My Uncle Damon died when his parachute failed to open after he bailed from an airplane that suffered structural failure during some aerobatics. Seems the other guy....who was sat next to the door....hesitated and finally jumped and survived while Uncle got out too late as a result and became The Late.

I am not the Aviator my Uncle was....I flew to retirement but did not make as much of an impression as he.
