    Among that argument’s many flaws is this:

    As worded, you and the baby exit the aircraft simultaneously but independently, each wearing a rig. The baby chose to jump by its free will, so you have no responsibility for deploying its canopy. If it decides to not pull, that is its problem, not yours.

    Plus, suicide is a sin, so the baby will go through the ground and straight to hell.

    Unless you assert that babies lack free will, in which case it’s part of God’s Plan(™️) and therefore God’s fault.

    Finally, every skydiver knows that voice communication is impossible at terminal velocity. Sorry, folks, Point Break’s skydiving scenes deviate far from reality.

    The USPA encourages safe and responsible skydiving by establishing regulations designed to minimize the risks to all parties involved in the sport. It strongly recommends that babies refrain from skydiving and absolves itself of all responsibility should a baby sustain fatal injuries while skydiving.
