Could you or have you ever jumped out of a perfectly good airplane? [/B]

I did 3 static line jumps, as was described by einreb. Did 2 the first day I ever went--it was alot of fun--hardest part is stepping off the little step and letting your legs dangle while hanging from the spar--it is just hard to convince your brain to do that.
The last time was a few years back for a bachelor party--once again was fun, but the facilities left alot to be desired. Comparing it to the first place we jumped, I had an iffy feeling--especially when teaching how to land properly, they had us jump off 2 cinder blocks onto a blanket
Fears were unfounded that day, but about a year later, the lone plane they had(which we jumped from) crashed, killing the pilot, skydive outfit owner, and 1 other.
That being said--just go and do it--you will be smiling the whole time.
