Jumping out of an airplane ... It was a static line jump from 4000'. When it was my time to jump you get out and stand on a small platform and look over at the jump master, he then told me in these words, " get the #$*& off of my plane".
So I let go, counted to three, looked up and saw that the parachute opened as it was supposed to. They then talk you down with a one way radio, pull the left toggle or the right. Then I landed and got a panic laden STAY DOWN STAY DOWN. I had landed two feet off the runway and looked up to see the wings of a glider three feet above my head as it was coming in for a landing.
One of the other jumpers that day had his main parachute not open but he was able to get the reserve open and proceeded to come down in the woods on the other side of the field. He ended up with a broken leg crashing into a tree.
