00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:15.520
So no time will be lost in collecting and piling their stuff in the same pile and being

2
00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:16.640
off to the fire.

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.200
In order to drop as straight as possible, the jumpers originally stood straight up in

4
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:27.980
front of the door of the plane and the spotter would say, do you see that target area down

5
00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:28.400
there?

6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.860
But if the jumper was a new man, the spotter wouldn't look.

7
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.620
Vibrates in the rocks below and his feet are thrown over his head.

8
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.760
So it is to be born in the sky with a loud noise and your feet where your head ought

9
00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:46.320
to be.

10
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:50.540
So it is to be born in the sky with a loud noise.

11
00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:55.380
The moment you cease to be umbilical, you become seed blown by the wind.

12
00:00:55.380 --> 00:01:01.420
It is very lonely for a young man to be seed in the wind.

13
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:08.400
Although you are seed, the sky still seems like the womb and you a seed are blown around

14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.080
the sky's interior parts until you lie on the top of a tree or hard rocks or grass.

15
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:24.180
If you land on the trees, you are probably lucky, especially if you have a long cord

16
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.800
in your pocket by which you can let yourself down to the rocks.

17
00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:33.780
But only a small percentage when they touch earth land on the tops of trees.

18
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:41.240
Try as they may to avoid landing on rocks, many do and one was killed when his wire screen

19
00:01:41.240 --> 00:01:43.540
face smashed into a cliff.

20
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:49.160
Landing smoothly from the sky does not come natural to man.

21
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:40.300
If he continues to miss sleep because of it, he doesn't tell anybody but he quits the smoke

22
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:44.840
jumpers and joins up with something like the crew that makes trails.

23
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.180
Whatever he tries it is something close to the ground and he never tries jumping again

24
00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:52.840
which makes him vomit.

25
00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:58.960
Fear could be part of the reason they are jumping only 15 men on this thing.
