The only way I would deliberately jump out of a plane is if the alternative is crashing, but some folks love the rush of skydiving. And when you seek adrenaline like that, you are always trying to up the ante. These folks managed to all sync up and hold hands while falling head first toward earth at terminal velocity. Just watching the video gives you a rush from the speed and the weird orientation.
We don't have any information on who these people are, how high they started out, or where they are skydiving. The most I could count at once was 18, meaning 17 in the frame plus the videographer. There may have been more. How many planes does this kind of stunt require? (via Born in Space)

My father was drafted into the 82nd Airborne during the Big One WWII.
He said never jump out of a perfectly good plane.
Whoever said there was such a thing as a perfectly good airplane?
Seriously, think about it. Airplanes fly because of the Bernoulli effect of air moving over the curved surface of an airplane's wing, resulting in a difference of air pressure between the air ABOVE the wing versus the air BELOW the wing. The lower pressure above the wing creates lift, which draws the wing up.
Or to put it another way, airplanes fly because wings suck.
