wrong, I will learn from the comments of those who are more enlightened!

I personally will never do that again! I had a PCIT that I contribute to holding onto my pilot chute a few seconds after I extracted it....Once it comes out and I extend my arm, I have committed and it goes bye bye! I don't think they meant pull it and hold it, cause that would be fucking stupid. I think this is more of a "reach and touch it, then wait as long as you safely can before you toss it." Actually what I do is pull it and put the PC in my mouth, that way all you have to do is open your mouth to deploy Really though, you are correct, I didn't mean pull it, just put your hand on your hackey and look at your altimeter, pull when you get to your number. when is it that you think you should stop tracking to do this hackey-holding? In this instance what does it matter? Sounds to me like the person tracked back under the formation. Do you think everyone on a dive knows exactly what jump run is and knows which way to track? What if someone above you has tracked in the same direction you have and you can't see them above you? I've been disoriented by clouds more than once. My point is, if you can't rely on horizontal seperation, get some vertical seperation. I'm pretty new to this sport but I know enough that I don't want to be dumping in the middle of a formation, so I'm going to do what common sense tells me, and go low.

The most important thing to know when you go low is where the other jumpers are, if you can't see them, you HAVE to know where they are pulling at and pull lower. If everyone on that jump agreed to pull at 3K, you should have dumped at 2.5 which is still safe. I think someone else mentioned it, but why were people passing you in freefall? That will kill you QUICK! If they agreed to pull at 3 and were falling past you, you should have issues with them. I've been in this situation before, below the formation, and about 3.5 ground rush startes telling you to pull now. Grab your hackey, hold onto it, and stare at your alti until you are safe to pull. Works for me :) Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Very entertaining! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Me: Would you like to dance? Her: No Me: I didn't ask you to dance, I said you look fat in those pants!

They can't be too busy, they are taking 3 day weekends! I got charcoal camp and black, alternating panels in a crisscross patern :) Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Ordered my new freefly suit from Tony Suit today. Does anyone know how long it normally takes them to make it with the extra $$ paid for rush order? Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Ok, so tell it! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

LMAO!!!!!!!! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!

Damn! You know, I try to check snopes for emailed stories, but since the OP said it was told to him in person, I didn't think about it. But now it does sound too good to be true. His coworker must be a damn good bullshitter. I was actually googling for a news story about the incident, but started pulling up variations of the urban myth. That lying bastard, I'm calling him out on this one!!!! Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? Cause the door was open!
