I did a static line jump some years ago. When the jumpmaster opened the door, a woman in our group flattened herself against the bulkhead, shaking her head, and mouthing "No. No. NO!!!" She had to do the ride of shame to the ground in the plane. I notice how the jumpmaster in this video shook his head after she exited the aircraft. Hmmm. Maybe she did the same thing I did, not spread her arms out far enough. Lots of fun, though...and quiet as you float down to the ground!
@@kaasmeester5903 Yeah. Sounds likely. The ferocious sarge yelping out at him to GO! (and to NOT stand around holding up the rest of the stick). All that noise from the sarge and the engines, and all of those fumes from the jet prop exhaust circling inside of the aircraft, to later wonder why he hesitated jumping into serenity (for the moment), with all of that fresh air and green grass to look at below, replacing the sarges angry face 😁
There is no such thing as a perfect airplane. Just one operating within its redundancy. I always thought I might have to take off with you but I don’t have to land with you🙂
(Internal dialogue: "Don't vomit.......don't vomit.....don't vomit")...Dude I remember that terror. No greater test of courage than that. Storming the beach at Normandy is nothing compared to your first jump. You can always decide NOT to jump. Big, hairy, copper-plated balls get you out that door. A horrible exit, but I admire the shit out of her.
She did really well I thought about not sharing this but I admire her courage That go or not to go can change your life I chose to go but could have easily not gone life changer
Can't be courageous without first being afraid. That's why courage is a virtue while fearlessness is just a state of mind.
Ridiculous statement, fearlessness is virtue as well

The jump master here was hoping for a better exit having spent some time coaching her
She didn’t exit they way you wanted. Arch position
I recognize the game face. Good job!
It reminds me my first jump in the army 😂
Yours was THAT relaxed?
@@mickeymcnaughton2555 Sarge booted him out probably...

The first time I did that I was so nervous, I forgot my parachute in the plane ...
Sounds exciting
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great of you to push through 👍
Why did he shake his head ?
The instructor was wanting to see an student exit without the turn to the left
@@ianchick297- Safety issue ?
@@TheCanadianBubba practices for free fall you need to stay on aircraft heading or risk rolling into the deploying canopy
@@ianchick297- WOW ! Never thought of that ! Great to hear from you, that you made it ok !
This wasn’t me it a mates Girlfriend
Cudos for beating fear but I honestly doubt that she will continue skydiving
Braver than me lol.
She did well and will realise her dream of flight too
Jumping from balloon 800feet that sucks
Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane escapes me?
As a pilot and skydiver, I can say it depends on how good the mechanic is 😂
You've clearly never flown in a skydiving plane XD. You're happy to get out
Love it

No inflight service?

Yeah im happy for her, it certainly can be scary. But, the beaches of Normandy. 😂😂 That was a good one!! 😂😂
Uh.. charging into machine gun fire is soo much more than this !
