(I think that was "Moonraker", where JB follows somebody ("Jaws"?) out of a doomed plane.)

I heard on the radio news this morning that he undid his seat belt and jumped. Can't find any links to it, though.

I noticed the initials JB in your response. It made me think of the name of one of the jumpers doubling as Bond, James Bond. His name is BJ Worth. A very well known and highly experienced jumper. I saw the JB as BJ and remarked to myself that perhaps you were familiar with the freefall community ?

Thanks for the recollection... There have been other movies where this sort of technique was used, but after being up all night (meteor gazing) and now up all day, my brain hurts just thinking about it. I can only wonder how the SEAL recruits do 5 days of hardcore training (hell week) on 2 periods of 2 hours sleep each, one of which, they don't even know is supposed to be a sleep period.
