Ah, the joys of jumping from planes

Some days are pretty good. Some days find you with a punctured lung and broken ankle. That is one of those times you might think about just jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Of course, having a parachute isn't always all that much better and occasionally causes such things as punctured lungs and broken ankles as if you had fallen from a tremendous height with only blackberry bushes to break your fall.
Now, you would think that Mr. holmes being a jump instructor and all, he would think to check the pack job on his parachute. At 15,000 feet when he realized he didn't he decided not to jump after all. Sadly for Mr. Holmes...he had already departed the safety of the plane interior when he discovered neither chute was functional. So as he plummeted the 15,000 feet he reasonably assumed he was about to join the ranks of people such as the 70 year old dude who stupidly brought his wife a warm beer and the chick who refused to make her boyfriend a sandwich when he was standing next to a microwave.
Happily for Mr. Holmes...he was wrong. I really must agree with the friendly chap who "thought he might been in trouble". Whom, he just launched himself 15,000 feet from a plane without the benefit of safey devices or bungee chords to splat on the ground and you suspect he is in trouble? Not much gets by you, eh?
Well done, parachutists, thanks for continuing to show us that wise men keep their feet on the ground.
