That makes more sense than what I was thinking. My first thought was "How do all of those Chinese dudes land safely so they can get up and fight? Is it a numbers thing where half those fuckers will die in the fall, but the other half might not? Did they have ancient parachutes? Were they training in tactical rolling from a fall back then?"

I'm an idiot.
