Dont know but imagine going into water with a chute

would be dangerous.

Also bet its kinda hard to tell how far above the water

you are from the chute.

Had some buddies in the service went airborne and tried

to talk me to going with them...still glad I said no

It was great going out to that giant field at Bragg

and watching a big jump...also the ambulances picking

up the injured.

There were trees on shore that I used to gauge my altitude. From 50’ I figured the chute would fall well clear.
