On our first day of training for a charity parachute jump, the instructor made an important point. “Start preparing for landing when you’re at 300 feet.”
One student asked, “How do you know when you’re at 300 feet?”
“A good question. At 300 feet, you can recognize the faces of people on the ground.”
She thought about this for a moment before saying, “What happens if there’s no one there I know?”
