In any case, to this day I am not sure that I have done the right thing

depart and I have some 100 jumps to my name, admittedly some 30 years

This is interesting, because some people recommend all gliders making at
least one practice jump, partly on the theory they won't be so reluctant
to jump when they need to. Maybe it's more wishful thinking than good
advice, but I don't know of any "post jump" interviews to see if the
jumpee agreed with the theory.
