Survival of the smartest.

Vesna Velovic, Luke Aikins, Ivan Chisov, Alan Magee, and Nicholas Alkemade all survived falling from great heights with/without parachutes that malfunctioned. Not so lucky for 24 year old Liam Byrne though.

…and missed the point of the post/article.

… which apparently was a sophistic use of the term “jump”. I contend (from years of experience) that no one ever “jumps” out of a J-3 Cub. “Clambers”, “extricates”, “disencumbers”, “escapes”, “disentangles”, “wriggles”, “disrobes” and quite a few other verbs are far more descriptive of the pilot-to-Cub separation process than “jump”.

I can’t help but to feel the need to explain to everyone who wants to come here that this is a joke. No need to analyze it, pick it apart, explain it or debate how it “should” be told.
