ORIGINAL: RangerJoe There is a saying that if the parachute dies not open then skydiving is not for you. Well, that is not always the case: There was a man in parachute training who "Was the last one out and the first one down" since his parachute did not open. He fell 3500 feet, did a commando roll, walked away with minor injuries, then jumped again two weeks later. He was about 31 years old then, when he was 17 he grabbed a couple of hand grenades of which at least one exploded under him. He started high school wearing a blue ribbon with stars on it with a medal attached to the ribbon. He also had a wife who tried to kill him. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/09/incredible-jacklyn-h-lucas/ That is some story. Lucky bastard....GP
