Police in New York state say a 29-year-old man leaped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a camera but no parachute Saturday.
Officials say the man was observing on the flight, when he followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear. Police say they do not suspect foul play but they are not elaborating.
The pilot and owner of the Duanesburg Skydiving Club says he had begun to close the door when the man jumped. His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof west of Albany.

It's a good idea to layoff the crack for at least 8 hours prior to going up in the air.

video would be interesting to find out what he said when he realized what was about to happen.

if they knew he didnt have a chute... shoulda jumped out and try to catch him... now that would have been a better story
