Most jumpers pack their own
chutes to assure safety.

Iarachute jumping, originally an emer
gency escape for pilots and later
a daredevil sport at county fairs, has
now invaded the staid campuses of the
Ivy League. Undergraduates at Harvard,
Princeton, Yale, and other schools spend
their time between Greek literature and
modern philosophy diving from airplanes
for the sheer sport of it Their extracur
ricular activity works like this:
Participants wear two chutes (just in
case!) on a single harness and are carried
aloft in small planes which circle at 80
miles an hour about 2,000 feet up. Since
all sky divers are sure to reach the
ground (whether their chutes open or
not), the competition involves how close
they can land to a prescribed target
usually an X-shaped marking.
In Europe, where the sport is highly
popular, they've added an even more
daredevilish feature: delayed jumps, dur
ing which the diver, just as though he
were diving into a swimming pool, is
judged on the form he displays before
pulling the rip cord at the last instant.
American chutists, who hope to com
pete with the Europeans eventually, are
busy mastering the fundamentals before
attempting this wrinkle.
