Skydiving can be very fun.
This is where everybody jumps at once so that you can have formations in free fall.
The left engined is shut down to prevent blowing the people off.
It can be a blast.
As to jumping out of a perfectly good airplane - The aircraft typically only have abrupt stops when they are near the ground. So, why wait around.
