Whoever came up with the idea of "climb down your reserve parachute" had clearly never attempted the task.[/QUOTE]Craigpo
When I was making a night jump I was doing PLF's in the sky because there was no moon and it was dark as hell........ I couldn't see anything and had no idea where the ground was at,I landed on some tall pine trees and since I could tell how high I was I pulled my reserve.............. I was in the process of going down when my feet hit the ground.......... yep I was about 4 feet from the ground and hadn't realized it........My 1st SGT was pissed when he saw both chutes deployed .......................
