Imagine taking to the skies at over a thousand feet, jumping out of a 300,000-pound aircraft with nothing but a chute above you and the ground below.
It’s not for the faint of heart, but for paratroopers, hurling oneself out of a speeding plane is just another Thursday.
The U.S. Department of Defense released this video showing a first-hand view of a paratrooper jumping out of an airplane during a training exercise at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The video shows the paratrooper running to the edge of the plane and jumping towards Earth without hesitation.
With an amazing view of the landscape below, the paratrooper expertly floats to the ground with dozens of others.
