I have hundreds of jumps, so wish to tell you something.
Relative work - where jumpers hook up with each other - - is one of the most fun things in life. I loved to jump last. You have to catch up to the other jumpers and to do so would go into a dive that would speed you past 200 mph. It was the biggest rush imaginable.
Good luck to this jumper. That’s a LONG time to fall.

I was the first of about 14 into the plane so I was the last out. While standing half inside and half outside the plane, I asked the instructor if anybody chickened-out at that point. As he said 'no' we both jumped. What a thrill! I remember looking back at that perfectly good plane and realized I jumped out of it (or was pushed)! :-)
Definitely want to do it again.

Dude, there are jumps where the incoming fire pretty much eliminates about half of those other jumpers and getting to the ground alive becomes the numero uno object in your head...your definition of fun sucks!!!
