The same way you exit a 727 at 250mph...... I guess...

Quotehow do you exit a door at 200+ mph (or even 170 for that matter?)
It's a tailgate. Check out Skydiving Movies and look for a video called ride.wmv. It has some exit shots from the 727.
I just wanted to say that it is possible to do a linked exit.
It just doesn't hold very long. Expect to blast apart on exit.
Doing a 10-way out of the jet, we used leg-strap grips.
As the 1st person hits the slipstream, it drags on the whole group.
By the time the 3rd person exits, most of the team becomes airborne.
As number 9, I left the ground half-way down the ramp.
Grips blow apart almost instantly after exit, but at least you are close.
If you don't take grips, you may not find each other.
Pull up as tight as you can on exit.
Check all your pins. The container of the person in front of you
will hit you in the chest.
The speed transition is not like headown-to-flat.
It is zero-to-jumprun-speed in 1/5 second. Keep your elbows in or
your arms will wrench at the shoulder when the air hits them.
Camera should exit first or risk getting dragged and slammed.
Be safe and it is great fun.
