Don't think the military train you for this sort of encounter do they?

It reminds me of an incident years back at Thruxton airfield IIRC ,some female parachuttist(SP) was floating down to earth without a care in the world unaware that a helicopter underneath had its engine running, till the last few feet.
The helplessness you must feel.

Surely you would look down and see it and try and pull on the ropes of one side to collapse part of the chute to steer away from it. Helicopters aren't exactly quiet either.

I did post that video of the skydivers just missing an RAF chipmunk in another thread though, that would require a change of uunderwear
