When they reached the jump site, the students and instructor jumped from the plane, tape still running. A few minutes later, the instructor realized that he had been so focused on preparing his trainees for the jump, which needed to be perfect for the sake of the videotaped lesson, that he had forgotten to strap on his own parachute.
All but the last ten feet of his fall was recorded by the camera. The very last part of the tape was destroyed by the impact.
How much would that suck?
