    I would argue that there is a split second right at the end where the person is still alive and no longer flying

    Seems like Worf likes his tea with a pinch of LIES!

      If they’re high enough, they’ll probably asphyxiate before they hit the ground.

      Yep. The post is only true if the plane is high enough.

      Do not do it bellow cruise altitude!

    Push him from a spaceship and he will fly even longer.

        The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster disagree with you. Yes, the primary meaning of the word fly is moving through the air on wings, but they explicitly say space travel can also be called flying. Also this was about the man flying through space, not the craft.

          I wasn’t flying through space, I was traveling through space, officer, so I don’t need a space flying license!

      Wasn’t that zeppelin in Germany? When he said no ticket, and everybody got theirs out, but he was speaking English.

    I’ve been waiting for the day I get to push someone from the plane. Everyone always talks about it, and hopes it doesn’t happen to them, but we all secretly want to have the experience of applying our foot to someone else’s ass at altitude.

    Keep your pilot chute stowed, lads.

        If it helps, it’s because it is a really, really bad situation if the person’s pilot chute is unsecured inside of the plane. The pilot chute is a small chute that drags out your main parachute, and if it goes out the door it can be a terrible day for everyone involved. If it goes over the plane’s tail it can damage the control surface, ruining the pilot’s control; it can drag the skydiver out of the plane in an uncontrolled manner, leading to injury by hitting surfaces of the plane and possibly being entangled in the various lines; and the person can injure or cause more mayhem with the others still on the plane.

        If the pilot chute isn’t securely tucked away in the plane, courtesy is to stomp on it and everyone works to restow it where it belongs, but if it is near the door or already being sucked out the door? We all agree that the safest thing is to get that person out of the plane as fast as possible.
