Landing gear is only down shortly during takeoffs and landings, so all these Darwin Award winners would fall out near runways.

You're right. I didn't consider that. It's still sad. You have to be pretty damn desperate to attempt anything like that.

I lived directly under a flight path very near to Boston Logan Airport. Never had anyone fall out of the sky, but there were some days the planes were landing so low I thought their landing gear was going to nick the roof of the house.
