Managed to do a parachute jump out of a balloon in Italy this summer. First balloon ride and an amazing experience.
As we drifted across some wonderful countryside the briefing consisted of "Jump if the fields look good enough, watch out for wires and if we can't find you try and hitch back to the airfield"
Freefalling from 3000 ft when you're more used to 13,000 certainly gives a certain edge to the speed of your deployment.
