Good thing they have parachutes aboard. If you decide to go for it, do alot of research, and find the most reputable, and the busiest service you can. Most outfits fly cheap junk, with low time pilots that work for food just to build hours.
Well, if your gonna jump, he only has to be a halfway good pilot. He just has to get it off the ground. Landing is his and the plane owner's problem.
I don't like heights but I think it would be easier to jump from a plane than hang a deer stand or stair off of a 3 story building. But I don't have a desire since my knees are bad enough.
