It becomes foolishness is once you get married and have a family. At that point you are shirking your responsibility as a spouse/father/provider/etc. This was [IMO] incredibly selfish... the risk vs. reward ratio for a few minutes of youtube fame is severely outweighed by the risk of destroying a family.
Unless you have a VERY large insurance policy and your wife is the one pushing you out of the airplane. :biggrinjester:

I believe that is grounds for divorce :biggrinjester:
We say "REASON for divorce". We don’t talk about "grounds" when jumping out of an airplane without a chute. :mrgreen:

Re: Jump with no Parachute

Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane for any other reason than it being on fire and crashing is not a rational thing to do. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane without a parachute is .... well ... I’d rather not.
