How to jump out of a plane
comfortably Introduction
Unless you become entangled in the fantasies of childhood
movies, common sense has always told you: Do not jump! Everyone knows that if you jump off a second story building, chances are you will end up spraining or breaking an arm, finger, or ankle. Now imagine your mind''s response when staring four hundred feet down from the top of a cliff. There''s no way your mind isn''t rapidly spinning and asking your body, What in the world are you doing right now? Simply put, the human mind is not geared toward jumping off anything with a height greater than eight feet. After imagining the four hundred foot cliff, the next step is to put yourself on the edge of a plane flying 13,500 feet above the Earth''s surface, trying your hardest to erase the thought that in three seconds, you will be falling at a rate of 125 mph directly towards the houses and trees that you can''t even make out with your eyes. Here are some helpful hints on how to savor the moment you will always remember.
