Huh? I've only jumped once but I don't remember any negative G. Maybe zero G
for a second or two after you step off the step but no sense of falling. I
interpret that sick sense of in your stomach when I fall off a ladder as being
negative G... but there wasn't any of that with my jump.

Were you jumping from way on up there, where the aircraft was struggling to get
to your target altitude? Maybe that's the part I missed from my experience....
which was a static line jump with a T-10 from about 3500 feet.

Enquiring minds want to know...
