What is parachuting like?
My first and only jump was in 1974. We jumped far too low (2000 feet) and so it was all over far too fast. I was first out, and I was hesitant. Simple reason: no one alerted me to the sensation of placing a leg out into an 80 mph wind. Felt like I was hitting something solid. Once out, I KNEW I was doing something wrong, but not what. The jumpmaster gave me the go, so I went. Alas and alack, I forgot to turn around before landing, so hit too hard and hurt my back (at least I rolled properly). My hesitation had made me well short of the target. That and the lowness of the jump are why I think I screwed up.
