You’ve heard of checking into the hospital.
Have you ever imagined jumping in?
That’s what the US Army Black Daggers Special Opeations Command Parachut Demonstration Team did last Tuesday.
They jumped onto the campus of Lexington Medic Center in West Columbia.
The event was part of the Army’s Salute to Healthcare Workers during the covid-19 pandemic.
The Black Daggers are volunteers from throughout the Army’s special operations community with diverse backgrounds and military specialties.
The team performs parachuting demonstrations around the country as part of community outreach and recruiting efforts.
They have jumped onto hospital campuses this year to thank medical professionals for their efforts taking care of covid-19 patients.
The Black Daggers jump from an airplane at an altitude of up to 8,000 feet and free fall for about 2 minutes at approximately 120 miles an hour.
They maneuver their bodies using their hands, arms, legs and shoulders to control their flight and land in a targeted location.
