It's because they keep opening the door, besides, if you have ever been in a real skydiving airplane, you would want to get out.
I found out one day that the fan at the front of the airplane is only there to keep the pilot cool. One day it stopped spinning, boy did the pilot start sweating.
Skydiving is a blast, I have made 143 1/2 jumps, see the pilot fan story above. Only 1 reserve ride and have thousands of memories of wonderful people, places and fun times. It is truly one experience that if you have ever thought about doing, DO IT!
