I suppose if you're​ a Jaffa warrior who's used to using Ring Platforms, the concept of a parachute would sound like utter suicide.

[@fix0the0spade]

Jaffa1. The Tau'ri are surely undefeatable. Jaffa 2. Be careful where you speak such blasphemy! Jaffa 1. When entering battle they jump out of their flying craft from great heights, they do not use the rings. Jaffa 2. That seems unwise. Jaffa 1. They land unharmed and ready for battle. Jaffa 2. Oh... their magic must be powerful. Jaffa 1. Or their legs very strong...

It maybe apocryphal, but there is a story from World War II in which a British officer asks for volunteers from his Gurkha unit to jump out of the plane: he gets only a few hands raised, so puzzled, he asks what happened to legendary Gurkha bravery. Someone says to him, "they did not know they would be getting parachutes";)

[@blazerocker1734]

XD

[@ianmoseley9910]

The version I heard was that they volunteered but asked for the plane to fly as low and slow as possible to lessen the chance of injury, before being told about parachutes.

[@zarabada6125]

Definitely apocryphal. From the start of WW II the British had an extensive training programme for paratroopers before their first jump in battle conditions. To start with, they would do ground based training on how to safely exit the plane and how to land. Then they had a series of practice jumps (one contemporary account I read said his unit had 9 practice jumps before they were certified for a battlefield drop). Sending untrained troops into a parachute drop over enemy territory would be insane. Assuming that they all operated their parachutes correctly, you would still get a high number of injuries from bad landings. Not only do you lose a soldier from your operation, your whole unit becomes less mobile as you take care of your wounded.

[@seandlax9]

@@zarabada6125 "Assuming that they all operated their parachutes correctly, you would still get a high number of injuries from bad landings" This. A lot of jump school is learning and committing to muscle memory how to land correctly. Landing is....a little more violent than it's portrayed on film. Especially if you're a bigger dude.

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

Teal'c at the moment when they were discussing about jumping had a look very much like a soldier in my former army unit. In '03 while we were deployed to Iraq, we received a comp ride in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter as payment for a task we did for this aviation unit. This soldier was a 6'5", corn fed, hulk from Oklahoma of whom we took to calling "Big Country"... who despised flying. Everyone was just having a good 'ol time except for Big Country, he just sat there white knuckled. Then came the best part of the flight, something they called a Zero G Drop. The chopper ascended to an extremely high altitude then cut the engines. Everyone floated up from their seats for a few seconds, the pilot started the rotors again and we flew off just a 100 or so feet off the ground. Big Country was pretty white before the flight, he was now damn near transparent with a look on his face of utter terror. We all had good laugh at his expense after.

For all the technology of the Goa'uld, I am pretty sure they missed on something as basic as the parachute.

well they used ring transporters, to get to a surface of a planet, no need for a cumbersome and time consuming parachute.

[@nikolai60]

To be fair, the Goa'uld rarely invent anything. 99.9% of everything they use is scavenged off of everyone else. Parachutes don't last long enough to be scavenged off of dead races, rotting away too quickly, and the still living ones either aren't advanced enough, or have avoided being conquered.

Over snowing mountainous terrain, I guess it's a good thing she made arrangements in case they got separated.

Oh yea, I get what your saying, and I understand. In an episode of Battlestar Galactica they jumped the ship near a planet with zero orbital velocity. As the ship fell through the atmosphere it launched it's fighters then jumped away before hitting the ground. The science advisor to the show said it was completely 100% impossible to pull off a maneuver like that. The ship would just break up, because at those kinds of speeds the air would behave more like a solid than a gas. The science guy said to do it anyway because it would be very cool. It was. Sometimes you just have to do the impossible for more action or drama. It is fiction after all. The entire story line is a "lie".

As someone who went through airborne school, it's a good thing Teal'c is superhuman and has a symbiote to heal him quick.

In fact it was even considered as a method to drop Soviet paratroopers in the 30s....paratroopers being a strong word given they didnt have a parachute, the plane would just fly really low.

I so miss good tv fun like this

Should have used parachutes with static lines

Ya gotta love Teal'c.

[@jamesmartin9401]

So now we know that T'ealc's last name is Baracus.

[@BYERE]

As someone with a rather intense fear of heights, I share Teal'c sentiments... and have sweaty palms just watching them fake-jump our of a fake plane...

[@bq1013]

I mean they jump a good 10-20Kms away from that box they threw out, thats quite a tab for the equipment

[@eraldorh]

Doesnt seem like effective first training, you dont just jump and pull the cord or youll end up miles away from the team. O'neil didnt even explain to tealc what to do if the primary chute fails.

[@chevon1920]

What do you do if the chute fails, die??

[@PaiSAMSEN]

"This does not seem wise"

[@ianmoseley9910]

If the 'chute fails, you have the rest of your life to fix it

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

@chevon1920Pull your backup chute.

[@VideoAmateurLuxembourg]

Doesn't parachuting require special training? Just jumping and pulling that thing may sound easy but it is not. And even if you manage to do that, without training your chances to break your legs are 50%. I wouldn't have jumped.

[@ianmoseley9910]

Miau Talking to an RAF guy once , mentioned sport parachuting. Said he could not understand somebody wanting to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane.

[@robertmoore6149]

IF "we are separated"? The cruising speed for a C-130 is 336 mph. That translates into about 500 ft per second. So for every second they dither is another 500 ft apart from each other.

[@Judokast36]

Teal'c is completely confused by a some backpack that's supposed to help him NOT fall to his death, and the one I really feel for is Jackson, that dude is just some academic, poor guy prolly never jumped in his life. I loved this series so damn much.

[@Judokast36]

@Manek Iridius Teal'c said some very profound words as always.."This does not seem wise" when all he had was what seemed to be a backpack. I would have loved to see his reaction to just this cloth thing opening up above him as he is falling. :This STILL does not seem wise!" lol

I can't believe that that is counselor Troy.

[@magicalmagicmagician5223]

Earth should've utilize more of these unorthodox tactics against other alien races when they finally have access to space worthy ships and transports Paratrooping is such a unique earth tactics i doubt any Jaffa commander or Goa'uld could anticipate it

[@Alverant]

The thing about parachuting is that once you jump you have to do something or else you're dead. There's no turning back at that point.

[@zio6055]

They're wearing tyvek painter's suits with fur lining sewn into the collar.. You'd think the costuming budget for this scene would have been higher than $40.

[@slitor]

I think its a bit unlikely that SGC would allow teal'c and Jackson to do this without training.

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

um NOPE ... wouldnt be the first time untrained people were forced to leave a plane ... it is preferred they have experience ... when it isnt planned as anything but a last resort ... then trained or not if youre needed your going but then a static line is usually used so they dont forget to pull the cord ... it gets pulled for them

[@ianjones7740]

The box went out... Then they chatted for a while... So they will land several kilometres from their equipmemt... THAT does not seem wise !

[@DKNguyen3.1415]

Jumping out of like a caveman. Where are the transport rings?!

[@marcatteberry1361]

Should have had Teal'c say "This does not seem wiiiiiiiiiissssssse" as Jack pushes him out, mid-sentence. It worked the way it came out, but..

[@RoadTr]

Going at that speed and with their delays in jumping they would have been all over the drop zone. Many miles from the objective. When the jump light comes on the plane needs to empty out in seconds.

[@ericandes4288]

I'm surprised Tealc didn't just pull it as soon as he jumped and died based on O'Neil's instructions. You need to pull it at the correct altitude or it'll fail
