- ask_b123 5y agoWow, that's terrifying and a good cautionary tale. Also, when I read > I’m hoping you can you forgive me as a minister of religion for likening this story to a spiritual cautionary tale. Yes, we do need to live each day as if it might be our last. I thought, "Hmm, sounds adventist", and sure enough :-)
- stavros 5y agoOh man, that's terrible. I can certainly understand how someone without a checklist that is verified by two people can do that, especially if you have a backpack on to mask the fact that the parachute is missing. Many times if I wear a tight jacket in the car, I forget to put my seat belt on, because I unconsciously mistake the pressure of the jacket for the seatbelt's, even though putting on a seat belt is usually the first thing I do. Poor guy.
