With all due respect, when I was a young engineer and a new pilot I worked with a technician who was an avid skydiver.  Their club owned a plane but none of them were pilots so I had an opportunity to build some hours for free and enjoyed flying that Cessna 180 sitting on an orange crate with no doors on the aircraft while they leaped, sometimes to broken bones, scrapes, etc,  That said, I see absolutely no reason, now or then, for anyone to get out of a perfectly good airplane (which is any airplane whose control surfaces are intact).  Therefore I would classify those big balls as repurposed grey matter.

Spend a couple hours in a C130 flying nape of the earth and you won't give a crap about any intact control surfaces, you'll just be happy to jump! Plus if you don't jump out then you miss the pleasure of humping your gear the 20 something miles to the extraction point.

Honestly that was over in basic training. Overall you were treated with respect from Airborne school on, one thing they did yell that sticks in my mind was

"Puke and run boys, puke and run!"

I could hurl chunks while on the run and never get a drop on my boots, ahhhh the good ol days..............
