    I jumped from a perfectly good plane once. It was using a static line at about 3,800ft. After exiting the plane we had to guide ourselves to the landing site. Best hundred bucks I ever spent.

    No one was badly injured in that collision and all landed safely.

    Even the pilots got out? That one with the starbioard wing sheared off looked like it would be a bear to get out of...lotta gees in that kind of spin.

    Pilots don't wear parachutes, and that bottom aircraft lost half its main wing and caught fire. At least one person died in that accident.
