I was Airborne, and the jumping, and STABO, the rapelling out of choppers was intense, this comes from a guy that can’t even tolerate being a roofer.
As a chopper pilot who supported air assault operations, I should point out that jumping & rappelling are controlled descents carried out by trained personnel under supervision.
Falling off a roof is not a controlled descent.
And although I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the sky on laughter-silvered wings, I am scared to death of going up on the roof, which I had to do when I sold a couple of old downtown buildings a while back.
Scaling a 25 ft ladder while remembering not to look down....geez!
