Skydiving

A man always wanted to go sky diving but was never able to gather the courage. He goes to the airport and inquires about what is involved in the jump.
The manager explained the procedure to him: “We are expert chute packers and have never had a failure. We take you up in the plane and tell you when to jump out. You pull the main chute ripcord. It always works but if it doesn’t, you pull the auxiliary chute ripcord. You float softly to the ground and we will meet you in that truck over there.”
The man decides to go for it. The plane takes off and circles the airfield. He jumps out and after a brief moment of free fall, pulls the mail chute which fails. He pulls the second ripcord and that fails as well. He looks down towards the ground and says, “I bet that damned truck isn’t there either.”
