John & Chuck,
You two are really in synch. Your comments were time stamped the same,
and had essentially the same message.
I did not notice the "elephant-shaped" legs when framing the shot, and
he appeared to walk away, carrying his bundled-up chute, with no
problem. I did notice it when I was editing the image. I think his
problem is that he is a little short in the inseam department. The
skydiving operation has a twenty-foot long rack of jump suits that they
provide to their customers, supposedly covering all sizes. Apparently,
he could not find one to fit his legs. It certainly didn't dampen his
enthusiasm or spoil his jump.
Thanks for looking, in synch, on both sides of the pond.

This shot of a jumper shows the structure of the canopy better than
most. The inlets to the nine inflatable cells are clearly seen,
especially in the black, white and gray cells. He steers with riser
straps in either hand.
