OFF TOPIC: ... My wife and I have experienced skydiving in the past. That was only from about 1,000 feet. It doesn't sound like much but when looking out the door of the plane, it's scary.

Anyway, I'm thinking of doing a HALO or what Navy Seals call HAHO jump. The jump is from 25,000 to 28,000 feet and you free fall at 200 mph for over two minutes before the chute opens. Two minutes is a long time. We have to wear special suits because it's about minus 70 degrees below zero at that height and you have to wear oxygen masks to breathe.

My question is, has anyone here ever done a HALO jump? I'm looking for insight.
