Actually, I hurt my hip by jumping out of a Huey (a army helicopter - for the young-ens) one very dark night, during an air assault exercise.
The jerk chopper pilot was to touch the ground/water in the swamp when he told us to bail out, which would have made for a 5' fall.
Instead, we were about 15-20 feet off the ground when we jumped. Now, when you are loaded with full combat gear and you prepare for a combat roll after a few feet ....... and you don't hit the ground for another 15 feet ...... the landing can be quite uncomfortable, to say the least.
Needless to say, that was the loooongest 2-3 seconds of my life .....
Afterwards, we looked for that W-2 pilot ....... but never found him ......
Yes, I did fall ........
