Read this little article about what went down for a family who wanted to go skydiving over the weekend in Cushing, Oklahoma. Then look at the picture of the plane they went up in.



1. About 4 p.m., the group posed for a picture before boarding a Cessna 182 Skylane piloted by Stephen A. Hill at Cushing Regional Airport to go skydiving.



2. The plane circled the airport several times before climbing to 3,500 feet. Coble jumped first, and his parachute safely deployed.



3. The plane banked violently to the left side. Witnesses on the ground told the NTSB the plane went slightly "upward then out of control in a counter-clockwise spin." The engine sputtered before cutting out. The pilot yelled for everyone to exit the plane. Jumpmaster Tony Hays was the next out.



4. While the plane was spinning, Jake Stieber was thrown toward the plane door and sucked out. He hit his head on the side of the plane but made it out, and his parachute deployed safely. As the plane continued to descend sharply, one witness told the NTSB the engines revved back up at about 300-400 feet. But the plane continued in what the NTSB called a flat spin before crashing in some trees.



5. The crash killed pilot Stephen A. Hill and seriously injured would-be skydivers Glenn Miller and Shelly York.





DO NOT GET INTO THIS PLANE. Why? Look at it...... plus it crashed.



Now..... Welcome to "Ragan's Rules of Life". On this segment, we will cover a very important time of decision making. This time comes when you are on a plane getting ready to skydive. If all of a sudden the pilot turns around to you and says "Everyone out of the plane now!" and the jump master is the first one out of the plane..... FOLLOW HIM!. Do not hesitate! I would be through the door before the pilot even finished his sentence. Don't wait until the plane is in a flat spin.
