Jumping out of a plane and then souly depending on a sheet attached by a bunch of strings to come out of a backpack your wearing and unfurl and open perfectly is absolutely fukin crazy
Think about it you're depending on some idiot that makes 8 bucks an hour to repack and check heavily overused parachute backpacks all day long and is high as a kite and sweatin the Yankees bet hes got his rent ridin on and forgets to check either the strings or sheet or release mechanism or whatever on one of the packs and the next thing u know ur lookin at a balled up pile of fabric above your head as you fall to earth at a 100 mph...the last thought that goes through your head before you die is what a fukin moron you are
BTW do life insurance policies pay out on failed plane jumps or is it considered suicide...its like 20 bucks a month for a guy in his 30s to get a term life plan for a half million...if you skydive frequently this has gotta be a huge +EV wager
