Better a live chicken than a dead duck.

And I can't think of any rational reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

I know the expression "never say never," but I'm going to say never. If I go up in a plane, I want to come back down in that same plane.

When I was in my 20's and 30's? Yes. I wanted to with my brother. Now that I'm in my 50's? Not so much.

of course..... nothing beats cheating death by jumping out of a perfectly good plane. I hear the high you get from the rush is better than anything you can take.

As any skydiver would tell you —— whoever said there was such a thing as a perfectly good airplane??

And to answer the question — yes, I have jumped from an airplane. Back in my younger days I used to watch a TV show called "Ripcord" (starring Larry Pennell and Ken Curtis) and told myself that this looks neat and someday I'd have to try it. About two decades later I signed up for a three-day course at a jump school in Omro WI. Ended up making four static-line jumps and one free-fall.

Several times in the 1990s. All "tandem jumps". All over the Florida Keys.
We used to house sit for friends in Key West every summer in the 1990s,
and a sky dive jump was always on the annual "to do" list.

I always told myself I would take lessons and eventually free fall on my own,
but I never did.

I never have and always wanted to, and up until as recent as 5 years ago, I would have if the opportunity would have presented itself. Not so much now.

Yes....

If the plane was going to crash.

No.
Don't see any reason to at my age.

Only if the perfectly good airplane was about to crash, and I think someone would have to push me out.
