[Towed_Jumper]

That's a great gif! However, many people mistakenly believe this is a clip of a towed jumper when in fact this is actually footage of how the US Army trains its people to be Olympic gymnasts...specifically tumbling for the floor routines. ;>).

To answer your question I was both a paratrooper and a jumpmaster in the Army. Mercifully, was never a towed jumper nor did I every have to recover one back into the aircraft as a JM. I just liked the term as a screen name.

I JM’ed many jumpers from Huey’s back in the day (Ft Rucker), one of which become towed, and had to be cut loose. Never myself either. A memory I would not have recalled had we not had this conversation. :)
