Reminds me of a joke. This fellow decided to jump for the first time even though he was scared. So, as they ascended, he asked the instructor what would happen if the ‘chute didn’t open. He reminded him that he had a reserve ‘chute. But what if that doesn’t open either? The instructor said with a slight grin, “In that case, there will be an ambulance there to pick you up.”
So, he jumped. He pulled the cord, the ‘chute didn’t open. He pulled the cord for the reserve…….it didn’t open. As he was hurtling toward the ground, he said to himself, “I’ll bet that ambulance won’t be there either!”

I suspect I’d go the other way & clench so hard I’m sucked into a black hole.

I’ve done it. It’s fun. Too expensive for a hobby, though.

“Soil yourself” has a different meaning when the parachute doesn’t open.

The only way I’d ever jump off a plane would be if the pilot jumped first
