The freefall site was especially interesting to me because in 1963 I knew a skydiver whose shutes failed at 5,000 feet near the NASA center at Clear Lake. We were expecting him for a backyard bar-b-que and he didn't show up.
His wife called and we went to the hospital the next day. Virtually every bone from his feet through his hips were broken--but he landed in proper form which saved his life--along with the spongy ground.
Whoop!
