Seemed like a good idea
Raised a couple of grand for charity and ended up being the last person to jump on the day as, and I quote the organiser, "Any windier and someone's going to be very unlucky, you were as close as I want anyone to get to not making the net" Thanks, I think.

Definitely worth doing

I did one about ten years ago, over a car park in Leeds
As I was first to go, I was strapped to the bottom of the cage before it was lifted up, with the following "jumpers" inside it. When it reached the top, the operator looked past me with a pretty convincing look of confusion, said "Hang on, where's the net?", and simultaneously released me. Fucker.
