PARACHUTIST LANDS IN FRONT OF PLANE

(Troy Township, OH) George Parker, an experienced parachutist with 800 successful jumps, made a mistake during his descent yesterday and landed right in front of the plane that hoisted him aloft. The plane had just landed and its wing became entangled with the parachute lines, injuring Parker. He was in critical condition last night at MetroHealth Medical Center.

Now I'm not a fatalist, but jumping out of a perfectly good airplane 800 times seems to be tempting fate.
