    been reading this thread. and sitting next to an open door with my belt off above 1,000 doesn't bother me at all but since no one mentioned skyvans. everyone allways says. " let the big guy help with the door" I allways think to myself " SHIT!" lifting that sucker and getting it latched is allways a bitch. it's not that I'm scared of falling out. hell it's exit altitude and i've got a rig. but I don't want to end up doing a solo. and now a days the rule that " if someone falls off the plane on climbout everyone FUCKING GO!" doesn't seem to hold true i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .

    this one time at band camp. oh no I'm wrong it was at ft. campbell back in the 80's. i was tracking away from a formation. and the slider stuck at the top of the cascades. on my cruiseair 7 cell f-111 square and it would not come down. no matter how hard it pumped the brakes and beat on lines. till 1300 feet. then when i cuttaway and my round res. opened i was flying to a gravel road in the distence. looking for an lz any lz. over some open rifle ranges and start hearing gun fire and realize i'm over a hot m-16 range and the targets are bellow and behind me and the firing line is bellow and in front btween me and the gravel road/ intended lz. i was tucked into a ball and trying to get all the downwind speed i could out of a strong 26 ft. lopo. made it over the firing line landed on the access road. they never quit firing. is that scary enough? i have on occasion been accused of pulling low .
