You know, I've heard that story so many times, and I know it's supposed to
be funny, but all I can think is how irresponsible it is.


Its a form of check-out: If you cannot manage on on-field landing from ten
thousand
feet above it you probably shouldn't be hauling jumpers in beat up jump
planes all day,
and if you'll come back after a stunt like that you're probably cool to
party with.

Still a violation of the FAR's.

Personally, I stay far away from skydivers.

I did a rating for jump pilot and as a consequence had a couple of
jumps..
In my opinion no-one would be stupid enough to pull that trick but were
they that would be the end of their skydiving and the beginning of
their working career with a criminal conviction.
And.
I could (and did most times) get back onto the ground before the load !
