All skydivers plunge to earth. Their success seems dependent on their speed upon reaching the ground.

15000 feet is a feat worthy of praise just for the fact that he maintained his coherency unless of course he toted a portable oxygen bottle.

Probably a line over partial malfunction resulting in uncontrollable spin. Betted than a streamer aka a screamer but still a hard stop. Blue skies from crghill B17580

Let me say this again; They don’t make an airplane big enough to hold all the people it would take to throw me out.

Just gave me an idea. I'll setup a camera near the Sunshine Skyway bridge, and film it for a week. Fifty percent of the people who jump survive.
Then sell it to National Geographic.
Just kidding...

A skydiver's worst fear is having the parachute fail to properly deploy, and if this occurs at 15,000 feet, death would seem certain. In the air, altitude is life. The higher something goes wrong if it's going to anyway, the better. Having your main streamer at 15k is way better than having it do the same thing at 1k. It gives you time to sort it out or implement Plan B.
But then, who but military HAHO folks open at 15k? :-)
