“individual jumps. Some people go, like I went right to the first time I did a skydive, I had an instructor holding onto me from for both sides until my parachute deployed.

I think it's six months in between pack jobs now, but full, they open it up, the reserve, they open the parachute up, they inspect it. They make sure that the canopy is good. The lines are good.”
“activation devices have saved hundreds of lives. So that reserve parachute is packed by a rigger, most civilian jumpers will pack their own main parachute. It takes five minutes for an experienced jumper, maybe 20 minutes for somebody who is learning. And you can go do, I think the most jumps I've ever done in a day was probably 30.”

“two and a half minutes. Same jump, different choices. Not that you're going to be able to sit, you know, necessarily flying farther out. You still need to pack your parachute correctly and all those things, but your likelihood of impacting a tree at a hundred miles an hour with your face is a lot better than flying six feet off the ground around corners that hopefully you've”
