<p>When free falling you don't fully feel like you're dropping. Have you ever been on that tall roller coaster ride. You know, the one where you sit strapped next to a row of people, go up 250 feet in the air and then drop? Well, Skydiving feels nothing like that. (Again, that's thanks to physics).</p>

<p>I admit a certain affinity for all things military. The men and women who put on the uniform – for whatever nation – are folks who exhibit a high degree of bravery and dedication that has to be respected and admired. Such is the case of Mr. Alkemede. This particular incident is not, technically, a skydiving accident – but damn if it isn’t compelling as hell. Ironically, this is another chap who was serving in the Air Force of his nation during World War II. A First Sergeant in the Royal Air Force, Alkemade was a crew member of a British bomber, that was attacked by German fighters on a bombing run. Alkemade’s bomber was heavily damaged, on fire, and spinning out of control. Alkemade was left with very few options. He was either going burn to death with the approach of the raging fire, or die when the plane hit the fast-approaching ground.</p>
