Presumably they're hooked up to a line that pulls it automatically once they're away from the plane, like paratroopers. They don't actually pull their own chute.

Wouldn't the sharks be dead without water? They are like fish needing water to survive and breathe and need to constantly move to live.

So with them being dead because they are out of water it would be an easy skydive.

Sharks are provided, as is all equipment needed to ensure their survival.

I mean, either you die in 90-180 seconds or they do.

Or maybe they can breath air.

nah, sharks only die if they touch the ocean floor. if anything, making them airborne will mean that they're more alive and full of vitality than ever before.

If you read Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy you can find out about it from the perspective of a whale!

My wife actually knew someone who died skydiving-her chute just didnt open and that was it. I am not jumping out of a perfectly good plane.

Honest to God-I was in a hot air balloon crash once. We lost control trying to land and the gondola flipped over and everything. I just had bumps and bruises, but the pilot broke his arm.

I dont know why I told this story. No sharks were involved in it.

You should vaguely set it in the same universe as Snakes on a Plane.

I was thinking something like a news report talking about a corrupt cop smuggling snakes onto a plane to kill a witness, playing on a TV in the background or visible in a newspaper a shark is reading on the flight up or something like that.

But first you have to have a scene where the pilot of the shark plane says the same thing, only substituting sharks for snakes. It bridges the two universes and explains why sharks are falling from the sky. You cant have plot holes in Oscar bait prestige films like this. Unless you are Chris Nolan, in which case they let you churn out whatever fucking plot you want with no notes.

Wait.. DID I JUST EARN MYSELF A PRODUCER CREDIT????

TC, you do know that Sharks can't breathe out of water, so short of putting them in a giant water tank that you're going to push out of a plane with a massive amount of parachutes to make sure the water tank doesn't shatter on impact, you're just starving the sharks of oxygen by taking them out of their native aquatic habitat.

It's one shark. The movie title implies multiple sharks. It's likely that not every shark will look like that.

Absolutely. I'll put all my effort into gliding to the side, and I'm home free. A GWS's mass to surface area ratio is way higher than mine, so they have a much higher terminal velocity. I'll only have to worry about them for a couple of seconds, if that.

Damn, yeah that it scary. A cousin of mine in IA is a skydiving instructor and I've thought about doing it at least once in my life, but real stories such as that and KotH have traumatized me.
