That is pretty cool, but it is something I'd never do.

There's a commercial on TV with a guy who's 66 and does that. Just a variation on skydiving.
Of course, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane isn't exactly a natural thing to do.

Way too cool
I am afraid I would look more like a C5A in one of those suits.
And would have the same rate of sink without jet assistance.

You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.

I was thinking the same thing about myself if I ever had the guts to try that, but I was thinking a C130.
