This guy should be fired. She clearly was having second thoughts when he pried her hands off the door.

(30,947 posts)But on my first jump, I was practically pushed out of the plane because I was having second thoughts. All went well after that as I came down perfectly in the drop zone. After that I had many mishaps, so I decided to end my skydiving career while I still had unbroken bones.
