Choreography in the Sky



The only way I would deliberately jump out of a plane is if the alternative is crashing, but some folks love the rush of skydiving. And when you seek adrenaline like that, you are always trying to up the ante. These folks managed to all sync up and hold hands while falling head first toward earth at terminal velocity. Just watching the video gives you a rush from the speed and the weird orientation.

We don't have any information on who these people are, how high they started out, or where they are skydiving. The most I could count at once was 18, meaning 17 in the frame plus the videographer. There may have been more. How many planes does this kind of stunt require? -via Born in Space

Some fellow-volunteers in my long-ago US Army Basic Training unit expressed strong desires to undergo paratrooper training, with postings as Airborne Rangers. I said, "It's one thing to jump from aircraft in peacetime, but rather gnarlier if folks shoot at us as we descend. No thanks." 8-)
