I have 117 jumps to my credit.
Many of them were from a DC3. First time I jumped from one of those planes, I found out I had some oil splots on my face. Noone really tells you about the oil that is thrown out by the radial engines!!!
One time my main failed to deploy. In the few seconds between My cutaway of the main and deployment of the reserve, it was a surreal world. Everything moving in slow motion, my vision was super clear, every detail seen and processed. Then the reserve opened with a thump and I felt like someone hot me with a bat. Reserve chutes are designed to open fast and hard.
"If that chute dont blossom round, I'll be the first one to the ground......If that chute dont blossom wide, I'll be a splat on the country side"
