SAS who jumped

Going back to the SAS guy who jumped.

A while back - about 10 years ago (swings lantern for effect) - I was taking to some of the folks from the Rgt and we got to discussing parachute failures and what to do. Their plan was to 'fly' the body to the largest body of water they could see and then the skim the water to kill the vertical speed.

Me, I'd just assume the inverted ball position and kiss a** good bye.

Are there any psycologists around who would like pick the bones out of that one?

Quack
