Noticed it was a chipmunk first time I watched it...:)

Better than plastering into something like a C-152.

There are few better airplanes to smash into when in freefall in my own humble opinion.

Been there...from the airplane side.  Was in my glider thermalling under a very nice CU...maybe 500ft below cloud base at about 3500ft.  Heard the call from the jump plane.  I check my position...I'm in the cone, but directly under a cloud, so I figure I should be OK...jumpers are not allowed to pass though clouds.  Just then a black blur shoots right past my nose.  So close, it was only a blur.  I crank over hard to look down...and sure enough a damn crazy jumper had gone straight through the cloud.  Looked around and saw all his buds seemed to avoid the cloud just fine.

I went and had a talk with the jump master when I was back down.  But usual crap of "you shouldn't be in the cone" vs "you shouldn't be jumping though clouds".
