    From Kittingers jumps came a lot of data that was applied to bettering the chance of survival of a high altitude ejection and bailout.
    Crazy....maybe but someone had to do it.During that time the pressure suit glove didn't have a positive lock,just closed position ,he lost his glove.The next line of suits had them.

    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    That's freakin' hilarious!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
