Running joke in skydiving has to do with "How many freeflyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  7.  One to screw it in and the other six to take video."

Watched a video the other day where *every* dude on the jump had a GoPro.

Was that Kittinger talking him through it?  From the comment "I couldn't have done it better myself"

Yes, Joe Kittinger was the voice of "Capcom."  He also made mention of "our guardian angel."  Pretty darn cool.
