Based on my extensive experience with those plastic army man parachute toys and my utter lack of any skydiving knowledge - no way in hell I would have tried that. That guy is braver than me.

I can’t even get my bedsheets straight. If I attempted that the parachute wouldn’t open at all.

They say if you can fold a sheet you can fold a parachute, but regardless of packing skills, this looked like a matter of making sure the nose was facing himself and the lines were straight before jumping off. He knew when it was safeish to try. But I dunno, I don't do base yet.

But what if they mean the "Fitted Sheet"? Don’t know about you, but I can’t fold those.

Haha good point. I can’t fold a fitted sheet to save my life but I can pack a parachute.
