And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I have never done that in my life, I have stood on the open ramp of a C-130 with the Gunners belt on, that's cheap thrills!
You're standing on the ramp, you and the plane are going 250mph. You jump up in the air... the plane will continue at 250mph, you are slowing down... will the plane travel far enough so you'll miss the ramp?
Jump right out and count to 4.
