[Ha! They do a combat jump into the National Mall. Even I, a major 82d hater, would have to admit that’d be pretty cool. ]
Isn’t every jump tough on the knees and hazardous, given power and telephone lines, as well as other obstacles in the city? How’d you like to land on a TV antenna? Or a steeple?

If you don’t land right, sure it’s hard on the knees. As far as the rest, I’m not advocating that they do—I can come up with lots of reasons why they shouldn’t—just that it’d look pretty damn cool if they did.

Some kinds of jumps don't involve parachutes.
